Abstract (sommario):

La terrestrialisation (colonisation des milieux terrestres) est une étape majeure de l'histoire de la vie. Elle s’accompagne d’une explosion de la diversité biologique en milieu continental (terre ferme, milieu aérien), et remodèle les enveloppes superficielles de la Terre. Dans le règne animal, les arthropodes apparaissent comme les principaux acteurs de cette révolution écologique (ex : insectes, arachnides) qui débute probablement dès l’Ordovicien (485-444 Ma) et s’accentue au Carbonifère (359-299 Ma). Une autre composante majeure de cette faune arthropodienne, les myriapodes (‘milles pattes’), semble avoir colonisé les milieux terrestres très tôt et joué un rôle crucial dans le développement initial des sols et le cycle des nutriments, ouvrant ainsi la voie à de nouvelles colonisations végétales et animales. Le gisement à préservation exceptionnelle de Montceau-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire ; Carbonifère, ~305 Ma) possède une flore et une faune riches et diversifiées conservées en 3D dans des nodules et offre donc une véritable fenêtre évolutive sur la terrestrialisation. Le but de cette thèse est d'étudier les trois groupes de myriapodes présent à Montceau-les-Mines: les diplopodes ("millipedes" en anglais), les arthropleurides et les euthycarcinoïdes afin de reconstituer avec précision leur morphologie, leur mode de vie, leurs adaptations à la vie continentale, leur rôle dans l’écosystème continental ainsi que leurs relations phylogénétiques (avec leurs représentants actuels)
Terrestrialisation (colonisation of terrestrial environments) is a major step in the history of life. It goes along an explosion of biological diversity in continental environment (land and aerial environment), and reshape the superficial envelopes of Earth. In the animal kingdom, arthropods are one of the main actors of this ecological revolution (ex : insects, arachnids) that begins surely since the Ordovician (485-444 Ma) and increases during the Carboniferous (359-299 Ma). Another main part of this arthropod fauna, the myriapods (millipedes and centipedes), seems to colonise land early and play a crucial role in initial development of soils and nutriments cycle, leading the way to new floral and faunal colonisations. The exceptionnally preserved locality of Montceau-les-Mines (Saône-et-Loire; Carboniferous ~ 305 Ma) yields a rich and diversified flora and fauna preserved in 3D in nodules and offer an evolutive window on terrestriaisation. This PhD goal is to study the three groups of myriapods present in Montceau-les-Mines: the diplopods ("millipedes"), the arthropleurids and the euthycarcinoids to reconstruct with accuracy their morphology, their life mode, their adaptations to continental life, their role in continental ecosystem as well as their phylogenetic relationships (with extant representatives)

Os artrópodos constituem um grupo que possui um extenso registro fossilífero e hoje constitui o grupo mais abundante e diverso dos animais terrestres. Suas pistas fossilizadas, aliadas a estudos geológicos, fornecem dados importantes para estudos paleoecológicos. Através da análise da oscilação da densidade de icnofósseis ao longo dos horizontes do Parque do Varvito (Município de Itu – SP) foram realizadas inferências sobre a história geológica da área, sobre a população de artrópodos que provavelmente ali viveu e sobre as condições ambientais que a circundava. Para isso foram utilizadas metodologias como a do esquadrinhamento para obter informações a respeito da densidade e direcionamento das pistas e experimentos com a finalidade de reproduzir as pistas em condições semelhantes aquelas encontrados no parque. Além disso, foi realizada uma classificação icnotaxonômica das pistas e sua atribuição a diplópodos (Myriapoda) terrestres. A contextualização da análise tafonômica com a história deposicional do Parque do Varvito levou a conclusão de que os miriápodos, de hábitos terrestres, habitavam uma área de inundações cíclicas e, conseqüentemente, passavam por condições de estresse ambiental no verão, quando a área recebia o afluxo da água de degelo de uma geleira localizada a uma distância relativamente grande da região do Parque durante o Carbonífero. A condição de estresse ambiental para esta fauna, que poderia ou não causar episódios de mortalidade, ocorria em função de uma fina lâmina d’água que provinha da geleira. Pelo fato das pistas estarem com direcionamento preferencial, pode-se inferir que esses animais fugiam das inundações durante o verão (condição estressante), cujo fluxo de água teria provavelmente uma orientação similar. Considerando as evidências da influência periglacial e o aporte da água de degelo, o frio intenso poderia ter levado ao congelamento dos solos no ambiente terrestre, gerando ambientes subaquáticos rasos, bem como a formação de capas de gelo, o que dificultaria as trocas gasosas e a obtenção de nutrientes. As pistas também apresentam formas circulares e semicirculares que foram interpretadas como marcas de agonia do animal sob situação de estresse, corroborando a reconstrução paleoecológica inferida no presente estudo.
The arthropods represent the most extensive fossil register and the most abundant and diverse group of all terrestrial animals. Their track and trails provide important data for the study of this group evolution besides helping understanding their diversity and modern distribution. By analyzing the oscillation of the density of ichnofossils along the horizons of Varvito´s Park (Itu – SP), were made inferences about the geological history of the area, the population of arthropods that probably lived there and on the environmental conditions that surrounded them. For the analysis of the density and direction of the tracks, the methodology used was the esquadrinhamento. Also, an experiment was conducted in order to replicate the tracks in similar conditions to those found in the Park during the Carboniferous. It was made a taxonomic classification of the tracks and they were assigned to terrestrial diplopods (Myriapoda). The contextualization of the taphonomic analysis and the depositional history of Varvito´s Park led to the conclusion that myriapods, which have terrestrial habits, inhabited an area of cyclic flooding and therefore experienced environmental stress conditions in the summer, when the area received an influx of meltwater from a glacier located at a relatively long distance of the Park during the Carboniferous. The condition of environmental stress for this fauna, which may or may not cause episodes of mortality, was taking place due to the a thin sheet of water that came from the glacier. Because the tracks were in a preferred direction, one can infer that these animals got away from floods during the summer (stressful condition), which flow of water would probably have a reverse orientation. Considering the evidences of periglacial influence and the outflow of meltwater, the cold might have led to the freezing of soils in the terrestrial environment, creating shallow underwater environments, as well as the formation of ice sheets, thereby impeding gas exchange and the obtainment of nutrients. The tracks also present circular and semi-circular forms and have been interpreted as marks of animals’ agony under stressed conditions, corroborating the paleoecological reconstruction inferred.

