Snellgrove, Miriam Louise. "House Camphill built : identity, self and other". Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/8259.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis concerns the process of everyday identity formation within Camphill settings. Specifically the research investigates the ways that Camphill places construct their identity around notions of deviance, repetitive practice, material spaces and the social self. Using a broad ethnographic methodology the thesis examines the ways that making, verifying and ascribing such identity claims occur and in what situations and contexts. The research further contributes to debates around the particular ways that social research constructs an understanding of the social world and argues that knowledge of normative rules and social practices are crucial skills that determine our ability to function within society. Chapter One reviews the genesis of Camphill as residential settings for children and adults with disabilities. Discussions around the textual representations of Camphills’ seventy year history are critiqued. The three fieldsites and the particular challenges present in undertaking multi-sited and ethically challenging research are discussed. Chapter Two discusses the practical, epistemological and conceptual lens through which the research is devised. Further the process of ‘doing’ ethnography shapes the researcher’s identity as much as deviance, repetitive practice and the social self are implicated within Camphill’s identity work. The discussion argues for socially positioned ethnographies that reflect the multiple and competing social worlds of researcher, text and other. Chapter Three examines the particular ways that deviant identity is lived and experienced. It suggests that deviance is an important part of socialisation as it constructs social norms and rules, even if those norms are largely imagined. A key point is that non-conformity is person specific and engaged in differently across the fieldsites. Chapter Four examines the role materiality plays in the formation of Camphill identity work. It suggests that engagement with material things is done as part of wider ongoing socialisation processes. Chapter Five argues that Camphills’ highly structured everyday life is a crucial means for wider group and individual socialisation, with the expectation that such knowledge enables successful participation within society. The conclusion considers Camphill identity work and theorises its connections to collective experiences and structural processes.

Howes, Rosanne. "The temple within : house as symbol of God, self, and body". Thesis, McGill University, 1995. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=22543.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This thesis examines the house as symbol of God, self, and body. This is a way to explore the expression of individuality both incorporated in, and invoked by the middle-class single family home, particularly for women. The theme, "the temple within," is intended to create a conceptual framework for the identification of activities which give the elements of the house meaning for the occupants. The elements of house, garden, hearth, entrance, windows, attic/stair/cellar, and walls and spaces, are identified through the analysis of primary sources. These are the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Competition Series stock plans from 1947 to 1963, as well as two suburban homes from the Carlington neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the appropriateness of these symbols of home as a vehicle for women's identity of self.

