Aquesta Tesi doctoral té com a objectiu l’estudi del municipi constitucional que es configura durant el període històric conegut com el trienni liberal (1820-1823). L’estudi abasta no únicament la seva vessant doctrinal i legal, és a dir, el municipi teòric; sinó també la seva vessant real, és a dir, l’aplicació de la normativa jurídica centrant-nos en un cas concret: el municipi de Vic. Hem pretès analitzar la dicotomia municipi ideal-municipi real, en un període determinat, 1820-1823 i en un municipi concret, Vic. Només amb l’estudi de múltiples treballs de microhistòria podrem arribar a conèixer la realitat del que va succeir en el nostre país, més enllà del marc legal. Veure fins a quin punt s’ha produït un divorci existent entre dret oficial i el dret de la pràctica.The objective of this Doctoral Thesis is to study the constitutional municipality established during the historical period known as the “trienni liberal” (liberal three-year period) (1820-1823). The study focuses not only on the doctrinal and legal aspects, i. e. the theoretical municipality; but also on the real aspect, i. e. the implementation of the legal regulations in the specific case-study of the municipality of Vic. We have tried to analise the dicotomy ideal municipality-real municipality in a particular period of time (1820-1823) and in a specific municipality, Vic. Only through multiple micro-history studies it will be possible to determine exactly what happened in our country, beyond the legal framework. This will allow us to determine to what extent a divorce existed between the official law and the practice law.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
A començaments del segle XX, en una cojuntura de descomposició institucional, la vida política local de la ciutat de Vic, població catalana d'uns 13.000 habitatnts situada a l'interior de Catalunya, seu de la diòcesi episcopal més extensa del país i amb un important Seminari Conciliar, comença a evolucionar en la direcció d'una modernització que, al llarg dels anys, constatarà importants transformacions. En el context català, la nova política de masses descansarà sobre tres aspectes principals. En primer lloc, s'organitzaran partits capaços de mobilitzar els afiliats i els simpatitzants per aconseguir uns objectius concrets: fer una manifestació, guanyar unes eleccions, constituir una seu social, editar un periòdic. En la fase de transició cap a les organitzacions "mobilitzadores", trobarem partits polítics que combinen el carisma exagerat de determinats líders amb la potència d'unes bases que no es deixen arrossegar si els seus criteris no coincideixen amb els dels "homes forts"; els partits estaran a mig camí entre la influència dels notables i el poder decisori de la militància organitzada. En segon lloc, les urnes reflectiran, progressivament, les peocupacions i els interessos polítics de la majoria, deixant de banda les maniobres "electoreres" dels cacics, que tindran dificultats creixents per a organitzar els processos electorals d'acord amb els seus interessos. Finalment, les institucions locals deixaran de tenir "vida pròpia", al marge de les altrenatives polítiques que es produeixen a la societat; les discusssions i lluites polítiques, forjades en "l'espai públic", es traslladaran als ajuntaments. Tot i que aquestes transformacions (en l'àmbit dels partits, de les eleccions i dels ajuntaments) definiran nous estils de fer política, la modernització no es produirà de manera uniforme. A la Catalunya tradicional, de la que la ciutat de Vic forma part, els canvis en l'esfera pública tindran unes característiques pròpies, la qual cosa posarà en qüestió, d'altra banda, la imatge idealitzada d'una societat homogènia i avançada. A Vic, en un context que combina una presència institucional de l'Església catòlica especialment significada i el desenvolupament d'una important economia industrial, la vida pública estarà dirigida per forces burgeses que hegemonitzaran, davant la feblesa del moviment popular autòcton, el procés de transformació política. Aquestes èlits combatran, successivament i a partir del tombant de segle XX, les imposicions del "cunerisme" dinàstic, les estratègies de les direccions dels nous partits hegemònics (catalanistes, tradicionalistes) i l'expansió d'un moviment democràtic que reclama protagonisme polític per a les classes populars. Es tractarà de controlar els canvis polítics per tal que no es modifiquin els aspectes essencials de la dominació social, i política, que exerceix el grup dirigent local. Tanmateix, l'extensió de la "vida política nacional" farà que aquest "control polític" esdevingui cada cop més difícil i possibilitarà, en un marc de transformacions econòmiques i d'extrema conflictivitat social, que les forces populars es vagin incorporant a la vida pública de Vic, a pesar de les maniobres de l'èlit dirigent destinades a impedir-ho.
A partir de la crisi del 1917 s'accelerà la dissolució de la "vella política". La dictadura del general Primo de Rivera, que inicialment es presentà com una opció "regeneradora" capaç de resoldre els probles endèmics del país, evidencià la impossibilitat de continuar mantenint les masses allunyades de la vida pública espanyola. La proclamació de la República, que inaugurà un context políticoinstitucional radicalment diferent del que oferia la Restauració borbònica, possibilità que la societat espanyola disposés de dos requisits indispensables per a la convivència democràtica: la llibertat i el Parlament. A la ciutat de Vic, com a la resta de Catalunya, el nou règim republicà va permetre l'entrada de les classes populars en la política local, tot i que aquesta democratització no sempre fou favorable a les forces progressistes.
On the early XXth century, in an environment of institutional decomposition, local political life in the city of Vic, -a catalan community of 13.000 inhabitants of Catalunya, and also see of the bigger Episcopal dioceses if the country and an important conciliar seminar-, begin to change into a modernisation that, along the years, realised important transformations in the catalan context the new mass politics lied on three main aspects. First of all, the parties capable to mobilise affiliates and supporters organised themselves to reach concrete goals: prepare a demnstration, win the elections, create a social see, publish a paper. In this fase of transition into "mobilised" organisations, political parties can be found combining the grat charisma of some of the leaders and the poxer of a basis that doesn't let itself drag on if their believes do not agree with these of the "strong men"; the parties were in the way betwen the influence of the notables and the power of the organised militancy to take decisions. Secondly, the ballot boxes reflected, progressively, the worries and political interests of the majority, siding "electory" manoeuvres of the caciques who had increasing difficulties according to their interests. Finally, local institutions stopped having their "own life", apart of the political alternatives taking place in the society; political struggles and discussions, held in the public sphere, moved into the City Council.
Even these transdormations (in the area of parties, elections and city councils) defined new stiles of doing politics, modernisation didn't spread homogeneously. In the traditional Catalunya, from which Vic is part, the changes in the public sphere had their own characteristics, and this lead into question this ideal image of an homogeneous and advanced society. In Vic, where the particularly signified presence of the institutions of the catolic church was combined with the developing of an important industrial economy, public life was in hands og burgeois forces, against the weakness of the indigenous popular movement, to lead the process of political transformation. These elites fighted, successively after the crossing of the XXth century, the impositions of the "dynastic cunerism", the strategies of the leaderships of the new hegemonic parties (traditionalists catalanists) and the expansion of a democratic movement claiming for the leading role of popular classes. The need was to control the political changes in order not to modify the essential aspects of social, and political, domination practiced by the local leading group. Eventrough, the extension of the "national political life" made this "political control" more difficult and this, in the context of economical transformations and extreme social conflict, allowed popular forces to incorporate into public life of Vic, eventrogh the manoeuvres of the leading elite to avoid it.
After the crises of 1917 the dissolution of the old politics accelerated. The dictatorship of the General primo de Rivera, who inicially presented himself as an option of "regeneration" capable to solve the endemic problems of the country, showed an incapacity to keep the masses away from the Spanish political life. The proclamation of the Republic, as a strat of a political and constitutional context radically different from that of the Borbonic restauration, let the Spanish society enjoy the two requisites for the democractic coexistence: freedom and Parlamient. In the city of Vic, as in the rest of Catalonia, the new Republican regime permited the entrance of popular classes in the local politics, even this democratisation was not always favouring progressive forces.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Esta tesis se centra en el estudio del retablo durante los cincuenta años comprendidos entre 1680 y 1730, período en el que se consolida el barroco en Catalunya. Su estrecha vinculación con las ceremonias litúrgicas explica que la realización de retablos estuviera muy por encima de cualquier otra manifestación escultórica.
Se estudian los talleres escultóricos de Barcelona y Vic y dado que los escultores son bastante itinerantes puesto que reciben encargos de distintos lugares entre ellos de Girona y provincia, ha resultado un marco geográfico suficientemente representativo.
La escultura barroca catalana, desde la publicación de la importante obra de Cesar Martinell: Arquitectura i escultura barroques a Catalunya, no había sido estudiada con visión de conjunto y durante un período relativamente amplio como se hace ahora, aunque hay algunos estudios monográfiicos a los que se hace referencia en este estudio.