Abstract (sommario):

Rhinocricus Karsch, 1881 possui atualmente 207 espécies descritas e distribuídas principalmente pelo continente americano, das quais 65 são descritas para o Brasil. A descrição do gênero foi baseada na presença de escobinas (depressões na porção distal dos prozonitos). O presente estudo avaliou a monofilia de três grupos de espécies previamente propostos em Rhinocricus. A matriz de dados foi composta por 39 caracteres morfológicos e 30 espécies terminais, sendo 21 como grupo interno e nove do grupo externo. Nós realizamos uma analise de parcimônia com pesos implicitos usando o software TNT e obtivemos a melhor árvore com a mesma topologia para três melhores valores de K (5.992, 7.309, 9.105). Nenhum dos três grupos de espécies de Rhinocricus foi recuperado monofilético. Rhinocricus (Erythocricus) sanguineostriatus foi recuperado irmão de todas as outras espécies, e Argentocricus Verhoeff, 1941 resultou parafilético. Os caracteres diagnósticos tradicionalmente utilizados para separar grupos de espécies, subgênero e gênero não foram recuperados como sinapomorfias. Ainda durante o exame do material quatro novas espécies de Rhinocricus foram descobertas e são aqui descritas. Futuras investigações incluindo amostras mais amplas de espécies são necessárias, para estabelecer hipóteses de relacionamento robustas entre R. (Erythocricus), Argentocricus, e o restante das espécies de Rhinocricus, deste modo identificando grupos monofiléticos no gênero e suas sinapomorfias.
Rhinocricus Karsch, 1881 currently has 207 species described and distributed mainly by the American continent, of which 65 are described for Brazil. The genus was based on the presence of scobinae (depressions in distal portion of prozonit). The present study evaluated the monophyly of three groups of species previously proposed in Rhinocricus. The data matrix was composed for 39 morphological characters and 30 species as terminal taxa, being 21 the ingroup, and nine the outgroup. We performed a parsimony analysis with implied weights using TNT software, obtaining the same best topology with three optimal K-values (5.992, 7.309, 9.105). None of the three previously proposed species groups of Rhinocricus was recovered monophyletic. Rhinocricus (Erythocricus) was recovered sister to all other species, and Argentocricus Verhoeff, 1941 resulted paraphyletic. The diagnostic characters traditionally used to separate species groups, subgenera, and genera were not recovered as synapomorphies. Still during the examination of the material four new species of Rhinocricus were discovered and here described. Further investigation including a broader species sample is needed attempting to establish robust relationship hypotheses between R. (Erythocricus), Argentocricus, and the remainder species of Rhinocricus, thus identifying the monophyletic groups in the genus and their synapomorphies.

Abstract (sommario):

Nous avons examine en languedoc les variations saisonnieres de la structure des peuplements des diplopodes en fonction des perturbations anthropiques, estime leur role de consommateurs de litiere, et teste en laboratoire l'influence de certains facteurs pouvant affecter leur microdistribution ou leur rythme d'activite. Les milieux les plus favorables sont constitues par les taillis, ou les diplopodes forment les peuplements dominants des organismes consommateurs de litiere. Leur role est determinant dans la fragmentation de la litiere, participant a sa transformation en synergie avec les microorganismes edaphiques. La photoperiode, la temperature, l'humidite de la litiere et du substrat, la nature de celui-ci, sont parmi les principaux facteurs qui controlent le taux de consommation de la litiere qui est maximal au printemps et en automne, le froid hivernal et la secheresse estivale ralentissant le processus. La litiere agee est plus consommee que celle de l'annee. L'origine geographique des individus peut modifier les preferences alimentaires. Sous taillis de chene vert les diplopodes fragmentent entre 11 et 15% au moins de la litiere tombee au sol annuellement. De nombreux facteurs anthropiques (coupes a blanc, eclaircies, paturage, pietinement) sont susceptibles de modifier l'organisation des peuplements de diplopodes, entrainant des changements dans le taux de fragmentation de la litiere. Les glomerida sont plus sensibles que les iulida a ces perturbations
The seasonal variation of diplopod community structure has been examined in languedoc, according to anthropic perturbations. The role of the diplopods as litter consumers has been estimated and the influence of specific factors which affect their microdistribution or their activity rythm has been tested in the laboratory. The most favourable environments are constituted by the coppice where the diplopods compose the dominant community among litter consumers. Diplopods have an essential role in the litter fragmentation. They take part in its transformation, synergistically with edaphic microorganisms. Photoperiod, temperature, water content of both leaves and substrate, as well as soil nature, are important factors which control litter consuming rate. This is maximal during spring and autumn because winter frost and summer drought slow down the consuming process. Old litter is more consumed than the current-year litter. The geographic origin of the millipedes can modify feeding preferences. It has been shown that under holm-oak coppice, diplopods fragment at least from 11% to 15% of the litter which falls down annually on the ground. Many anthropic factors (cutting, clearing up, animal feeding, trampling,. . . ) are able to modify the community organization of the diplopods, leading to change in the fragmentation rate of the litter. The glomerida are more sensitive than the iulida to those perturbations