This master thesis describes the design and construction of a prototype for the Moon House project. The goal was to develop a structural concept which ultimately will allow a 2 × 2.5 × 3 m3 house to be deployed on the surface of the Moon as an art installation. A 1 to 5 scale model was built and tested. Provided is background information on lightweight and inflatable technology for space applications. This is then reviewed together with earlier work related to the Moon House project in order to come up with a feasible design. The structure consists of a frame made out of plain-weave glass fiber tape springs. These are joined with plastic connectors and the frame is covered in a thin rip-stop polyester film. Elastic folds and pin-jointed hinges allow the structure to be folded, thus reducing its stowed volume. Deployment of the house is achieved with a combination of pressurization and elastically stored strain energy in the tape springs from folding of the structure. The tape springs have been tailored using specific lay-up and geometry to achieve an efficient folding scheme. The final structure was designed in Solid Edge and connectors were 3D-printed in plastic material. Deployment tests have been performed with partial success. Points of improvement have been identified and recommendations are made for future work.Detta examensarbete behandlar design och konstruktion av en prototyp för Månhusprojektet. Målet var att ta fram ett strukturellt koncept för en stuga med dimensionerna 2 × 2, 5 × 3 m3 som skall kunna veckla ut sig själv på månens yta. En modell i skala 1 till 5 byggdes och testades. Rapporten innehåller bakgrundsinformation om olika konstruktioner, uppblåsbara och utfällningsbara, för rymdapplikationer. Detta utvärderas sedan, tillsammans med tidigare arbete relaterat till projektet, mot kravspecifikationer, f¨or att ta fram en ny design. Resultatet ¨ar en struktur bestående av s.k. “Tape springs” tillverkade i vävd glasfiber. De olika elementen kopplas samman med skarvar av plast. Detta utgör en ram, som sedan kläds med tunn rip-stop polyester. Elastiska veck kombinerat med mekaniska gångjärn gör att strukturen kan packas ihop till en mindre volym. Utfällning av strukturen möjliggörs med en kombination av trycksättning och elastiskt lagrad energi från den påtvingade vikningen. Genom att variera laminatens egenskaper och geometri fås strukturella element som ger ett effektivt vikningsschema. Strukturen togs fram med hjälp av Solid Edge ST6 och plastskarvarna 3D-printades. Test av utfällningen har gjorts med delvis lyckade resultat. Problem och potentiella förbättringar har identifierats och rekommendationer ges för fortsatt utveckling av konceptet.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The purpose of this study was to determine and understand the variables
affecting the revival of the draft horse industry in the United States. A qualitative study
was conducted using 31 purposively (Lincoln and Guba, 1985) selected draft horse
industry participants who were drawn from three case studies, conducted in East Texas,
Russia (Siberia), and Northern Indiana. Structured and semi-structured interviews were
utilized. Major findings emerged with this research showed that the culture of
practicality, inventiveness, and risk taking has allowed communities of individuals to
achieve financial success where others have been forced to abandon their businesses and
seek other sources of livelihood.
Some of the findings stood alone with no seeming connection to the other
findings. Other findings appeared to be intertwined with one another. All of the
emerging findings contributed to the renewal and engagement of individuals in the draft
horse industry revival. The findings are deliberately not listed in any particular order.
The scope of the study did not include a method to determine whichfinding or series of findings preceded the others. The major findings to emerge from this
study are as follows.
Most of the participants in the revival were or are middle aged men and women.
This finding melds well with another finding that determined the draft horse business
was the second, third, or fourth career of the participants in this study. Many of the
participants operate their businesses in rural non-farm locations. Owners and publishers
of trade magazines played a pivotal role in this industry revival.
Geography and international connections played a role. The Amish communities
across the U.S. played a pivotal role in keeping relic technologies alive and maintaining
seed stock for the revival of the draft breeds. Specific markets for horses and equipment
have been carved out by many of the participants. Self-directed learning and andragogy
were exhibited by almost all of the participants. The role of university and extension
personnel in this revival was essentially non-existent.

The aim of this project is to nd the optimal size battery for an already installed PV system in a family house in Southern Sweden. First, the existing system is modelled and validated. Then a new model including a battery is built. In this model it is assumed that the aim of the battery is to maximize the self-consumption of the house. A sensitivity analysis is performed in order to study the inuence of the battery capacity on the electricity uxes between the house and the grid. The protability of the project is then investigated, considering the current tari schemes for thehouse and for the "average" Swedish house. Eventually the possibility of applying price-dependent control strategies to the battery is investigated. The primary conclusion is that a battery installation is not protable for the studied house whether the incentives provided by the Swedish government are considered or not. Yet a subsidized installation would be protable for a house subject to the average Swedish electricity price. Another conclusion is that the current hourly volatility in the electricity price is not high enough to make reasonable the use of price dependent battery control strategies. Their use would lead to better economical performance, with respect to the simplest battery control strategy, in case of increased volatility.Malet av det har projektet ar att hitta batteri med den basta storleken for en existerande solcellssystem i en villa i Sodra Sverige.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Gender roles are a tool used by society to set acceptable boundaries and ideals upon the sexes, and during the early part of the twentieth century in America those gender boundaries began to blur. As a result of the 19th Amendment, men must have felt their decreasing importance because women were no longer solely dependent upon them, and gender roles shifted as woman began to occupy territory that was traditionally held by men. The “New Woman" entered the workforce, and refused to accept traditional female gender conventions. In response to the “New Woman," Theodore Roosevelt and other leading males sought to reinforce the ideal of the male as the protector and provider. As woman took on characteristics commonly associated with men, men now had to grapple with a changing gender identity that often left them confused and frustrated. Willa Sibert Cather's life reflects the fluctuating gender conventions of early twentieth century America as she struggled to define her gender identity. In her youth, Cather chopped her hair and dressed like a boy. She also spent time dissecting frogs and called herself “William Cather, M.D." Cather's cross-dressing reveals her unconventional core and her desire to define herself regardless of societal expectations. Cather also had many close relationships with woman, and these close relationships have led many scholars to label her a lesbian. Cather, however, left us a mystery surrounding her gender preference because she never openly called herself a lesbian. Cather's supposed lesbianism is useful because it reveals the ambiguity of her personality. Cather is paradox because she sought for self-definition, but she also suffered from an identity crisis. By using the shifting nature of gender roles in the America during the early decades of the twentieth century and Cather's confused and unconventional life as a backdrop, I would argue that My Ántonia (1918), The Professor's House (1925), and “Neighbor Rosicky (1932)" reveal the consequences of gender roles. Cather's novels and short story should be analyzed for her interest in exploring male reaction to prescribed gender roles which, ultimately, reveals Cather's attitude towards the existence of gender conventions. Cather advocated for a more fluid and balance way of defining male and female roles. Cather's novel My Ántonia and The Professor's House reveal the consequences of gender roles because both Jim and Professor St. Peter are frustrated, fearful, unsatisfied, ambiguous, and unhappy with the roles that they have been playing. In sharp contrast to these two novels is Cather's delightful short story entitled “Neighbor Rosicky." In this short story Cather presents a protagonist who is whole and balanced. “Neighbor Rosicky" is Cather's statement regarding the importance and beauty of self-definition. Ultimately, her literature can be viewed as a rejection of both male and female gender qualities which demonstrates that Cather and her fiction cannot be reduced to an identity agenda.