Los objetivos fundamentales de esta tesis han sido:
l. Estudiar, documental y artísticamente, los retablos conservados, aunque en algunos casos no se ha podido localizar la documentación y el estudio ha sido solamente artístico.
2. Esta documentación y también la localizada correspondiente a retablos desaparecidos, sobre todo durante la guerra civil del 36, ha permitido reconstruir en lo posible lo esculpido durante este período y, además, analizar los aspectos técnicos de la realización de las obras y las condiciones de trabajo de escultores y doradores. La mayor parte de estos aspectos se abordan por primera vez en un estudio sobre escultura barroca catalana.
De acuerdo con los objetivos, el estudio, para su análisis se ha dividido en cuatro partes: lª) Aspectos técnicos propiamente dichos de la realización del retablo, desde la traza del retablo hasta su asiento y peritación si procede, sin olvidar los económicos, precios y formas de pago. La 2ª con los aspectos sociales que va desde los gremios y talleres hasta los clientes. Los escultores consiguen Cofradía propia (R. Privilegio de Carlos II, 1680). Al tratarse de obras religiosas, los clientes eran mayoritariamente eclesiásticos y los laicos, en su mayoría, cofradías piadosas, gremios, y, en algún caso, corporaciones municipales. Entre los eclesiásticos destacan varios canónigos de la catedral de Girona y entre las cofradías las del Roser, en especial la del convento de Santa Catalina mártir de Barcelona. La 3ª con datos biográficos de los escultores y doradores estudiados y referencia a sus obras, conservadas y desaparecidas documentadas. El más destacable, Pau Costa (1664-1726), escultor de Vic, ya conocido, pero sobre el que se han corregido datos y obras y se han llevado a cabo bastantes aportaciones en cuanto a importantes obras suyas. La 4ª corresponde al análisis de las obras y se subdivide a su vez en cuatro partes: la primera trata de la descripción arquitectónica y escultórica del retablo; la segunda de su tipología; la tercera de su iconografía y la cuarta del estilo.
El estudio de la iconografía ha permitido afirmar que se sigue tanto la tradición, como las directrices de la Contrarreforma. A lo largo de estos cincuenta años se ha seguido la evolución del retablo barroco, empezando por retablos de un barroco incipiente, pasando a un barroco exuberante como el de Pau Costa, uno de los mejores escultores, entre los estudiados, a retablos que anuncian una moderación propia del barroco tardío. Y así hará Costa en su último retablo, el mayor de Cadaqués, que realiza en colaboración con Joan Torras, retablo en el que incumplen seguir la traza del retablo de Santa Clara de Vic, como se les pide en el contrato.
El apéndice documental incluye 325 documentos. La mayoría salen por primera vez a la luz pública, con la excepción de documentos que se citan en la bibliografía, publicados por J.Mª. Madurell, Pons Guri y Solà-Morales.This thesis researchs altarpieces, between 1680-1730, when the Baroque Art was consolidated in Catalonia. Their important connections with litugical ceremonies explains that the production of altarpieces was wellahead of any other sculptural expressions. In spite of the research of the sculptural works was about Barcelona and Yic workshops, the sculptors were quite a lot itinerants because they had orders of different places, like Girona and their province, and for that the geographical space has been enough representative. The main objectives ofthis thesis have been: 1. To study, documentary and artistically, the altarpieces survived, although in some cases it has not been possible to find the documents and the study has been only artistically. 2. These documents and also with documents that were founded belonging the altarpieces disappeard, above all during th Civil War of 36, it has allowed to reconstruct as it was able the sculptural altarpieces during this period and, besides, to examine the technical aspects and the work conditions ofthe sculptors and the gilders. Most of these aspects has been dealt now, for the first time, in relation with catalan baroque sculpture. According with the objectives of this research their study has been organized in four parts: lst.) The main technical aspects and economic conditions too; 2nd.) Social aspects, from guilds and workshops to patrons, who were mainly ecclesiastics. The laypeople were brotherhoods, guilds and, occasionally, municipal councils; 3rd.) Biographies of the sculptors and the gilders with mention of their survived and disappeared documented works. The most remarcable, Pau Costa (1664-1726), sculptor from Yic. He was known, but now it has been done new contributions about his important own altarpieces. 4th). The analysis of the altarpieces: l. architectonical and sculptorical descriptions of the altarpieces; 2. tipology; 3. iconography; 4. style. During these fifty years it has been possible to follow the baroque art development, from the altarpieces of the beginning baroque, after exuberant like the Pau Costa altarpieces to altarpieces that announced the late baroque, as the major of Cadaqués. The documental appendix includes 352 documents. The majority has been published now for the first time.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L'estudi a l'entorn de la fabrica Goula, que va produir miniatures, figures i jocs educatius a Vic entre els anys 1942 i 1996, posa en relació un cas industrial amb una proposta artística, que dóna lloc al treball de recerca Goula. Art, joc i memòria. D’una aventura industrial a una experiència artística, iniciat a partir de disposar d'una reserva de l'estoc de figures i peces de jocs de quan la fabrica va tancar.
La producció artística inicial va propiciar, posteriorment, un interès històric per l'orígen de les peces i de les vicissituds de la indústria que les va crear, impulsant una recerca transversal que s'ha nodrit de diferents fonts. La metodologia emprada ha tingut en compte la complementarietat entre la recerca i la practica artística, amb un clar benefci en el resultat fnal.
El treball s'ha organitzat amb un índex que delimita una sèrie de tasques d'investigació i de producció artística. Així, el situa en un punt que permet comprendre, des de diferents òptiques, la transcèndencia industrial i social de la fàbrica Goula. En primer lloc, la introducció conté uns ítems per contextualitzar el títol de l'estudi, la motivació, els objectius, la hipòtesi, la metodologia i les fonts d'informació.
L'índex continua amb una memòria històrica que explica l'orígen de la fàbrica en un petit pis de Vic, i com va progressar fins a arribar a la construcció de la fàbrica nova. També s'analitza la història de les torneries de fusta, en concret amb relació a Goula, ja que van ser el seu principal recurs industrial a l'hora de realitzar les seves produccions.
Més endavant figura l'apartat més extens i complex del treball, Producció Goula. Una aventura industrial, que fa una selecció de les figures i els jocs que l'empresa va produir al llarg de la seva trajectòria. S'esmenta igualment l'entorn gràfic i publicitari que dóna compte de l'imaginari iconogràfic que va promoure l'empresa.
Durant els anys de la primera fase, Goula va fabricar els Menajes, uns petits jocs en miniatura. Després van arribar les figures de molla, que van ser de les produccions mes emblemàtiques de l'empresa. l finalment van incorporar una maquina d'injecció de plàstic, amb la qual es feien figures que compartien espai amb les peces de fusta a les col·leccions Urbis.
Al mateix apartat de producció es presenten dos nous títols, «Noves figures» i «Jocs educatius». El primer aplega diferents famílies de noves figures realitzades amb fusta, tret d'alguns detalls que incorporaven com a complements. Es tracta de les figures del 1964 Familia Kordills, Serie Pilcolor, Wikingos, Girasoles Musicales i Huchas. Totes aquestes col·leccions es van produir enmig de la fase de consolidació de la indústria Goula, amb molt bones vendes nacionals i a l'estranger, sobretot en el cas dels Wikingos.
L'apartat «Jocs educatius» analitza l'important pas que va fer la indústria Goula en fabricar una gran diversitat de jocs educatius, principalment de fusta, en què el paradigma del fet lúdic es complementa amb la qüestió educativa i social dels inicis dels anys seixanta. S'inclouen aquí les diferents tipologies de jocs educatius fabricats per Goula: jocs de construcció, jocs de muntatge, jocs catalogats, jocs de butxaca, Chics, Mini Juegos, Kits, Classic's i Goulines.
Finalment, s'afegeixen aquí quatre epígrafs relacionats amb la temàtica: «Aproximacions didàctiques», que ajuda a comprendre els plantejaments educatius bàsics a partir dels quals es fabricaven els jocs; «Els concursos», per explicar com van discórrer els concursos nacionals, que van portar a la venda d'una nombrosa quantitat de productes per a escoles; «Centre Ocupacional Sant Tomàs», en que s'exposen els recursos cercats per atendre aquesta demanda, i, finalment, «El fi d'un anunci», un recull de textos per entreveure el debat sobre el joc educatiu i la seva didàctica a partir d'algun anunci i publicacions vinculades.