Abstract (sommario):

A fascination for electronics development platforms was the starting point for this project. Brought forward from open source initiatives, these exist of modular hardware toolkits and software. This modularity allows people to use them in different configurations to support a variety of contexts and purposes. In this way it enables them to bring just about any idea to life. There is an emerging trend on the web, where people modify or hack into products, trying to change or extends their products to fit their needs. As technology is becoming cheaper and embedded in everyday products, it allows products to become more flexible, and be more sensitive towards these trends. My project has been an investigation in developing a method for design, which promotes modular product systems, rather than closed, fixed products. Open-ended design is an approach which supports an exploration space for end-users. Focused on laymen users, allows them to investigate what functionality and behaviour is needed for their own interests and niche purposes. The open-ended design framework was used to design Myriad: a flexible, modular camera system to complement GoPro cameras. Myriad exists of a growing library of modules, sensors and a mobile app which combined create unique camera functionality and behaviours.

Chatburn, Luke Thomas. "Myriad : a distributed machine vision application framework". Thesis, Cardiff University, 2006. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/56045/.

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis examines the potential for the application of distributed computing frameworks to industrial and also lightweight consumer-level Machine Vision (MV) applications. Traditional, stand-alone MV systems have many benefits in well-defined, tightly- controlled industrial settings, but expose limitations in interactive, de-localised and small-task applications that seek to utilise vision techniques. In these situations, single-computer solutions fail to suffice and greater flexibility in terms of system construction, interactivity and localisation are required. Network-connected and distributed vision systems are proposed as a remedy to these problems, providing dynamic, componentised systems that may optionally be independent of location, or take advantage of networked computing tools and techniques, such as web servers, databases, proxies, wireless networking, secure connectivity, distributed computing clusters, web services and load balancing. The thesis discusses a system named Myriad, a distributed computing framework for Machine Vision applications. Myriad is composed components, such as image processing engines and equipment controllers, which behave as enhanced web servers and communicate using simple HTTP requests. The roles of HTTP-based distributed computing servers in simplifying rapid development of networked applications and integrating those applications with existing networked tools and business processes are explored. Prototypes of Myriad components, written in Java, along with supporting PHP, Perl and Prolog scripts and user interfaces in C , Java, VB and C++/Qt are examined. Each component includes a scripting language named MCS, enabling remote clients (or other Myriad components) to issue single commands or execute sequences of commands locally to the component in a sustained session. The advantages of server- side scripting in this manner for distributed computing tasks are outlined with emphasis on Machine Vision applications, as a means to overcome network connection issues and address problems where consistent processing is required. Furthermore, the opportunities to utilise scripting to form complex distributed computing network topologies and fully-autonomous federated networked applications are described, and examples given on how to achieve functionality such as clusters of image processing nodes. Through the medium of experimentation involving the remote control of a model train set, cameras and lights, the ability of Myriad to perform traditional roles of fixed, stand-alone Machine Vision systems is supported, along with discussion of opportunities to incorporate these elements into network-based dynamic collaborative inspection applications. In an example of 2D packing of remotely-acquired shapes, distributed computing extensions to Machine Vision tasks are explored, along with integration into larger business processes. Finally, the thesis examines the use of Machine Vision techniques and Myriad components to construct distributed computing applications with the addition of vision capabilities, leading to a new class of image-data-driven applications that exploit mobile computing and Pervasive Computing trends.