Rawoot, Bilqis. "Becoming “so terribly altered”: Reading transformations of the self in “The Fall of the House of Usher”". Master's thesis, Faculty of Humanities, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/33909.
Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
In this thesis, I try to situate the effects of the text, specifically on the reader, by looking at ideas of transformation. My primary investigation is to determine the extent of the effect on the reader and the reader's reality, and if it is possible to alter the reader by inducing a transformation. I argue that transformation is possible as a “becoming”. Transformation depends on the text's reflection and verisimilitude to reality, which aids introspection and the consequent transitioning toward a new identity. I confront these concerns via close analysis of Edgar Allan Poe's “The Fall of the House of Usher”. Whereas critics have read Poe while considering authorial intent and biography, and while limiting effect to emotion, I argue that the reader determines meaning and effect which can impose on identity. This inquiry deals directly with the interaction between the text and the reader, while acknowledging language as the common ground and means of communicating meaning and effect between them. Arnold van Gennep's theory of liminality provides a framework for transition, which I apply to character and reader becoming. And, it explains the interstitial space between the textual realm and the reader's reality. My close analysis of Poe's characters elucidates these tasks as I engage the text as a reflection of the reader's development, and as the narrator's interactions with the Usher siblings mimics the reader's relation to the text. Mikhail Bakhtin's polyphonic theory depicts the text as life-like and appropriate for this exchange. I consider metafiction for its ability to dissemble illusory distinctions between the text and reality, and as it induces consciousness in the reader. I have also placed Poe in conversation with Julia Kristeva for her insights into the psychoanalytic process of abjection, and as she illustrates the revision of identity. Much of this project deals with finding unity and reconciling the inherently contradictory elements of human existence. Ultimately, I consider how the process of textual interaction contributes to potential reader “becoming”. And, I argue that becoming and identity are intimately dependent on selfconsciousness of the vastness of human potential, as well as the dissolution of the very borders designed to limit and make sense of that vastness.

Margaret of Austria (1480--1530) ruled the Burgundian Netherlands for over twenty years and was an integral member of the joint Houses of Burgundy and Habsburg. She was also one of the most prolific patrons and collectors of her time. This dissertation examines Margaret's patronage in relation to her contemporary environment with the aim of extending and deepening our understanding of her commissions within the dynamics and discourses of the culture of the early sixteenth century.Margaret of Austria was a highly conscientious patron and the art and architecture she commissioned intimately reflected her life. Chapter one introduces the historical facts of Margaret's life as well as issues affecting her patronage. Chapter two considers the monastery of Brou in Savoy as Margaret's architectural autobiography. Drawing on documentation and the building itself, it examines Margaret's involvement in Brou's creation. Chapter three looks at several of Margaret's other commissions such as her residence, the Palace of Savoy in Mechelen and the Convent of the Annunciate in Bruges. This chapter considers the potential goals of these projects, as ambitious as founding a capital city, embellishing her authority as a ruler, or attaining sainthood. Chapter four turns to Margaret's self-portraits, that is, images she commissioned of herself. Created in several mediums for a variety of audiences (including herself), Margaret's self-portraits portray her as everything from a widow to a goddess to a saint. Each image was designed for a specific audience and demonstrates Margaret's understanding of the function of images in negotiating a place in the contemporary world and history. Chapter five presents Margaret's view of herself as one of the rulers of a New World Empire with her pioneering collection of artefacts from the Americas. The conclusion considers the unique image of Margaret of Austria that emerges from her commissions.