El punt següent, «Fabricants d’il·lusions: documental d’entrevistes a l’entorn de Goula», explica com i per que s'ha produït un vídeo documental basat en les entrevistes a les persones relacionades amb el context de Goula. S'hi especifica la metodologia emprada i es presenten els protagonistes, amb la finalitat d'ajudar a copsar les idees i les emocions que s'intuïen abans de fer-lo. En el marc de la recerca, ha estat una de les fonts d'informació més importants, i esdevé un testimoni excepcional de la història industrial.
L'explicació del treball realitzat en vídeo dóna peu al darrer apartat de les tasques relacionades amb la investigació, «Experiència artística: Goula. Projecte d'art, joc i memòria», un sumari de les peces artístiques dutes a terme conjuntament amb l'artista visual Jordi Lafon. Com s'ha especificat al principi de la introducció, aquestes obres s'han fet a partir d'elements i figures de l'estoc de la fabrica tancada. De la mateixa manera que el document videogràfic ha permès explorar la memòria oral de les persones vinculades a la indústria Goula, la producció artística ha complementat la recerca des d'una observació antropològica dels objectes, afegint-se a la investigació en un exercici tangible per conèixer l'origen i els usos de la major part de les peces, que resultaven inconnexes al principi i que al final han configurat el projecte dotant-lo de sentit.
Finalment, les conclusions tanquen el treball amb una sèrie de valoracions que reflexionen sobre com s'ha generat aquesta recerca, obrint canals d'investigació que han aportat dades per ajudar a recuperar una part de la memòria històrica de Goula. En aquest sentit, també es reflexiona sobre el projecte artístic desenvolupat en paral·lel, i sobre la manera com les dues metodologies de treball s'han complementat. La valoració dels aprenentatges i els resultats configura nous camins d'investigació, com ara els àmbits de la teoria i la pràctica, en els quals s'ha treballat.
Per concloure, la bibliografia es presenta íntegrament al final del treball. D'altra banda, els annexos s'adjunten en un document a part, en correspondència amb els apartats de l’estudi.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
La tesi analitza com les disposicions sorgides del Concili de Trento (1545-1563) fan evolucionar el sistema beneficial de l’Església catòlica. Ho fa a partir de quatre grans objectius interrelacionats: el primer estudiar l’organització i la composició de la comunitat de beneficiats de l’església de la Pietat de Vic. El segon analitzar l’encaix i l’abast en la societat vigatana del sistema beneficial de l’església catòlica a partir de les modificacions tridentines. El tercer conèixer fins a quin punt les disposicions conciliars modifiquen les relacions socials i, en cas afirmatiu, determinar si és un cas específic del bisbat de Vic o si és extrapolable a altres indrets. I el quart, estudiar la relació Economia-Església- Societat.
La tesi tracta de la comunitat de beneficiats de l’església de la Pietat de Vic entre l’any de la seva fundació (1613), i el de la translació de les relíquies dels Sants Màrtirs a l’altar major de l’església de la Pietat (1664). La comunitat de beneficiats de la Pietat de Vic la creen els beneficiats del Capbreu de la catedral com a instrument en la seva lluita amb el Capítol de canonges per tal d’esdevenir col·legi. L’estudi analitza com es funda la comunitat de beneficiats, qui en forma part, on s’ubica, les relacions amb altres col·lectius −com la institució episcopal, el capítol de canonges, el Capbreu de la catedral i el Consell Municipal−, com es consolida, com s’organitza, quina transcendència té en la vida econòmica de la ciutat i quin paper social desenvolupa.This thesis analyses how the dispositions that resulted from the Trento Council (1545-1563) evolved the beneficial system of the Catholic Church. This is done from four great interrelated objectives. The first one is studying the organization and the composition of the community of beneficiaries of the Vic’s church of Pietat. The second objective is to analyse how the Vic’s society is affected by the tridentin modifications in the Catholic Church’s beneficial system. The third is to know to what extent the dispositions of the council modify the social relationships and, if that is the case, determine if the case is specific to Vic’s bishopric or if it is extrapolatable to other places. The fourth objective is to study the relation between the Economy, the Church and the Society. The thesis is about the community of beneficiaries of the Vic’s church of Pietat between its foundation (1613) and the translocation of the Martyr Saints relics to the major altar of the church of Pietat (1664). The community of beneficiaries of the church of Pietat is created by the beneficiaries of Capbreu of the cathedral. This is done as an instrument in their fight with the Capitol of canons in order to become a college. This study analyses how the community of beneficiaries is founded, who forms part of it and where it is located. The study also analyses the relations with other collectives – such as the episcopal institution, the Capitol of canons, the Capbreu of the cathedral and the Municipal Council. Finally, the study investigates how it is consolidated, how it is organized and what transcendence it has in the city’s economic life and its social role.

O objetivo do trabalho é a implementação de características de adaptabilidade ao VIC, software livre de videoconferência sobre multicast. O VIC é um software para vídeo utilizado pelos principais frameworks de videoconferência em uso no mundo. O trabalho é focado em cima do VIC para o Access Grid, desenvolvido no Argone National Laboratory. Videoconferência é uma aplicação que consome muitos recursos da rede e do processamento da máquina, devido à grande quantidade de informações com que trabalha e à velocidade com que estas informações devem ser processadas e transmitidas. Pelas próprias características intrínsecas de uma transmissão de vídeo, não são admitidos atrasos. O trabalho analisa as principais tecnologias e o estado da arte em videoconferência, tanto na parte de transmissão quanto na parte de codificação e decodificação de sinais. As principais ferramentas em uso são apresentadas com suas características próprias. Os dois principais enfoques de adaptabilidade para transmissão e recepção de vídeo são expostos. O trabalho propõe um modelo misto, baseado nestes dois enfoques. A partir daí é exposto o novo algoritmo criado e os resultados de alguns testes realizados. Até hoje, apenas uma tentativa foi feita de acrescentar características de adaptabilidade à condição da rede ao VIC, porém essa não se encontra em uso. O trabalho propõe um novo algoritmo de adaptabilidade utilizando características das duas principais tendências atualmente em pesquisa.The goal of the work is to implement adaptability features to VIC, free software to deliver videoconferencing over multicast. VIC is a software to transmit video used by the main videoconferencing frameworks in use worldwide. The focus of the work is on VIC to Access Grid, developed at Argone National Laboratory. Videoconferencing is an application that uses too much resources of the network and processing power of the machine, due to the huge amount of information that it handles and due to the speed needed to process and transmit this information. For its own intrinsic properties, delays are not allowed in videoconferencing. The work analyses the main technologies and the state of the art in videoconferencing, both in transmission and in encoding and decoding of signals. The main tools in use are presented with their own characteristics. The two main approaches of adaptability for video transmission and reception are shown. The work proposes a new model, based on both approaches in a mixed way. The new algorithm created is shown together with the results of some tests made. Until today, only one try was made to add adaptability to the network conditions to VIC, but it is not in use. The work proposes a new adaptability algorithm using features of the two main trends in research today.

En aquesta tesi es valora l'impacte social que comporta per a la ciutat de Vic el bastiment d'un nou sistema educatiu implantat per l'estat liberal en el transcurs del segle XIX. L'estudi s'estructura a partir de: l'anàlisi del discurs i de les accions de les elits locals; de les actituds de les famílies; del sorgiment i consolidació dels i les mestres; i de l'escola com a espai educatiu: Vic esdevé un cas molt particular perquè és capital de bisbat però no de província; perquè exerceix una notable influència sobre el territori i perquè és zona de frontera entre el liberalisme i el carlisme. La tesi valora fins a quin punt tots els agents implicats en la qüestió educativa s'interconecten i com des de l'àmbit local es viuen les transformacions del segle XIX.The present thesis evaluates the social impact on the city of Vic caused by the implementation of a new education system introduced by the liberal state during the 19th century. The study is structured from: the analysis of the discourse and the actions by local elites; the attitudes of the families; the rise and consolidation of teachers; and the school as a space for education: Vic becomes a very particular case because it is the bishopric capital city but not the province capital; and because it has a notable influence on the territory and it is a border between liberalism and Carlism. The thesis assesses to what extent all agents implied in the education issue are interconnected and how the transformations of the 19th century are viewed from the local environment.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The first part of this thesis describes a synthetic strategythat provides all eight possible isomers of a given vic-aminoalcohol starting from vinylepoxides. The value of a generalroute is evident, as several isomers are needed ininvestigations of structure-activity relationships forpharmacologically active derivatives, and for optimizing theperformance of chiral ligands containing the amino alcoholmoiety.