Abstract (sommario):

The monophyletic taxon Diplopoda, which is classified as a class, is one o f the four taxa within the monophyletic subphylum Myriapoda that plays an important role in terrestrial ecosystems. Millipedes represent important members o f soil macrofauna due to their role in the soil forming processes that are connected with the biodégradation and fragmentation of dead plant material and other organic matter. As the material for study, two millipede species: Archispirostreptus gigas and Julus scandinavius have been selected. A. gigas commonly called as the giant millipede, is one o f the largest known millipedes and is widespread in the south-eastern regions of Africa. J. scandinavius is distributed mainly in Central and Northern Europe with a marginal extension into the Balkan and East European regions, so it is a representative o f our native fauna. Millipedes are an object of many toxicological and ecophysiological studies, however, knowledge about the ultrastructure and physiology o f the digestive system of these animals is still incomplete. The research was carried out to obtain information on the details o f the ultrastructure o f midgut epithelium and to describe the physiological processes which take place in the midgut of above-mentioned species. The material was analyzed using light, fluorescence and transmission electron microscopies. The results o f this study have shown that in both millipedes examined here, the midgut has the tube-shaped internal duct that spreads along the entire length of the middle region of the body. It is surrounded by visceral muscles and hepatic cells (liver cells) distributed along its length. Hepatic cells form the fusiform junctions that protrude into the basal regions of the midgut epithelium. These cells play an important role in the storage and transport o f backup materials and are responsible for the accumulation and neutralization o f harmful substances that originate from the metabolism or food. The midgut is lined with a pseudostratified columnar epithelium in which all cells come into contact with the basal lamina. The midgut epithelium is lined with coated multi-layer perytrophic membrane with a regular grid pattern. Three types o f cells can be distinguished among the epithelial cells: digestive cells, secretory cells and regenerative cells. The most numerous cells are digestive cells which have a columnar shape and a distinct regionalization in organelles distribution as has been described for other arthropods. The basic role o f these cells is the digestion and absorption as well as the transport and accumulation. They are responsible for the synthesis and secretion. Substances that are produced and accumulated in the cytoplasm o f the digestive cells are released into the midgut lumen due to microapocrine secretion in both species, while the apocrine secretion was observed, only in J. scandinavius. Histochemical stainings showed that lipids, polysaccharides and glycolipids accumulated in both o f the species that were analyzed. However, proteins were detected only in J. scandinavius. The second type of cells in midgut epithelium are regenerative cells, which are individually distributed along the entire length o f the midgut in the basal regions of digestive cells. The mitotic divisions o f the regenerative cells in J. scandinavius and A. gigas result in the formation of two cells. One o f them is the regenerative cell as it is, and another differentiates into the digestive cell. Thus, the divisions of regenerative cells are asymmetric. Regenerative cells in both species could play the role o f unipotent midgut stem cells. Secretory cells are also individually dispersed among the basal regions o f the digestive cells. They do not contact the midgut lumen, and therefore they are o f a closed type. Their ultrastructure is similar with ultrastructure of endocrine cells in insects. They are characterized by the presence of numerous granules o f different electron density in the entire cytoplasm. In J. scandinavius, all secretory cells have the same structure, whereas in A. gigas two types of these cells have been distinguished. The processes o f degeneration o f the central epithelium occur through autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis. These types o f cell death are typical, also described in other invertebrates. In both the species examined here, the autophagy could be induced by changes in the ultrastructure and function o f cell organelles and the presence o f potentially toxic substances. It is the kind o f strategy o f cell survival. Apoptosis is the most common type o f cell death in the midgut epithelium o f J. scandinavius. It is a major process o f removing disrupted and damaged cells from the epithelium and it participates in homeostatic maintenance. In A. gigas mainly necrosis is responsible for described function, while the apoptosis is less frequent.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 70-72).
Distributed sensor networks make extensive use of a common time reference. In this work we address the problem of time dissemination in a packet switched network when the nodes are NOT generally all connected to an accurate, external time reference source. We thoroughly analyze Network Time Protocol - version 3 and identify its oversimplified clock modeling and its neglect of network delay variance (network jitter) as the primal causes for its inaccuracy. We explicitly address frequency skew in our clock model and propose a novel Kalman filtering technique for de-noising (remove of network jitter) during the NTP time synchronization process. The parameters of the Kalman linear estimator are optimal and they are computed online from the network environment, with a well-defined procedure. Our End-to-End technique decreases NTP rms error by two orders of magnitude and is compared with a software phased lock loop and a linear programming technique, with cross traffic exhibiting long-range dependence (fractional Brownian motion cross-traffic) or no dependence at all (white Gaussian case). We conclude with applications over packet switched networks that require time synchronization, like spatial filtering (beam-forming). The suite of algorithms and applications define a new class of packet switched networks, called Myriad Networks.

Abstract (sommario):

Skin tone bias or colorism is “the tendency to perceive or behave toward members of a racial category based on the lightness or darkness of their skin tone” (Maddox & Gray, 2002, p. 250). It is “the prejudicial treatment of individuals falling within the same racial group on the basis of skin color” (Thompson & Keith, 2004, p. 46) and “the allocation of privilege and disadvantage according to the lightness or darkness of one’s skin” (Burke & Embrick, 2008, p. 17). Skin tone bias/colorism is a form of discrimination based on skin tone that typically privileges lighter-skinned individuals and penalizes darker-skinned individuals within and across racial and ethnic groups (Hunter, 2007; Jones, 2000). For my study, I focused my investigation of skin tone bias/colorism in relation to Blacks in the United States of America.

I conducted semi-structured face-to-face individual interviews with 30 Black undergraduate students (15 men and 15 women) at the University of Pennsylvania using purposive sampling. To triangulate data for this study, participants’ skin color was determined by two self-report assessments: the Skin Color Satisfaction Scale (SCSS) (Bond & Cash, 1992; Falconer & Neville, 2000) and the Skin Color Assessment Procedure (SCAP) (Bond & Cash, 1992; Coard, Breland, & Raskin, 2001). These assessments were administered prior to the interview.