The Construction Industry is one of the most impactful activities form de environmental point of view. The mankind lack of housing in this newmillennium is about 600 million. It is necessary to make architecture and engineering more sustainable. In Brazil, the housing program Minha Casa Minha Vida (My House, My Life) provides for the construction of about 3 million of houses. Thinking about to reduce the impacts of this program, CAIXA ECONÔMICA FEDERAL has established a certification called SELO CASA AZUL (Seal Blue House). To achieve this certification there are a number of requirements that the entrepreneur / builder must meet to have a more sustainable housing. This work shows a literature review about the actual criteria of sustainability, certification concerning sustainable building, and design decisions that can minimize the environmental impact of the constructions. The CAIXA s critéria to obtain the Seal Blue House are showed. Also a diagnostic of houses that are being built in the municipality of Paulista - PE, in this program, is presented. Two building typologies of houses were analyzed. It was found that they meet a few criteria required by the SELO CASA AZUL (Seal Blue House). Then, based on architectural design, we followed the guidelines of the CAIXAS s Guide of Environmental Sustainability and proposed changes so that it meets the criteria to pass the Seal. The results show that it is possible, even in popular constructions, to obtain the certification and contribute to sustainability.
A Indústria da Construção Civil é uma das atividades mais impactantes do ponto de vista ambiental. A necessidade da humanidade nesse novo milênio é da ordem de 600 milhões de moradias. Necessário se faz procurar tornar as arquitetura e engenharia mais sustentáveis. No Brasil, o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida prevê a construção de cerca de 3 milhões de moradias. Pensando em contribuir para reduzir os impactos desse programa, seu principal financiador, a CAIXA ECONÔMICA FEDERAL, instituiu uma certificação denominada SELO CASA AZUL. Para se conseguir essa certificação há uma série de requisitos que o empreendedor/construtor deve obedecer para edificar uma habitação mais sustentável. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre critérios de sustentabilidade, certificações atuais com relação à sustentabilidade das construções, e decisões do projeto de arquitetura que minimizam os impactos ambientais das edificações. Indica os critérios da CAIXA para as construções habitacionais obterem a certificação do Selo Casa Azul. Também é feito um diagnóstico das edificações que estão sendo construídas na Região Metropolitana do Recife, particularmente em Paulista- PE, pertencentes ao Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida. Analisam-se duas tipologias construtivas do citado programa em construção naquele município, uma tratando de habitações térreas e outra com primeiro andar. Verificou-se que elas atendem a poucos critérios exigidos pelo SELO CAIXA AZUL. Então, com base nos projetos arquitetônicos, foram seguidas as diretrizes do Guia CAIXA de Sustentabilidade Ambiental e propostas alterações de forma a que ele passasse a obedecer aos critérios do selo. Os resultados mostram que é possível, mesmo em construções populares, conseguir-se a certificação e contribuir para a sustentabilidade no campo da habitação.

This Dissertation examines self-fashioning processes in prefaces and introductions by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Dickens, and Henry James. The general argument is that in these texts authorial identity is constructed through spatial metaphors and authorial figures of ideological and cultural resonance. The readings proposed connect these spatial metaphors and authorial figures - organized according to the groups 'house,' 'world,' and 'theater' - to the specific historical context and to ideologies circulating in the nineteenth-century. The main theoretical perspectives that support these readings are genre criticism, Greenblattian new historicism, and literary history. Greenblatt's concept of 'self-fashioning', in particular, constitutes an important operative device that enables the perception of authorship as a category that blurs the boundaries between social life and 'performance' (or between the 'authorial' and the 'actorial' modes). The authors studied appear, in this light, both as biographical subjects and participants in a 'theatre of images;' and the prefaces that 'house' these authors gain renewed interest for their historical relevance and imaginative quality.Esta tese examina processos de auto-modelamento em prefácios e introduções de Nathaniel Hawthorne, Charles Dickens e Henry James. O argumento geral é o de que a identidade autoral nesses textos é construída por meio de metáforas espaciais e figuras autorais de ressonância ideológica e cultural. As leituras propostas ligam essas metáforas espaciais e figuras autorais - organizadas de acordo com os grupos'casa', 'mundo' e 'teatro' -ao contexto histórico específico e às ideologias em circulação no século XIX. As principais perspectivas teóricas que apóiam essas leituras são a crítica dos gêneros literários, o novo historicismo greenblattiano, e a história literária. O conceito de auto-modelamento de Greenblatt, em particular, constitui um importante dispositivo de análise que viabiliza a percepção da autoria como uma categoria que confunde as fronteiras entre vida social e 'performance', (ou entre os modos 'autoral' e 'performativo'). Os autores estudados aparecem, sob essa luz, como sujeitos biográficos e partícipes de um 'teatro de imagens'; e os prefácios que 'abrigam' esse autores ganham interesse renovado por sua relevância histórica e qualidade imaginativa.