Vinylepoxides, obtained in high enantiomeric excess, werering-opened both with inversion and retention ofstereochemistry, delivering two diastereomeric amino alcoholswith high regio- and stereoselectivity. Via ring-closure toaziridines and subsequent regioselective ring-opening withsuitable oxygen nucleophiles, the two remaining amino alcoholswere selectively achieved.
Within this study, two efficient protocols for theregioselective and stereospecific aminolysis of vinylepoxideshave been presented. Comparedto previous methods, theseprocedures use milder reaction conditions, shorter reactiontimes, generally give higher yields and are applicable to alarger set of substrates. Furthermore, the ring-closure ofvic-amino alcohols to the corresponding N-H vinylaziridines hasbeen investigated. Three routes have been found useful, whichone is preferred depends on substrate and scale.
In the second part of the thesis, the synthetic strategy isapplied on the synthesis of Sphingosine and its regio- andstereoisomers. Moreover, a rapid way of determining relativeconfiguration of vic-amino alcohols is described, which shouldbe of substantial use when amino alcohols are formed bydiastereoselective reactions.

This research paper studies the production of altarpieces in five of the ten archpriesthoods that make up the current Bishop of Vic (the Vic’s, Lluçanès’, Ter-Collsacabra’s, Guilleries-Congost’sand theMoianès’ ones) between 1568 and 1625 ca. Vic will be our socio-artistic center as it is the capital of the diocese and also the main focus of this area. The altarpieces produced during the foundational years of the Counterreformation will be studied through three main lines of work. First, the analysis of the typological evolution of the altarpieces; second, the identification of the different craftsman involved in its manufacture, and finally the approach to the social, labor and cultural context of the period. The study, focused on the archive research, contributes to the knowledge of the Catalan art scene of modern times through a specific space and timeline that until now had never been treated systematicallyEl present treball estudia la producció de retaules en cinc dels deu arxiprestats que conformen l'actual bisbat vigatà (el de Vic, el del Lluçanès, el del Ter-Collsacabra, el de les Guilleries-Congost i el del Moianès) entre 1568 i 1625 ca. Prenent com a centre socioartístic la ciutat de Vic, capital de la diòcesi i nucli motor d'aquesta àrea, estudiem la producció del gènere retaulístic al llarg dels anys fundacionals de la Contrareforma a partir de tres línies bàsiques de treball: l'anàlisi dels retaules i la seva evolució tipològica, la identificació dels diferents artífexs que intervenen en la seva fabricació i l'aproximació al context social, laboral i cultural de l'època.

Com 6 milhões de km2, a bacia Amazônica é o maior sistema hidrográfico do mundo, com descarga estimada de 209.000 m3 s-1, e a maior extensão contínua de floresta tropical. Porém, esta região é alvo de constantes ameaças, seja das pressões por desmatamento, ou por alterações climáticas. Neste contexto, compreender o funcionamento do sistema é essencial, seja para auxiliar na tomada de decisões ou estudos de cenários futuros. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar e adaptar o modelo hidrológico de grandes bacias Variable Infiltration Capacity Model (VIC v.4.0.5), para as condições tropicais. Foram utilizados dados de descarga, precipitação, temperatura e velocidade do vento, e informações sobre tipo de solo e cobertura vegetal, para simular o ciclo hidrológico em 6 grandes bacias situadas na Amazônia: Santo Antônio do Içá, Japurá, Juruá, Negro, Madeira e Purus. O modelo foi calibrado a partir das descargas mensais, de 1980 a 1990, e seu funcionamento foi verificado para o período de 1990 a 2006. Não foi possível simular o ciclo hidrológico para as bacias com grande contribuição dos Andes, Santo A. Içá e Japurá, uma vez que a estimativa de precipitação nestas regiões é subestimada. Nas outras bacias, o modelo foi capaz de simular corretamente as vazões dos rios, apesar de apresentar problemas na estimativa da evapotranspiração (ET). Foram constatados problemas na partição da ET em seus componentes, transpiração da vegetação e evaporação da água interceptada. Uma possível correção foi avaliada, resultando em uma distribuição mais correta da ET em seus componentes porém, tal modificação resultou em redução da ET média simulada. Uma nova versão do modelo (v.4.1) acaba de ser lançada. Dentre as melhorias, destacam-se modificações na maneira como a ET é calculada, que visa corrigir os problemas aqui relatados. No entanto, tal versão ainda não foi avaliada nas condições tropicaisThe Amazon river basin is the largest fluvial system in the world, discharging 209,000 m3 s-1 to the ocean. It also sustains the largest continuous tropical forest system. However, the region is under constant pressure from deforestation and climate change. For such reasons, its crucial to understand how the hydrological cycle functions. Such tools can be used for evaluation of future scenarios and guide decision making. The Variable infiltration Capacity Model (VIC) was evaluated and adapted to tropical conditions. Temperature, precipitation, wind speed, soil type and land cover maps were used to simulate the hydrological cycle in 2 sub-basins inside the Amazon: Santo Antônio do Içá, Japurá, Juruá, Negro, Madeira e Purus, covering the period from 1980 to 2006. The simulation was not possible for basins with large drainage area located in the Andes (Santo A. Içá and Japurá), due to underestimation of the precipitation. For the other basins, simulated discharge agreed with observed records, even though evapotranspiration (ET) estimates showed some problems. The ET partitioning in its components, transpiration and canopy evaporation, showed severe discrepancies. A correction was applied to the model, fixing the partitioning problem but it resulted in reduction of estimate ET. A new version of the model (v.4.1) has just been released, with changes in the way ET is estimated. However, this new version has not yet been tested in the Amazon

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Despite the authoritative and very explicit directions from the Vatican in 1903, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne successfully resisted the demands for a major reform of liturgical Church music for 35 years. This thesis will examine the reasons for this strong and effective resistance to the demands of the Holy See and show that despite being complex and interrelated these reasons can be summarised under two fundamental headings. The thesis will examine the broad spectrum of music performed in the Melbourne Archdiocese, but because of the limited availability of information and the prime importance of the two principal churches of the Archdiocese, it shall concentrate on St. Patrick's Cathedral and on St. Francis Church. The thesis shall also examine in detail the documents of the Holy See concerning liturgical music which were relevant to musical practice in Melbourne. Special attention is drawn to the influential Motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini (1903) issued by Pope Pius X. The time span of this thesis covers the 95 years from March 1843 when the first music was sung in Melbourne's only Catholic church to 1938 when Archbishop Daniel Mannix ordered the reforms to liturgical music as demanded by the Vatican. The thesis shall demonstrate that the resistance to the reform of liturgical music in the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne was due to the two following influences: the fact that the new freedom and wealth that the immigrant Irish community of the Archdiocese of Melbourne experienced enabled them to establish churches and liturgies whose grandeur and artistic excellence symbolized their success in establishing a major new social and cultural status in their new home. Church music was one of the great manifestations of this and as an integral part of their new significance and sense of achievement, it was to be jealously guarded.;the second was the matter of authority and the independence of the Catholic bishops from the dictates and interference of the Vatican authorities. These Irish-born bishops were trained in an historical milieu in Ireland and Europe which fostered a fierce pride in the value of autonomy from external and alien authority. In this they were given a great degree of protection by the isolation of Australia and its distance from outside authority. In this Archbishops Carr and Mannix both proved to be strongly independent leaders who proved to be most reluctant to automatically implement reforms imposed by the Vatican. It will be shown that only in the fourth decade of the twentieth century was Episcopal authority finally brought to bear to make reforms to liturgical music a reality in the Catholic Church in Melbourne.