Contrary to societal myth, Blacks are not a monolithic group. The impetus for my dissertation was to develop a qualitative study that necessitates the acknowledgment of the heterogeneity of Black students’ backgrounds and experiences with college, to ultimately shed light on the potential challenges faced by varying Black students in college based on skin tone, and to provide recommendations for Black students to effectively navigate highly selective institutions of higher education – with hopes to increase their persistence and success in college. Recommendations for higher education institutions, faculty, and student affairs administrators to better support Black students are also provided.

My research questions were as follows: How do the academic, personal, and social experiences of lighter-skinned Black students at a highly selective higher education institution vary compared with the experiences of darker-skinned Black students? How does this variation in experiences between lighter and darker-skinned Black students matter within the higher education context?

Abstract (sommario):

The SkePU skeleton programming library utilises algorithmic skeletons to offer a high-level approach for creating parallel applications. By using different back-ends, SkePU applications can run on multicore systems, GPGPU systems, and computer clusters. Myriad 2 is a low-power multicore vision processor for embedded systems, capable of running parallel applications energy-efficiently. Myriad 2 is heterogeneous, containing two different processor architectures and memories with different characteristics. In this thesis, we implement a back-end for SkePU, that allows SkePU applications to run on Myriad 2. We describe how the back-end is designed and evaluate the performance of SkePU applications running on Myriad 2. By conducting a series of benchmarks, we show that our back-end achieves enough performance to make SkePU a useful tool for creating applications for Myriad 2. We also show that SkePU applications can run more energy-efficiently on Myriad 2, compared to a GPGPU system.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In the first chapter, we revise the taxonomy of a lineage of plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) that has radiated in the islands of French Polynesia. Six species of endemic Pseudoloxops plant bugs were previously known from two islands in French Polynesia, indicating a small radiation. We collected ecological, morphological, molecular, and geographical data for hundreds of fresh and historical Pseudoloxops specimens, expanding the genus' range to nine islands in two archipelagoes (the Austral and Society Islands). We combined all of the above data sources in an iterative integrative taxonomy framework to test the six existing species hypotheses and to search for new diversity.

In the second chapter, we explore the relative importance of ecology and geographic isolation in this lineage to provide a first approximation of whether the radiation was adaptive or non-adaptive. We collected Pseudoloxops from a wide range of plants, with 27 species in 25 different plant families and 13 orders. We then inferred a combined Bayesian molecular phylogeny from three genes, including 25 of the 26 known Pseudoloxops species, to examine the roles of plant affiliation and geography (island distribution) in speciation. We reconstructed the ancestral states using parsimony for these two characters, and found 12 speciation events that were well-supported in the phylogeny. Both plant-switching and island-hopping were correlated with speciation. For the 7 speciation events for which we could unequivocally determine plant affiliation before and after speciation, 4 were associated with a plant shift. For the 8 speciation events where island distribution could be reconstructed, two involved shifts to a new island. There were 5 cases for which we could determine both character states before and after speciation. In three of them, speciation occurred within the same locality with a switch in plant taxonomic order, suggesting that the lineage has great dietary versatility. However, much more research into feeding needs to be conducted, as anecdotal evidence from Pseudoloxops outside of French Polynesia suggests they may be facultative predators. In the other two speciation events, there was neither a geographic shift nor a change in plant affiliation, suggesting some other mechanism for speciation. Based on our results, both plant-switching and geography have played a role in the diversification of this radiation.