Within the prefabrication industry, Kit homes have had a long history of success within the twentieth century. Kit homes are houses whose components are manufactured using a panelized or pre-cut prefabrication system, are numbered, packaged and shipped to the building site for erection. Among the different strategies in purchasing a manufactured house, buying a house as a kit has a great potential for self-help assembly. Since about one third of the cost of construction is labor costs, the author has investigated the option of self-help building using Kit homes, to eliminate the labor cost and thus further reduce the construction cost.In order to study the Kit home potential and costs when bought from, and assembled by the manufacturer, four manufacturers of prefabricated homes who offer Kit homes were visited. In order to study the Kit home potential and costs when assembled by the buyer, the building process of a self-helper was researched and documented. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The core of House M.D. is its assertion that current Western civilization lives in a perpetual state of dissonance: we desire to have the rawness of emotion but we can only handle this rawness when we combine it with intellect, even if that intellect lies to us. This is the ontological paradox that the televisual text grapples with. Through the use of archetypal analysis and allegorical interpretation, this thesis reveals that dissonance and its relationship to contemporary Western society. Through House M.D. we realize that there are structures to the paradoxes that we live and there are paradoxes in our structures. Dr. House is a trickster in an allegory of American capitalist culture. The trickster metaphorically pulls away from society the rules protecting cultural values. Dr. House and House M.D. participate in revealing the cultural disruption of the current moment of Western society. While playing on the genres of detective fiction and hospital dramas, House M.D. is an existential allegory exposing the paradox that we can never be free while still seeking our own self-interest.

In Conakry, the capital city of Guinea, more than two thirds of the housing stock consists of self-built housing. Self-built housing is the result of uncoordinated choices of households who buy land, decide the kind of houses and on-site facilities to build and implement their projects often without compliance with land use management policies. As a result this type of housing causes considerable environmental problems that affect the city population as a whole. Unless Conakry local authorities, i.e. communes develop capacities to design and carry out technically and financially appropriate strategies to address and improve households individual actions, the city's environmental conditions will continue to deteriorate. On the basis of lessons learned from theories and successful experiences of self-built housing improvement, the present creative project suggests general and specific guidelines, that commune officials can employ to develop the said capacities and generate substantial changes of housing conditions in Conakry.Department of Urban Planning

L'objectif de cette thèse était d'analyser les interactions entre le dos du cheval et la selle dans les conditions de l'exercice sportif et de développer, à partir de ces connaissances nouvelles, une gamme de selles adaptées au cheval en mouvement et à son cavalier. L'originalité de cette thèse était entre autre de mesurer les mouvements de la colonne vertébrale dans la région thoracique située sous la selle. Un protocole original de mesure biomécanique des interactions entre le dos et la selle a été mis en place et validé. Ce protocole couplait différents matériels (tapis capteur de pression, cinématique 2D, capteur de force d'étrier et centrales de mesure inertielle) synchronisés et miniaturisés. Grâce à ce protocole, il a été possible de quantifier le mouvement de la colonne vertébrale du cheval, les pressions au cours de l'effort et l'effet du cavalier en comparant des selles dites « standard » avec de nouveaux prototypes de « panneaux » permettant de modifier la portance de la selle sur le dos du cheval. Les résultats de ces études ont permis de mettre en évidence l'impact du cavalier sur l'amplitude des mouvements du dos du cheval et sur sa locomotion au cours du trot et de démontrer qu'une selle dont la portance est modifiée provoque des modifications significatives de la locomotion du cheval au trot. Ces travaux ont permis d'apporter des informations quantifiées sur l'effet de la selle et du cavalier sur la biomécanique dorsale du cheval dans la condition montée lors de l'effort. Ces connaissances nouvelles seront utilisées (1) pour la conception de nouvelles selles mieux adaptées au cheval en mouvement et (2) pour mieux comprendre, prévenir et traiter les dorsalgies chez le chevalThe aim of this thesis was to analyze the interactions between the horse’s back and the saddle during exercise and develop, thanks to these new knowledges, a new range of saddle adapted to horse’s movements and to the rider. The originality of this thesis was to measure the movements of the spine in the thoracic region located under the saddle. An innovative protocol was developed to measure the interactions between the back and the saddle using different materials (pressure mat, 2D kinematics, stirrup force sensors, and inertial measurement units) synchronized and miniaturized. With this protocol, it was possible to quantify the movement of the horse’s spine, the pressure under the saddle and the effect of the rider by comparing a “standard” saddle with new prototype “panels” modifying the contact area of the saddle on the horse’s back. The results of these studies have helped to highlight the impact of the rider on the range of motion of the horse’s back and locomotion during the trot and to demonstrate that a saddle, which the contact area is modified, causes significant changes in the locomotion of the horse. This work helped to provide quantified information on the effect of the saddle and the rider on the horse’s back biomechanics in the ridden condition. These new knowledges will be used (1) to design new adapted saddles to the horse in motion and (2) to better understand, prevent and treat back pain in horses