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Dans un contexte où le paysage est devenu une préoccupation sociale au-delà de la seule question esthétique des lieux de vie, cette thèse cherche à comprendre comment le paysage participe d'un sentiment d'appartenance à un territoire. Le paysage est envisagé comme un paradigme de médiation entre le territoire et la société qui l'habite. Pour mener à bien cette recherche, nous avons retenu la région du Vic-Bilh située dans le Sud-Ouest de la France, aux marges des départements des Pyrénées-Atlantiques, des Hautes-Pyrénées et du Gers. Ce territoire de confins au caractère rural affirmé, qui abrite une zone AOC de production viticole en plein renouveau, ne présente toutefois pas de paysages répertoriés comme remarquables, malgré une variété paysagère singulière et typée. Par ailleurs, le Vic-Bihl -historiquement le "Vieux-Pays" ou Vecus Vetullus -n'a pas une existence politico-administrative reconnue, accentuant en ce sens la difficulté à saisir un sentiment d'appartenance. L'intérêt de ce travail doctoral porte sur l'appréhension de la relation paysage-identité à travers la mise en place d'un modèle qui convoque et articule les notions de territoire, de territorialisation et de territorialité pour saisir et éclairer sous divers prismes cette relation. Afin d'analyser le rôle du paysage comme support et vecteur d'une identité collective et d'une identité individuelle, nous avons mobilisé différents outils tels que l'imagerie touristique et l'oeuvre littéraire pour appréhender le registre de l'identité partagée. Combiné à celles-ci, l'entretien semi-directif nous a permis de recueillir le discours d'habitants dans la perspective d'éclairer les paysages de l'identité exprimée et de dévoiler une identité paysagère éprouvéeIn a context where the landscape has become of major social concern, beyond the solely esthetic question of places of life, this thesis seeks to understand how landscape can create a feeling of membership of a territory. The landscape is considered as a paradigm of mediation between the territory and the society that inhabits it. To carry out this research, we retained the area of Vic-Bihl, located in south-western France, at the limits of the departments Pyrénées-Atlantiques, Hautes-Pyrénées and Gers. This border territory with a maked rural character, which accomodates an AOC (Regulated Wine of Origin) wine production zone in full revival, nevertheless does not present landscapes considered as spectacular, in spite of a singular and typified landscape variety. In addition, the Vic-Bihl -historically the "Old-Country" or Vecus Vetullus -does not own a recognized political-administrative existence, thus arousing the difficulté of seizing a membership feeling. The interest of this doctoral work concerns the grasp of the landscape-identity relationship through the installation of a model that invites to and articulates the concepts of territory, territorialisation and territoriality in order to "decomplexify" this relation. As for to analyse this role of the landscape as and aid and a vector of both a collective and an individual identity, we have mobilized various tools such as tourism imagery and literary work to approach the register of shared identity. Combined with those tools, semi-directing discussion enabled us to collect the talk of inhabitants with the objective to clarify the landscapes of expressed identity and to reveal a well-tried landscape identity

Aquesta tesi doctoral es proposa analitzar les bandositats del segle XV a la ciutat de Vic per comprovar com l’ús de la violència, en forma de lluita de bàndols, podia ésser una de les vies d’accés a les estructures de poder municipal i, per tant, una via d’ascens social i econòmic per part d’una noblesa rural que havia vist entrar en crisi els seus patrimonis a partir de mitjan s. XIV. El segle XV va suposar un xoc entre les reminiscències de les estructures feudals i les noves fórmules de govern municipal, afavorint que sorgissin intenses lluites per defensar els interessos propis dels senyors jurisdiccionals versus l’oligarquia urbana. Un cop analitzada la imbricació entre poder i violència, el treball es divideix seguint dos aspectes principals d’anàlisi. En un primer lloc, es detalla l’evolució i la configuració de les estructures del poder municipal vigatanes, amb la particularitat de la divisió de la ciutat en dues partides sota dos senyors jurisdiccionals diferents. En segon lloc, segueix l’anàlisi dels diferents episodis de bandositats urbanes al llarg de tot el segle seguit de l’estudi de cas sobre una de les famílies vigatanes més vinculada en aquestes lluites —els Altarriba—, cosa que permet indagar sobre les motivacions i les maneres d’actuar de les faccions. Finalment, es comparen els períodes més intensos de les bandositats amb els moments de canvis en les estructures municipals. En conjunt, aquesta tesi vol comprovar si l’ascens social i econòmic per mitjà de la violència detectat en els senyors bandolers del s. XVI pot tenir un origen en el segle precedent.The aim of the current doctoral thesis is to analyse banditry groups in Vic in the fifteenth century to prove how the use of violence, in its form of struggle between the different sides, could represent one of the ways to access municipal power. Therefore, the use of violence also meant economic and social advancement for a part of the rural nobility who saw how its heritage entered a crisis period in the middle of the fourteenth century. The fifteenth century represented a great clash between the reminiscence of the feudal structures and the new forms of municipal government, enabling the emergence of intense struggles to defend the interests of jurisdictional lords versus the urban oligarchy. Once the imbrication between power and violence has been analysed, the project is divided into two main aspects of analysis. On the one hand, it details the evolution and configuration of the municipal power structures in Vic, a town characterised by its division into two parts under the two different jurisdictional lords in the area. On the other hand, the project continues with the analysis of the urban banditry groups throughout all the century and a case study focused on one of the main families in Vic in relation to these struggles, the Altarriba family, which has allowed us to enquire about the motivations and the ways in which the different sides proceeded. Finally, it compares the most intense periods of the banditry groups and the times of change in the municipal structures. Overall, this thesis aims at verifying if the process of obtaining economic and social advancements through violence, used by lords bandoliers in the sixteenth century, could have its origin in the preceding century.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’objectiu que ens hem proposat és el de respondre a la pregunta: hi ha un taller català del metall als segles XII i XIII? I, en cas afirmatiu, respondre a una segona doble qüestió: primerament, si va sorgir de forma espontània o va ser la continuació d’un taller precedent, i segonament, quina és la hipotètica relació de les seves obres amb les de l’Œuvre de Limoges / Taller de Llemotges?
La documentació dels segles XII i XIII que hem treballat ens ha fet percebre la magnitud dels registres de vasos litúrgics de metall preuat i metall de les esglésies catalanes d’època comtal i reial. Es tracta d’un cos extraordinari que presentem en forma de quadres. Aquesta ingent obra ens va plantejar ben aviat una pregunta relacionada amb els possibles orígens en els que poguéssim establir les bases del taller que anomenem taller català que treballa el metall d’època alt medieval. Des d’un primer moment vàrem intuir que era necessari recular la cronologia dels documents als segles IX-XI per poder fixar les bases del segles XII i XIII.
El tractament aprofundit de l’orfebreria medieval catalana dels segles XII i XIII ha donat com a resultat la definició que hem fet del taller català en una doble vessant. La primera que des dels precedents fins a final del segle XIII el denominem genèricament «taller català que treballa el metall» d’època alt medieval. La segona és el taller català que definim com el que treballa «a la manera de Llemotges», aquest taller s’inicià a finals del segle XII, fructificà al XIII i s’extingí al XIV.
En el nostre estudi ens hem basat tant en la documentació com en l’obra que en els segles XII i XIII han estat el nostre referent. El taller català que treballa el metall preuat, l’orfebreria, té molt poca obra representativa. El gran nombre d’obra litúrgica que hem extret de la documentació ens hauria aportat tota la riquesa d’aquest taller si s’hagués conservat. Per altra banda, és deixen vasos d’argent, anells, estris d’animals i d’altres objectes per a fer fondre per a una determinada obra, això indica que, en una contrada no massa llunyana, hi ha un taller que possibilita aquest procés.
Per altra banda, el taller català que treballa el metall (fosa) ha estat una gran sorpresa per la informació que ens ha aportat una de les tipologies, la de l’encenser amb un total de cinquanta cinc exemplars. Això ens ha permès classificar-los i agrupar-los per tal de donar-los-hi fonament dins cada grup que hem acotat. Aquest taller català del metall s’ha de reivindicar com un taller extraordinari per la durada en el temps, alhora que reafirmar-lo com un taller creador de repertoris i formes. Un taller que no treballa aïlladament sinó que té en compte, aplica o assumeix models coneguts per la il·lustració de manuscrits, per la pintura mural o de taula i l’escultura catalana sense descartar, per suposat, la influència que per via forana en tingui coneixença.
El segon aspecte del taller català és el que fructificà a partir de l’arribada de les obres del Taller de Llemotges, obres que l’influïren decisivament i de les que va sorgir, un «taller català a la manera de Llemotges». No va ser un taller creador sinó més aviat seguidor (de Llemotges).