In the third chapter, we address the larger societal impact of taxonomic and biodiversity research by examining the effect of a natural history-driven curriculum on elementary schoolchildren's scientific knowledge. While studies have demonstrated the potential for natural history education to improve children's attitudes towards and knowledge of science and nature, few studies have been done in areas where indigenous culture heavily influences children's worldview. The lead author taught a nine-month natural history/biodiversity class focused on insects and plants to fifth-graders at the Pao Pao elementary school on the French Polynesian island of Moorea and tested their scientific knowledge before and after receiving the program. We compared their results to a control that did not receive the program, and while both cohorts improved, the experimental group's improvement was significantly greater (mean of 82.2% vs. 30.5%). We performed a delayed post-test evaluation three years after the conclusion of the program with a subset of the experimental cohort to test their retention and interest in science. Finally, the qualitative coding of the experimental group's test and survey responses revealed both the influence of indigenous culture on their scientific understanding and the appeal of taxonomy and field trips to children. When prompted for an example of a native plant, 24% of the experimental group named a plant introduced by the Polynesians, suggesting the misconception that plants with a prevalent role in indigenous culture have always been there. In the follow-up survey, 36.7% mentioned the field trips among their memories of the course, and 20% gave full scientific names for species they recalled from the class. The latter contrasts with the commonly held belief that taxonomy is too arcane to connect with the general public. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis is the first full-length study of the English clergyman and historian William Cave (1637-1713). As one of a number of Restoration divines invested in exploring the lives and writings of the early Christians, Cave has nonetheless won only meagre interest from early-modernists in the past decade. Among his contemporaries and well into the nineteenth century Cave’s vernacular biographies of the Apostles and Church Fathers were widely read, but it was with the two volumes of his Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688 and 1698), his life’s work, that he made his most important and lasting contribution to scholarship. The first aim of the thesis is therefore to build on a recent quickening of research into the innovative early-modern genre of historia literaria by exploring how, why, and with what help, in the context of late seventeenth-century European intellectual culture, Cave decided to write a work of literary history. To do so it makes extensive use of the handwritten drafts, annotations, notebooks, and letters that he left behind, giving a comprehensive account of his reading and scholarly practices from his student-days in 1650s Cambridge and then as a young clergyman in the 1660s to his final, unsuccessful attempts to publish a revised edition of his book at the end of his life. Cave’s motives, it finds, were multiple, complex, and sometimes conflicting: they developed in response to the immediate practical concerns of the post-Restoration Church of England even as they reflected some of the deeper-lying tensions of late humanist scholarship. The second reason for writing a thesis about Cave is that it makes it possible to reconsider an influential historiographical narrative about the origins of the ‘modern’ disciplinary category of literature. Since the 1970s the consensus among scholars has been that the nineteenth-century definition of literature as imaginative fictions in verse and prose – in other words literature as it is now taught in schools and universities – more or less completely replaced the early-modern notion of literature, literae, as learned books of all kinds. This view is challenged in the final section of this thesis, which traces the influence of Cave’s work on some of the canonical authors of the English literary tradition, including Johnson and Coleridge. Coleridge’s example, in particular, helps us to see why Cave and scholars like him were excluded lastingly from genealogies of English studies in the twentieth century, despite having given the discipline many of its characteristic concerns and aversions.

Abstract (sommario):

As últimas estatísticas divulgadas pelo INE comprovam a importância estratégica do setor turístico para Portugal: em 2017, as receitas turísticas alcançaram os 15, 2 mil milhões de euros e o país consolida a 5.ª posição de entre os países com maior saldo da balança turística da União Europeia (INE, 2018). Apesar do contributo visível do setor, persistem, ainda, certas fragilidades que, segundo a Secretária de Estado do Turismo, Ana Mendes Godinho, estão diretamente relacionadas com a sazonalidade turística (Villalobos, 2017). Um dos objetivos principais da Estratégia Turismo 2027 é baixar o índice de sazonalidade dos atuais 36,5% para 33,5% até ao ano de 2027. Uma das estratégias do Turismo de Portugal recai sobre os eventos, como o Web Summit, de forma a destacar o país no âmbito dos congressos e eventos internacionais, capazes de amenizar a sazonalidade e, paralelamente, potenciar o investimento em Portugal (idem). O relatório de estágio tem como finalidade a conclusão do Mestrado em Gestão do Turismo e Hotelaria, na Universidade Europeia, e decorreu no Hotel Myriad by SANA Hotels, no Parque das Nações em Lisboa. O estágio teve a duração de 512 horas de setembro a dezembro de 2018 e desenrolou-se no Departamento Comercial. O Departamento Comercial é responsável por todas as atividades de promoção e vendas do Hotel Myriad, cuja incidência é orientada, em grande instância, para os segmentos corporate e Meetings Industry, cada vez mais relevantes e benéficos para os setores de Turismo e Hotelaria. O objetivo deste relatório é salientar a importância do Departamento Comercial quanto aos seus processos internos e de comunicação com os restantes departamentos e, inclusive, com os próprios clientes para a respetiva unidade hoteleira. Posteriormente, pretende-se sugerir melhorias quanto às dinâmicas relacionadas com o Departamento Comercial, tendo por base os conhecimentos adquiridos ao longo do Mestrado e do respetivo estágio.
The latest statistics released by INE prove the strategic importance of the tourism sector to Portugal: in 2017 tourism revenues reach 15,2 billion euros and the country consolidates the 5th position among the countries with the highest touristic balance of the European Union (INE, 2018). Despite the visible contribution of the sector, certain fragilities remained, namely the ones related with the seasonality of tourism (Villalobos, 2017). One of the main goals of the 2027 Tourism Strategy is to reduce the seasonality index from the current 36.5% to 33.5% by the year 2027. One of Turismo de Portugal’s strategies focuses on events such as the Web Summit, in order to highlight the country in the scope of international congresses and events, since these can mitigate the seasonal effects and, at the same time, to boost the investment in Portugal (idem). The internship report aims to complete the Master in Tourism and Hospitality Management at Universidade Europeia and was held at the Hotel Myriad by SANA Hotels, in Parque das Nações, Lisbon. The internship lasted 512 hours from September to December 2018 and took place in the Sales Department. The Sales Department is responsible for all the promotion and sales activities of the Hotel Myriad, whose targets are mainly the corporate and Meetings Industry segments, which are increasingly relevant and beneficial to the Tourism and Hospitality sectors. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance and knowledge of the Sales Department regarding its internal and communication processes within itself and with the other departments, including the clients themselves. Subsequently, improvements are suggested regarding the dynamics related to the Sales Department, based on the knowledge acquired during both the Master’s and the internship.