This project explores and shares the stories of post-natural builders in South Africa who use re-purposed waste materials and natural materials to build “shack-replacement” houses and community structures. The project supported the builders with advocacy tools and generated a model for creative collaboration suited for supporting empowering community engagement in other contexts. The project’s video narratives and multi-media artworks share stories of how the post-natural building practice connects builders to cultural identities associated with traditional architecture, builds local capacities through training and community activity, and provides inexpensive, climate-appropriate shelter.

A crucial factor to enable low-income families to participate in the gradual development of their homes is to find a link between their building activities and those of the large-scale building sector. Amidst technological development and increasing demand for housing, the large-scale sector, such as government and private groups, resorted to industrialised housing to replace traditional and conventional building materials and methods. Industrialisation, however, resulted not only in expensive and inappropriate dwellings but also eliminated homeowners from the building process and management of their homes. To bring back the homeowners in the building process, the shift was towards the production of small components and partial prefabrication.Following the same thrust, there have been numerous innovative building systems for housing developed in the Philippines in the last two decades. Private entrepreneurs develop these building systems either promoting locally invented systems or adapting imported versions. Seeing their potentials, government and private groups are trying to employ them in housing. Despite the growing number of the innovative building systems and the interest to use them, their integration in low-income housing is still limited.
Focusing on Metro Manila, the capital region of the Philippines, the thesis aims to develop a selection model for the effective integration of innovative building systems in low-income housing. The process of integration is not simply using the building systems for mass production of houses but also enabling homeowners to utilise, maintain and sustain them. The proposed model involves sets of selection parameters essential at each stage of the housing delivery based on the homeowners' progressive building process and their criteria for choosing building materials for their homes. To facilitate progressive building and enhance the homeowners' initiative to build, the model also includes design strategies when employing new building systems and suggests the necessary channels to ensure the availability of the building systems, technical assistance and information.