L’obra més significativa quant a la creació d’aquest taller és el copó; però no es menys cert que els esmalts que s’apliquen al copó no sorgeixen per generació espontània, sinó que és un procés llarg, treballat i experimentat des de finals del segle XII fins al XIV. Aquest taller va produir obra que considerem d’ús local.The vast body of documentation we have studied from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries have helped us understand the magnitude of the existing records on liturgical vessels in precious metals (gold and silver) and other metals (bronze, copper, tin, etc.) of the Catalan churches.Their study has enabled us to define the Catalan workshop in two ways, based on the types of pieces it worked on.First, we call it generically “Catalan metal workshop" (c. X-XIII). In defining it as such, we have based our analysis on the documentation, the remaining works and the artistic comparison. The Catalan workshop that worked on precious metals has little representative work. Had it been preserved, the large number of liturgical pieces that we found referenced in the documentation would have represented a huge wealth. In some documentation references silver vessels and other objects left to melt for a silver piece, indicates that there must have been a workshop close in distance that allowed the process.Discovering the Catalan metal workshop has been extremely helpful in that it has provided information on one of the types of works, the censer. A workshop that does not work in isolation but takes into account known models of the Catalan illustration of manuscripts, mural or table painting, or sculpture without discarding, of course, the influence of foreign styles.Second, we have also defined a Catalan workshop as working "the Limoges way" (c. XII-XIV). This workshop developed at the end of the twelfth century and lasted until the fourteenth century and bore fruit after the arrival of the works of the L’Œuvre de Limoges. These works had a decisive influence on the Catalan workshop from which developed, "a Catalan workshop in the way of Limoges." This workshop was less creative as it followed the Limoges style but had its one personality.
La documentación de los siglos XII y XIII que hemos trabajado nos ha hecho percibir la magnitud de registros de vasos litúrgicos de metal noble y metal de las iglesias catalanas de época condal y real. Su estudio ha permitido la definición que hemos hecho del taller catalán en un doble sentido. Por un lado, lo denominamos genéricamente «taller catalán que trabaja el metal» (s. X-XIII). Para ello nos hemos basado en la documentación, en la obra conservada y en la comparativa. El taller catalán que trabaja el metal noble, la orfebrería, tiene escasa obra representativa. El gran número de obra litúrgica que hemos extraído de la documentación nos habría aportado toda la riqueza de este taller en caso de conservarse.Se legan objetos de plata para fundirlos y destinarlos a nuevas obras (litúrgicas) lo que indica que en un lugar no excesivamente lejano hay un taller que lo posibilita.El taller catalán que trabaja el metal nos ha sorprendido por la información que ha aportado una de las tipologías, la del incensario. Hay que reivindicar este taller como un taller extraordinario, un taller que no trabaja aisladamente sino que tiene en cuenta modelos conocidos por la ilustración de manuscritos, la pintura mural o de tabla así como la escultura catalana, sin descartar, por supuesto, la influencia foránea de la que pudiera tener conocimiento.Por otro lado, el taller catalán que definimos como el que «trabaja a la manera de Limoges», este taller se inició a finales del siglo XII, fructificó en el XIII y se extinguió en el XIV; fue a partir de la llegada de l’Œuvre de Limoges, obra que influyó decisivamente en este taller que no fue un taller creador sino más bien seguidor, con rasgos específicos que lo caracterizan.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Groundwater is a major source of water in the western US. However, there are limited recharge estimates in this region due to the complexity of recharge processes and the challenge of direct observations. Land surface Models (LSMs) could be a valuable tool for estimating current recharge and projecting changes due to future climate change. In this study, simulations of three LSMs (Noah, Mosaic and VIC) obtained from the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS-2) are used to estimate potential recharge in the western US. Modeled recharge was compared with published recharge estimates for several aquifers in the region. Annual recharge to precipitation ratios across the study basins varied from 0.01% to 15% for Mosaic, 3.2% to 42% for Noah, and 6.7% to 31.8% for VIC simulations. Mosaic consistently underestimates recharge across all basins. Noah captures recharge reasonably well in wetter basins, but overestimates it in drier basins. VIC slightly overestimates recharge in drier basins and slightly underestimates it for wetter basins. While the average annual recharge values vary among the models, the models were consistent in identifying high and low recharge areas in the region. Models agree in seasonality of recharge occurring dominantly during the spring across the region. Overall, our results highlight that LSMs have the potential to capture the spatial and temporal patterns as well as seasonality of recharge at large scales. Therefore, LSMs (specifically VIC and Noah) can be used as a tool for estimating future recharge in data limited regions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The late nineteenth century was a period of tumultuous social change throughout
the English-speaking world. Nowhere was this more apparent then in Melbourne, the
principal city in the British colony of Victoria. Melbourne experienced the best and the
worst of the era. It enjoyed rapid economic growth and an unsurpassed level of general
prosperity. However the depression in the following decade exposed and deepened cracks
in the economic system which had been present for a long time.
This thesis uses a wide variety of aggregate and individual-level data to chart the
life courses of young Melburnians as they made they way to adulthood. It examines their
schooling. It measures their entry into the work force, and investigates the types of jobs
that were available and the consequences of boys’ and girls’ employment decisions. It
considers what factors were important in determining the ages at which men and women
married.
In the early 1870s laws were passed to make elementary schooling compulsory and
universal, yet children’s schooling practices were impervious to such interventions.
Enrolment and attendance stayed at their former levels and in many ways parents and
children circumvented or disregarded the laws to suit their own needs.
Families were less successful in influencing the labour market. Mechanization and
specialization went hand-in-hand with a deskilling of jobs. Youths of both sexes were
forced into dead-end employment which taught them little or no skills and sentenced
them to a life of low wages and frequent unemployment.
The median age at marriage changed very little during the period, after controlling
for changes in the age structure of the unmarried population. Most women faced no
attractive alternatives to marriage. Consequently there was a relatively narrow dispersion
in the ages of brides and only slight differences amongst women from different social
classes. Marriage for young men was a more accurate reflection of the their perceptions of
their present and prospective economic circumstances. At the furthest extreme, migrants
who were working in semi-skilled and unskilled jobs were disillusioned and married very
late.
The unifying theme to the thesis is how the transitions to adulthood reflected the
strains of late nineteenth-century family life and in particular the economic relationship between parents and children. Chapter 5 investigates marital fertility decline which is
another example of how families coped. Melbourne began the fertility transition in the
1880s. Two unique features were that young married women were at the forefront of that
demographic change and a large contribution to lower fertility rates came from longer
intervals between births. The ideological importance of separate public and private
spheres and on maintaining ‘respectability' are argued to be at the root of the fertility
decline and on the progression from childhood to marriage in late nineteenth-century
Melbourne.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis provides an account of the responses of the tobacco growers of Myrtleford to the closure of the domestic tobacco industry, the growth of an illegal tobacco (known as chop-chop) market and the role that regulatory and policy measures have played in the history of the industry. Within the framework of neoliberalism, Individuals are perceived as having the capability and potential to be self-sufficient and 'enterprising' in creating their capital. In the case of Myrtleford tobacco growers, a neoliberal model fails to recognise the extent to which human agency can be constrained by structural forces. Such constraint not only prevented the tobacco growers from becoming economically self-sufficient but also harmed their capacity to rebuild their lives. This thesis brings together sociological and regulatory literatures to examine the history of the regulatory policy arrangements underpinning the domestic tobacco industry. Pierre Bourdieu's theory of field and habitus is applied to frame the research with various theories operating within it. The field of tobacco growing is a complex social environment in which government, the tobacco manufacturers, the anti-tobacco movement and the tobacco growers struggle for resources using different types of capital to maintain their power. The administration, change and removal of regulation and policies reveal transformations and power struggles for different types of capital between actors in the field of the domestic tobacco industry. The thesis employs a narrative approach to demonstrate how regulation and agricultural policy have affected the lives of tobacco growers. The development of the chop-chop market is analysed through the narratives of growers. These narratives show how different market layers are developed that represent different behaviours and relationships between buyers and sellers. Engagement in different layers involved the growers and the broader community in using their social capital and reinventing their habitus in the field of chop-chop tobacco. This model sets up a further analysis using a motivational postures framework to understand why people became active participants in the chop-chop market. An integrative analysis of market response and motivational behaviour of a collective illuminates the processes that lead to the growers' disempowerment, which is often neglected in the development and implementation of regulation and policy programs. It goes beyond formal analyses constrained by what the law says and what economic modeling predicts will occur to reveal the complex problems that arise within communities and how new social arrangements create social distance between a collective and the authorities. The last part of the thesis takes a psycho-social approach to show how collectives manage regulatory and policy changes through focusing on the justice of respect. To demonstrate the potential of a justice of respect framework, a critical evaluation of processes and outcomes of the growers' Co-operative identifies how a culture of disrespect developed that failed growers and further exacerbated the growers' disempowerment. The research concludes by arguing that if those holding economic and political power adopted a justice of respect approach, they might enable collectives to maintain their dignity and resilience in times of policy change, and have a better chance of earning trust and thereby eliciting cooperation in the future.