The drastic increase of patent filing and applications on genes for past thirty years has shown the increased importance gene related inventions. One primary motivation of setting up the patent system is to provide an incentive to invent by insuring the investors and prospect inventors a possible return or gain of the research cost. But this exclusivity offered by gene patents has produced some adverse consequences such as the inaccessibility to genes for research, increase cost in diagnostic cost or deprive the opportunity for second opinion for patients. These are some reasons why the issue on the patentability of human genes has attracted more concern since the instigation of the Myriad case. The plaintiffs of this case are mainly research groups and patients that have “negatively” affected by the gene patent and therefore, hope to invalidate the patent by challenging the gene sequence not a patentable subject matter. The uniqueness and the complexity of gene patents are related to the unidentified functions in genes or broad wordings used in claims. As a result, granting gene patents may stifle the future genetic research and development of diagnostic test such as parallel sequencing and whole genome sequencing. In addition, lack of clear standards when determining patentable subject matter is also another sophisticated issue that needs to be solved when granting gene patents. Thus, the major focus of this thesis is to analyze different standards used in the precedent cases in U.S. and compare these standards with the standards used in the Myriad case. Thus, hope to understand Federal Court’s recent view on this issue. Furthermore, discuss the implications of these new holdings on the public, investors and prospect inventors. Lastly, with different problems arise from the granting of gene patents and propose some possible solutions to help solving the current and future situation on gene patents.

Gene inventions, the upstream portion of biotechnology industry, play an important role in human disease prevention, detection, and treatment. Gene patenting ensures patentees’ investment and efforts on the research. However, it also raises lots of arguments, especially on the eligibility of an isolated gene. Should an isolated gene be considered as a human invention or it is merely a natural existing product? Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics was a case challenging the eligibility of gene patents in the United States. The Supreme Court overthrew the past decisions that recognized genes eligible for patent protection, and invalided Myriad’s isolated human gene patents. While considering the gene eligibility, it always came to the product of nature doctrine. However, this doctrine was inconsistently applied to the purified product or biomolecule patents. In addition, the “markedly different” standard adopted by the Supreme Court seems overlapping with other patent substantial elements, such as unobviousness, while determining an isolated gene an invention or discovery. In 2014, USPTO issued a memorandum for procedures of subject matter eligibility analysis in order to reflect Myriad’s decision. The present thesis introduces the details of the Myriad case, and the development and establishment of the product of nature doctrine. Moreover, the present thesis also exams the Supreme Court’s decision, questions it unsolved, and the USPTO memorandum. Finally, how many patents granted will be affected by this case? What can patent holders and applicants do to respond to such change? How does this case impact on public healthcare and biotechnology industry? The present thesis not only reviews the questions above, but also compares Taiwan and European Patent Acts and correspondence cases.

Abstract (sommario):

Decommissioning and reclamation of Saskatchewan uranium mines involves a number of "extremes" which range from the physical location and climatic conditions at the sites to the politics, perceptions and regulatory issues which surround the mineral itself. This paper discusses a number of these extremes and explores how each is being dealt with by operating mines, the regulatory agencies and the "impact communities". Uranium mining, because of the strategic nature of the mineral, falls under the jurisdiction of both the federal and provincial government. This results in a regime where all proposals, including decommissioning and reclamation plans, must be reviewed and approved by two separate and distinct agencies before licensing is provided. The regulatory regime is, in itself, an extreme. The tailings and waste rock piles present a second extreme in that, not only are they composed of the chemical and heavy metal components normally identified with a mining operation, but also contain a radioactive component which requires special consideration in all reclamation activities. Recently, operations have been approved which employ an in-pit pervious surround system for tailings management. This involves the use of a mined out pit which is modified to receive tailings and operated in a manner which considers the final reclamation strategy for the area. All uranium mines in Saskatchewan are located north of 57° latitude: in areas which experience short and cool growing seasons and extreme freeze-thaw cycles. This, combined with poor soils, does not allow for the implementation of traditional revegetation programs nor the easy management of tailings deposition. The physical location of the sites also presents an "extreme" when implementing monitoring programs required as follow-up to reclamation activities. Public involvement, including First Nations, in the review of monitoring and reclamation plans is being addressed in Saskatchewan by the establishment of a Northern Mines Monitoring Secretariat and regional Environmental Quality Committees. Through this means, valid impact community input will be a consideration without restricting industry's ability to make operating decisions or the ability of the regulators to do their jobs. In the Saskatchewan uranium mining industry, "Reclamation in Extreme Environments" is a given: however, the extremes are not limiting the ability of the industry to successfully achieve desired goals.

The strength of broadcasting media becomes weaker because of the attacks from TV, computers and Internet. Nowadays broadcasting programs contain few children’s radio dramas. However, people’s efforts and dedication still complete step by step the indispensable jigsaw puzzle in children’s literary history though the children’s literary stage has declined gradually. The Children’s Radio Dramas of the Children’s Studio by National Educational Broadcasting Station receiving authorization from Ministry of Education conveys principles about morality, lives, ethics and patriotism to contemporary children and also the script of radio dramas which fits and gets close to children is based on these principles. The thesis concludes that differences from children’s mental learning states and educational essentials cause the children’s disparity of perception toward the theme of radio dramas. It really relies on school’s ingenious design and assistance to continue the children’s radio dramas with resources on hand.