This dissertation aims to analyze Law 11.888 / 2008, Law of Public Technical Assistance, which gives instructions about the access to architecture and engineering technical services for population that has an income from 0 until 3 minimum wages, understanding that its effective use can become an important tool in the exercise of citizenship. The research initially rescues the consolidation of the Brazilian housing problems, including the practice of self-build house, as well as all historical formulation process by which passed the aforesaid Law, from initial discussions until its actual publication. Then, a systematic analysis of the major barriers to its use in municipal, state and federal levels is performed. The work continues with the presentation of some cases of application of the law in some municipalities, pointing out examples of good practice as well as some cases of failure, in order to extract, from this survey, important information to underlie future proposals. The research makes an approach to the object of study in the State of Paraíba, where ve municipalities are selected for analysis in situ, with the objective of demonstrating the level of information about the Law 11.888 / 2008. To complement the theoretical framework collected in the survey, it sought the position of the CAU – Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (Board of Architecture and Urbanism), both federal and state level, to verify which actions could be supported by this Board and how it can subsidize the multiplication of practices or programs of public architecture and Engineering, not only in Paraíba State, but also in the whole national territory. Finally some practical guidelines and conjunctural analysis of the entire panorama presented in this work are outlined. Thus, this dissertation seeks to contribute to the effective application of the Law 11,888 / 2008, in order to that this important Law does not become a dead letter, but an effective instrument to access a constitutional right, what contributes to exercise citizenship and to built a just city.
A presente dissertação objetiva analisar a Lei 11.888/2008, Lei da Assistência Técnica Pública e Gratuita, que predispõe sobre o acesso a serviços técnicos de arquitetura e de engenharia para um público de renda de 0 a 3 salários mínimos, entendendo que sua efetiva utilização possa se tornar uma importante ferramenta no exercício da cidadania. A pesquisa resgata inicialmente o processo de consolidação da problemática habitacional brasileira, inclusive a prática da autoconstrução, assim como todo o processo histórico de formulação pelo qual passou a referida Lei, desde os primeiros debates até sua efetiva publicação. Em seguida, é realizada uma análise sistemática dos principais entraves à sua utilização nos âmbitos municipal, estadual e federal. O trabalho prossegue com a apresentação de alguns casos de aplicação da referida Lei em alguns municípios brasileiros, apontando exemplos de boas práticas como também alguns casos de insucesso de forma a extrair, a partir desse levantamento, importantes informações para subsidiar futuras propostas. A pesquisa faz um recorte do objeto de estudo no Estado da Paraíba, onde são selecionados cinco municípios para análise in loco, com o objetivo de demonstrar o nível de informação a respeito da Lei 11.888/2008. Para complementar o arcabouço teórico coletado na pesquisa, buscou-se levantar o posicionamento do CAU - Conselho de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, tanto a nível federal como estadual, para vericar quais ações poderiam ser apoiadas pelo Conselho e como este poderia subsidiar a multiplicação de práticas ou programas de Arquitetura e Engenharia Públicas, não apenas em municípios paraibanos, como também em todo o território nacional. Finalmente são esboçadas algumas diretrizes práticas e análise conjuntural de todo o panorama apresentado neste trabalho. Desta forma, busca-se contribuir com a efetiva aplicação da Lei 11.888/2008, para que a Assistência Técnica Pública e Gratuita não se torne uma letra morta, mas um efetivo instrumento de acesso a um direito constitucional. Contribuindo, portanto, no exercício da cidadania e na construção de uma cidade mais justa.

Pain induced by bad adjustment or inappropriate placement of the saddle is a frequent cause of back pain. This study evaluated 62 saddles used on 129 jump horses. Data such as age, breed, gender, body score, competition level, changes in performance, reactions at saddling or at performing certain exercises and evidence of back pain were obtained from the horses. Information regarding years of use, number of horses and riders that use the saddles and the rider s competition level were also registered. Before and after training sessions horses were subjected to thermography of the thoracic-lumbar region. Saddles were also evaluated by thermography soon after their removal from the animal after finishing the training session. Each saddle was used on an average of 4.6 ± 3.7 horses. Thermography identified asymmetry between panels in 62.8% of the saddles and contact with the thoracic-lumbar column on 37.2% of the evaluated saddles. After exercise, abnormal heat points were detected on the column and withers of 28.7% and 33.3% of the horses, respectively. The thermographic image of the thoracic-lumbar column after training showed asymmetry on 55.8% (n=72) of the animals. Contact of 76 to 100% of the saddle dashboard area with the back of the horse was observed on only 51.2% of the saddles. At rest, 39.5% of the horses showed a heat point compatible with an area of pressure from the saddle. There was no interaction between asymmetry on the saddle and the horse. Thermography proved to be a useful tool in evaluating the adjustment and position of saddles used on jumpers.A dor e/ou desconforto induzidos por mau ajuste ou posicionamento inadequado da sela é uma causa freqüente de dorsopatia. O presente trabalho avaliou 62 selas usadas em 129 cavalos de salto. Dos cavalos foram colhidos dados sobre idade, raça, sexo, escore corporal, nível de competição, alterações no desempenho ou ao selar, dificuldade na execução de determinados exercícios e dor lombar. Das 62 selas foram tabuladas as informações referentes ao tempo de uso, número de cavalos e cavaleiros que a utilizam e, do cavaleiro o nível em que este compete. Antes e após o treinamento os cavalos foram submetidos à termografia da região tóraco-lombar. A sela usada foi avaliada com auxílio da termografia logo após sua retirada do animal depois de finalizado o treinamento. Cada sela foi usada em média por 4,6 ± 3,7 cavalos. Com a termografia, foi identificada assimetria entre os painéis em 62,8% e contato com a coluna tóraco-lombar na sua linha média dorsal em 37,2% das selas avaliadas. Também foram encontrados, após o trabalho, pontos assimétricos de calor na coluna em 28,7% e na cernelha em 33,3% dos cavalos. A imagem termográfica da coluna tóraco-lombar após o exercício foi assimétrica em 55,8% (n=72) dos animais. Somente 51,2% das selas apresentaram de 76 a 100% de contato entre seus painéis e o dorso do cavalo. Em repouso, 39,5% dos animais apresentaram um ponto de calor compatível com uma área de pressão da sela. Não houve interação entre assimetrias na sela e no dorso dos cavalos. A termografia mostrou ser uma ferramenta útil na avaliação do ajuste e posicionamento da sela usada em cavalos de salto.