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Hidden within the Melbourne suburb of Lalor, lies an intriguing story. Named to honour the leader of the Eureka Rebellion, the Peter Lalor Homebuilding Co-operative Society was formed after World War II during a chronic housing shortage. It was composed mainly of ex-servicemen and their families who were driven by a self-help ethos and a determination to see working-class men and women fulfil the great Australian dream of owning their own homes. Further, the members aspired to create a new co-operative way ofliving dedicated 'to those who died to make this a better world.' Subsequent residents from new immigrant groups shared some similar dreams, but transformed the social landscape. The timescale of the thesis - 1946 to 2004 - provides the opportunity to trace the sweeping changes that occurred in this suburban setting. This thesis analyses the co-operative and situates its genesis within the international and Australian co-operative movements, the 'garden city' movement, the Australian labour movement and Catholic social doctrine. The members adapted these ideas into their own unique experiment. Prosopography has provided the methodology for understanding this remarkable community: home by home, family by family, street by street. New archival material has emerged on the Victorian co-operative movement and, particularly, from the Peter Lalor membership through the provision of co-operative and personal records, and written and oral testimony. I argue that the co-operative provided affordable housing for a community of 800 people, and the members gained enhanced control over their lives through the creation of social capital - a civic space between the individual and the state. By this means they were ahead of their time in addressing a democratic deficit. The individual ethnic communities of Lalor subsequently formed what I have termed 'parallel communities'. They co-existed in Lalor, not necessarily through hostility, but parallel nonetheless. Each created its own institutions of social capital but collectively they lacked cohesion. Ultimately there are lessons for the 21st century as we face the further challenges of affordable housing and community development. Apart from these conclusions, the history of Lalor has been resurrected from the footnotes of history. We meet some inspirational leaders, whose biographies have been written for the first time, but ultimately this is the history of ordinary men and women co-operating in the creation of a community. Some of their stories are told here; they are worth telling.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
and-atmosphere interactions are an important component of climate, especially in semi-arid regions such as the Southern Great Plains. Interactions between soil moisture and vegetation modulate land-atmosphere coupling and thus represent a crucial, but not well understood climate factor. This study examines soil moisture-vegetation health interactions using both in situ observations and land surface model simulations. For the observational study, soil moisture is taken from 20 in situ Oklahoma Mesonet soil moisture observation sites, and vegetation health is represented by MODIS-derived normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). For the modeling study, the variable infiltration capacity (VIC) hydrologic model is employed with two different vegetation parameterizations. The first is the model default vegetation parameter which is interannually-invariant leaf area index (LAI). This parameter is referred to as the control parameter. The second is MODIS-derived LAI, which captures interannual differences in vegetation health. Soil moisture simulations from both vegetation parameterizations are compared and the VIC-simulated soil moisture’s sensitivity to the vegetation parameters is also examined.
Correlation results from the observation study suggest that soil moisture-vegetation interactions in Oklahoma are inconsistent, varying both in space and time. The modeling results show that using a vegetation parameterization that does not capture interannual vegetation health variability could potentially result in dry or wet biased soil moisture simulations.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis explores a new approach to writing the environmental history of settler societies through an explicit focus on ecological processes, as distinct from the more commonly used landscape or geographic units. In this case, I focus upon the hydrological cycle and four key processes that constitute it. The processes are precipitation; flow above and below ground in rivers, creeks and aquifers; stored or still water in lakes, ponds and wetlands; and evaporation.
The work examines the impact of the ecological processes that make up the hydrological cycle within the context of the daily life of colonial settlers in the catchment of the Gippsland Lakes in south eastern Victoria, Australia, from the commencement of white colonization in the late 1830s up to the turn of the century. This time period was selected because by 1900, the principal changes which laid the foundation for the Lakes seriously compromised ecological health in the late 1980s and early 1990s were all in place.
Inspired by gestalt psychology, it examines the interaction of those processes with settler knowledge of biophysical processes, their religious and cultural beliefs, economic and political forces at work in their world, work and leisure time, their language and expressions, values and aspirations for themselves and their families. Each of these aspects informed their perceptions of the ecology around them, and particularly, their perception of the significance of water. The findings confirms the critical importance of cultural values, generated through myth, story and action, to understanding environmental changes. Colonial Gippslanders were committed to: a belief in progress, or alternately, banishing wilderness; a belief that the world was made by God for human benefit; and the desire for certainty versus the actual uncertainty in hydrological conditions.
Collectively, colonial Gippslanders believed in progress as much as they believed in God, believed themselves largely separate from nature and plumped for certainty. They set to re-plumbing the catchment to eliminate, as far as possible within their technical capabilities, the natural variations within the hydrological cycle. The tools which they applied to achieve this radical re{u00AD}plumbing included the application of engineering knowledge, supported by increasing amounts of technology and machinery and by sophisticated socio{u00AD}political lobbying.

ASTRACT Two-component signal transduction system (TCS) is the major signal transduction and regulation system in bacteria. Cellular functions such as metabolic activity, stress responses, drug resistance, competence, and virulence all are regulated by TCS. The VicRK (also known as YycFG) TCS, encoded by vic operon, is widely identified in Gram-positive bacteria, and its impact in cell wall biogenesis, and virulence gene expression has been demonstrated in various streptococcal species, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. Recent study in our laboratory revealed that a vicRKX operon is present in Streptococcus salivarius and the expression of this operon has been confirmed by RT-PCR. To analyze the expression of vic operon in S. salivarius, a promoter-chloramphenicol resistance gene fusion (pvic-cat) was constructed and integrated into the lacZ locus in this study. The promoter activities in cells grown at different conditions were examined by measuring CAT activity. The expression of pvic was regulated by both growth stages and culture pH, with lower expression in cells grown in the stationary stages and under acidic pH. Transcription start site was located 62 bp 5’ to the ATG. An extended -10 promoter sequence was found in the corresponding region and a regulator binding sequence proposed for S. pneumoniae VicR was located at -132 bp. Furthermore, the amount of vicR-specific message, measured by RT-PCR, was up-regulated in the vicK-deficient strain comparing to the wild-type strain grown under the same condition. These results suggested that the expression of pvic was negatively autoregulated by phosphorylated VicR. Functional analysis indicated that an intact vicK, but not the vicX, was essential for optimal oxidative stress responses and biofilm formation. Thus, it is likely that Vic TCS is involved in a global regulatory circuit in S. salivarius.

Cerca il testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Lakes and wetlands cover a large portion of the earth’s surface and play a crucial role in hydrology. They provide permanent and temporary storage for water within the landscape allowing for greater infiltration and evaporation along with a reduction in peak flooding events. Lakes and wetlands also provide many other non-hydrological benefits such as their ability to improve water quality and provide wildlife and fisheries habitat. Despite their known benefits, wetland destruction has been a prominent issue for many years. This study quantifies the hydrologic effects of lakes and wetlands by introducing a parametrization method for hydrologic model simulations in the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) domain. Lake profiles were created based on the geospatial lake depth-area relationship through interpolation of known lake depths and areas throughout the domain. Wetlands were parametrized based on topographic wetness index (TWI) calculated using high-resolution DEM imagery. Wetland profiles were created using a binning technique along with the DEM and land use classifications. The Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) macroscale hydrologic grid-based model and its associated lake and wetland algorithm were used to quantify the effects of lakes and wetlands on streamflow. Profiles were generated for every corresponding VIC grid cell in the NLDAS domain, but for this study two watersheds, the Buttahatchee River in Mississippi and the Black River in North Carolina, were selected to test the parametrization and quantify the impact of lakes and wetlands on watershed hydrology. The Buttahatchee River watershed contains 6.6% lakes and wetlands, which were predominantly clustered near the stream channel, and the Black River watershed contained 19.2% lakes and wetlands which were spread out across the entirety of the watershed. Simulated daily streamflow with and without the lake and wetland algorithm activated was used to evaluate impacts on flood frequency as well as components of the water balance. Flood magnitude decreased due to the presence of lakes and wetlands. This decrease was 5.8% and 29.6% for a 10-year return period flood for the Buttahatchee River and the Black River sites, respectively. Mean annual flowrate decreased significantly as a result of lakes and wetlands indicating storage of water in the lakes and wetlands allowed for a greater degree of evapotranspiration. There were 1.6% and 10.9% decreases in average streamflow rates as well as corresponding 0.3% and 4.1% increases in annual evapotranspiration in the Buttahatchee River and Black River watersheds, respectively. While lakes and wetlands reduce peak flood events and decrease average streamflow rates through increased storage and evapotranspiration, the magnitude of these impacts varies based on the quantity and distribution of lakes and wetlands in the watershed as well as the climate and vegetation present.