Abstract (sommario):

The hotel industry is an increasingly competitive sector given the growing demands of guests for a seamless and personalized hotel experience. Accordingly, winning customer loyalty is a fundamental step towards business success. One way to gain customer loyalty is to connect with the guest at a deeper level, and developing a committed Guest Relations Department is assumed to contribute to this objective. The purpose of this study is to explore the importance of the Guest Relations Team for the guest experience and to understand how this can lead to customer loyalty and increased revenue, using Myriad by SANA as a case study. To accomplish this purpose multiple data collection methods have been used, namely participant observation, semi-structured interviews to the hotel’s directors and staff, and netnography to perform an analysis of guest reviews in internal and external online platforms. Data were then content analysed according to the study’s predefined themes. In general, findings support the assumption that the Guest Relations is critical to the quality of the guest experience, and therefore that a Guest Relations Department and Team should be strongly supported by the hotel management. Moreover, it was found that there are improvement opportunities for Myriad by SANA in this particular organizational area. In the end, the research limitations are identified, and managerial recommendations are proposed, as well as directions for future research in the topic.

Abstract (sommario):

This dissertation focuses on a seventeenth-century (so-called) Malwa manuscript that illustrates the story of Krishna, and the copy manuscripts that were produced after it. It explores how the story is transformed in its incarnations as the vernacular text inscribed on the manuscript, the cycle of illustrations depicting that text, and then the copies made from what appear to be the initial illustrations. The claim is that narrative variations which find their way into these different embodiments should almost never be considered "mistakes," even when an act of misunderstanding seems to be clearly implied. Rather they are moments when the artist's or author's engagement with contemporary sectarian concerns, literary trends, artistic strategies and popular culture is manifest. The first three chapters of the dissertation are devoted to an analysis of text, illustration and copy illustration respectively, while the fourth presents the broader context in which such Krishna manuscripts were circulating.The underlying objective is to re-evaluate the conventional narrative of North Indian illustrated manuscripts. This is cast as the teleology of court styles where political history is used to decide important and influential ateliers. Visually compelling and historically important illustrated manuscripts such as the ones I study, but whose patronizing court is undecided, are largely ignored. This dissertation showcases an alternative, interdisciplinary approach that undertakes thorough visual and textual analyses alongside an examination of the broader socio-religious trends that impacted artistic production. It advocates that every illustrated manuscript should be studied individually, rather than as just a member of a predetermined stylistic group.

Abstract (sommario):

Uruguay’s public education system is at the center of a complex web of contradictory forces concerning contemporary migration to the country and migrant students. The country’s educators are part of a system that has historically interpellated them to assimilate migrant students around a problematic national imagination of homogeneity, modernity, and European heritage. These educators are also members of the larger Uruguayan society where discriminatory bias against recent migration to the country prevails, especially against migrants from the Global South. While Uruguay’s rights-based migration legislation and policy aim to promote the sociocultural integration of migrants, the measures taken thus far have overwhelmingly focused on migration management. In effect, the State has placed the responsibility for the sociocultural integration of migrants on the public education system. Specifically, the Council of Early Childhood and Primary Education created the Migrations Commission to promote inclusive education for the growing number of migrant children and youth arriving in the country’s public schools. The Migrations Commission implemented a professional development course to train educators on inclusion and interculturalidad to adequately serve migrant students and their families. However, limited data are available regarding the creation and implementation of this professional development and the impact it had on educators and their work with migrant students. To address these gaps, this study employed a qualitative methodology to examine the State’s efforts, through the Migrations Commission, to support inclusive education for migrant students and the impact of these efforts on educators. Data collection included the following: interviews with eight Migrations Commission members and affiliates, 17 educators who participated in the commission’s professional development, 10 educators from a school in which the principal had completed the professional development, and eight educators at another school who had no experience with the professional development; 15 instances of participant observation with educators in the aforementioned schools who had migrant students in their classrooms; and analysis of documents produced by and about the Migrations Commission. An analysis of the Migrations Commission’s discourse reveals the continued persistence of assimilation as a competing theoretical model for understanding the incorporation of migrant students and their families both in the country’s public education system and the larger social context. The presence of contradictory perspectives (inclusive education/interculturalidad versus assimilation) was also found among educators, both at the discursive level of pedagogical understanding and the pragmatic level of school practices. Therefore, this inquiry concludes that the State’s efforts to date have not been enough to effect significant and lasting change in the country’s education system. In addition, the study’s findings indicate that Uruguay’s educators, including those who participated in the Migrations Commission’s professional development that specifically focused on inclusion and interculturalidad, remain uncertain about how to implement inclusive and intercultural practices in their schools and classrooms and continue to be influenced by the education system’s historical mandate to assimilate migrant students into the national hegemonic culture as well as by stereotypes and prejudicial assumptions embraced by the larger society regarding migrants. Based on these findings, the study proposes policy recommendations to inform the Migrations Commission’s work to advance inclusive education for migrant students in Uruguay’s early childhood and primary education public schools and outlines future lines of research to contribute to the academic production on inclusion in education beyond the specific case of Uruguay.