Icduygu, Ahmet. "Migrant as a transitional category : Turkish migrants in Melbourne, Australia". Phd thesis, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/1885/113871.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since the early 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Turks have gone abroad, particularly to West
Germany, to sell their labour power mainly under the so-called guestworker scheme. Only a small
proportion (an estimated 1 per cent) have migrated to Australia, doing so in a context which was
considered — by the Australian government, although not by many Turkish migrants — to be
permanent settlement. In the late 1980s, the number of Turkish migrants and their children in
Australia totalled around 35,000. This study examines and provides a comprehensive perspective
on the migratory flow from Turkey to Australia. It addresses various aspects of the migration and
settlement history of first-generation Turks living in Melbourne, concentrating on the questions of
how they experienced their migration to, and settlement in, Australia, and how they were
incorporated into the life of this country, both inside and outside their workplaces, and what
perceptions and attitudes they had towards their experiences.
Whilst acknowledging the complexity of a social process such as incorporation of immigrants into
a receiving country, the methodological approach taken in this study is two-pronged: it combines
‘qualitative’ and ‘quantitative’ levels of analysis, based on the data collected by the author in
1987, resulting from five months fieldwork in Melbourne, gathering structured and unstructured indepth
interviews with 276 Turkish migrants. The qualitative work, a ‘case-study’ approach,
explores the migration to Australia from the immigrants’ viewpoint analysing the way their lives
had been dramatically affected by the whole migratory process. The quantitative analysis
demonstrates the socio-economic, cultural and demographic changes emerging in the life cycle of
these individual migrants and their families during the pre- and post-migratory periods, and
associates these changes with the migrants’ structural and cultural adaptation patterns.
This study emphasizes that the 1967 migration agreement between the Australian and Turkish
governments marked a central point in the history of Turkish immigration, not only making
possible the flow of Turkish migrants into Australia but also structurally affecting the successive stages of the migratory flow from Turkey and the successive stages of settlement and
incorporation processes of the arriving migrants over time. Substantial Turkish immigration
occurred only between 1968 and 1974 when the movement was largely through the assisted
migration program based on the 1967 agreement. After the termination of the agreement in 1974,
the migratory flow from Turkey slowed down, and it took the form of chain migration and family
reunion — with the exception of the arrivals of university graduates who started to migrate on
their own in the 1980s. Since Australia drew settlers from the guestworker-oriented pool formed in
the 1960s and 1970s in Turkey, the majority of early migrants, unlike their later counterparts, had,
on arrival, no intention of ‘permanent settlement’. They initially saw themselves as temporary
workers and planned to return home; however many of them changed their original plans or failed
to realize these plans, and either never returned or repeatedly came back to Australia. Thus
Turkish settlement in Australia was characterized by a transition from temporary migration to
unintended settlement.
Although the immigrants’ initial intention of temporary migration had an important and continuing
impact on the process by which these migrants became incorporated into various social contexts
in Australia, the historically determined structure of Turkish immigration and settlement in
Australia, independently of migrants’ settlement intention, had a capacity and function of its own
in placing the immigrants into certain social and economic relations in the heterogeneous,
stratified, and pluralistic social formation of the receiving country. While Australia has became a
‘new home’ for many Turks, the position of the immigrants in their ‘new’ social setting has been
largely a dialectic outcome of the peculiar characteristics of these migrants themselves, of the
society they entered, of the society they left, and of the larger context of the international
migration they were involved in.

yesBackground: A program of Compassionate City or Community (CC) has been designed and developed in the City of Vic (43,964 habitants, Barcelona, Spain), based on The Compassionate City Charter and other public health literature and experiments, with the joint leadership of the City Council and the Chair of Palliative Care at the University of Vic, and as an expansion of a comprehensive and integrated system of palliative care. Methods: The program started with an assessment of needs of the city as identified by 48 social organizations with a foundational workshop and a semi-structured survey. After this assessment, the mission, vision, values and aims were agreed. The main aims consisted in promoting changes in social and cultural attitudes toward the end of life (EoL) and providing integrated care for people with advanced chronic conditions and social needs such as loneliness, poverty, low access to services at home, or conflict. The selected slogan was “Living with meaning, dignity, and support the end of life”. Results: The program for the first year has included 19 activities (cultural, training, informative, and mixed) and followed by 1,260 attendants, and the training activities were followed by 147 people. Local and regional sponsors are funding the initiative. After a year, a quantitative and qualitative evaluation was performed, showing high participation and satisfaction of the attendants and organizations. In the second year, the care for particular vulnerable people defined as targets (EoL and social factors described before) will start with volunteers with more organizations to join the project. Conclusions: The key identified factors for the initial success are: the strong joint leadership between social department of the Council and the University; clear aims and targets; high participation rates; the limited size of the geographical context; which allowed high participation and recognition; and the commitment to evaluate results.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The mating system and dispersal patterns of a species can profoundly affect fine-scale spatial genetic structure. Conversely, fine-scale spatial genetic patterns can have important ramifications for kin cooperation and mate choice. In my PhD, I explored these connections between social system dynamics and spatial genetic patterns using a combination of empirical research and modelling techniques. My empirical research centred on a field study of the mountain brushtail possum in the central highlands of Victoria, Australia. This semi-social, arboreal marsupial shelters in tree hollows, alone or shared, during the day and interacts at night. I used proximity logger collars to document the social interactions of this elusive species. By combining these data with microsatellite markers and mitochondrial sequences, I found that maternal lineages are a better predictor of interactions between individuals than bi-parental relatedness. This is likely to represent, in part, mother-offspring associations and suggests that kin recognition may occur through familial cues. Furthermore, the duration of nocturnal interactions were longer between females than males, which may be attributed to an interaction between kin selection and male-biased dispersal. Sex-biased natal dispersal can facilitate inbreeding avoidance by spatially separating kin. However, I showed through spatially explicit simulation modelling that the spatial clustering of kin cannot be prevented by sex-biased dispersal when dispersal distances are limited or a species has overlapping generations. Consistent with these simulations, spatial genetic autocorrelation analysis revealed that in mountain brushtail possums opposite-sexed kin remain in proximity, despite short range male-biased dispersal. To investigate how mountain brushtail possums respond to this inbreeding risk, I explored two inbreeding avoidance mechanisms; mate choice and mate-fidelity. Genetic parentage assignment analyses suggested that this species actively avoids kin during mate choice. Additionally, using probability modelling, I determined that individuals are more genetically monogamous than expected by chance. This high level of genetic monogamy may be due to social pair-bonding, which can be characterised by frequent interactions and overlapping home ranges. In addition to species-level processes, community-level interactions can influence social system dynamics. For instance, pathogen transmission can potentially constrain social interactions. To understand transmission dynamics associated with mountain brushtail possum behaviour, I used commensal Escherichia coli strains as a model system. I found high levels of temporal variability in E. coli community structure within host individuals, suggesting that strain sharing between individuals likely represents contemporary transmission. Additionally, within and among host E. coli strain abundance were correlated and predicted by the same aspects of the strains' functional genotype. Finally, I showed that strain sharing was better explained by social interactions than spatial proximity, suggesting that host-to-host contact maybe an important transmission route in this study system. Furthermore, I revealed that nocturnal interactions were more strongly associated with strain sharing than den sharing. Together, my results highlight how a multidisciplinary approach can provide detailed insights into the factors shaping a species social system dynamics. Further, they show how recent advances in animal tracking and surveillance technology combined with new genetic techniques can allow us to understand the socio-biology of elusive species.

Rapidly growing outlying communities, exasperated congestion, complex traffic challenges - coupled with the role of vehicle carbon emissions in climate change - have led to the need for long-term sustainable transportation planning in the Greater Victoria of British Columbia region. Using an exploratory mixed methods approach that employed a literature review, an on-line survey, interviews and the partaking of a personal transportation journey, this study examined the views of Greater Victoria residents regarding the implementation of a Victoria - Green Road Inner Duct (VIC-G.R.I.D.) network of roads as a way to address regional sustainable transportation needs. The study showed positive support from the residents with an approval rating of 81%, and described barriers, motivators and concerns identified by the residents (i.e., potential increase in congestion, funding, and resistance to change). The study results will inform policy development and planning of publicly and politically acceptable transportation strategies in the Greater Victoria region.