There is still a high potential for developing technical solutionseven though a lot of the technology already exists on the market regarding for examplesolutions for energy production, seasonal storage, heating, water supply, draining system andventilation. Renewable energy sources need to priorities and a transition to 100 % renewableenergy require a change in pattern of behavior and more energy efficient buildings to lowerthe consumption. When designing self-sufficient houses, the sun is a good source for both energy and heatingwhich can have an impact on the orientation of the building and the slope of the roof. Otheraspects to consider can be the choice of building material, technical space, the climate shelland the disposition of the plan.

Kamaiya is a system of Nepalese agriculture bonded labor. In typical wage labor, one can enter or withdraw from the labor market as an independent agent; in the case of bonded labor, however, a worker cannot control his or her labor power. The Kamaiyas were liberated by the Nepalese government in 2000, and promised land to build houses. Without enough money for construction, however, many of these “ex-Kamaiyas,” as they are now called, are without housing or live in sub-standard units. This thesis examines the housing possibilities for the ex-Kamaiyas and aims at creating basic guidelines for planning and designing low-cost, self-help housing. The thesis is an attempt to design affordable and environmentally responsive housing that draws on Nepalese vernacular traditions but incorporates some modern materials and construction methods. The research and designs are based on interviews with ex-Kamaiyas living in the Nepalese villages of Tesanpur, Janatanagar, and Bhuri Gaun. The thesis serves as a guide for non-profit organizations working to provide housing for the ex-Kamaiyas and consists of guidelines, termed “design patterns,” for laying out ex-Kamaiya neighborhoods and for designing and constructing individual houses. The thesis also provides step-by-step construction guidelines for building the houses. The thesis’s last chapter evaluates the proposed housing system and identifies strengths and weaknesses.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina VeterináriaEmbora seja um dos mais pequenos e recentes grupos de especialidade, o comportamento animal constitui uma área de extrema importância na medicina veterinária, permitindo identificar e afastar problemas médicos subjacentes a um quadro de alterações comportamentais, assim como divulgar conselhos baseados na ciência e na investigação, auxiliando os proprietários a compreender e a modificar os problemas comportamentais observados nos seus animais de companhia. De acordo com a bibliografia consultada, os sinais mais frequentemente observados pelos proprietários são a eliminação inapropriada, a agressividade, a ansiedade e os problemas dermatológicos, estando disponível uma grande variedade de possibilidades de tratamento, nomeadamente no que diz respeito à modificação comportamental e ao maneio ambiental. O presente estudo teve como objectivo compreender quais as alterações comportamentais mais frequentemente identificadas pelos proprietários em Portugal, e a sua relação com as características dos animais, dos proprietários e do ambiente em que se inserem. Tentou-se ainda conhecer a forma como se recorre aos diferentes meios de tratamento possíveis, e as condições em que se opta pela eutanásia num caso de agressividade. Para tal foi distribuído um questionário, tendo sido recebidas respostas relativas a 197 animais, 120 cães e 77 gatos, oriundos, essencialmente, da região da grande Lisboa. Os medos, particularmente nos gatos, constituem o problema comportamental que mais se destaca, seguido da agressividade para com animais desconhecidos, situação que se revelou mais comum em cães. A ansiedade e a agitação constituem a terceira alteração comportamental mais referida pelos proprietários, sendo caracterizada por originar a exibição de outros comportamentos indesejados, como o comportamento destrutivo, a auto-mutilação, a vocalização excessiva e a eliminação inapropriada, observando-se ainda, especialmente nos gatos, o picacismo. Apenas um pequeno número dos animais que revelaram algum problema comportamental recebeu tratamento. Nos cães, o procedimento mais utilizado é a modificação comportamental, essencialmente através de aulas de obediência e treino, embora também se recorra ao tratamento farmacológico quase com a mesma frequência. Nos gatos, após o recurso aos fármacos, o maneio ambiental surge como o procedimento mais utilizado e associado a outras formas de tratamento, apesar de se verificar que as técnicas descritas pelos proprietários são muito limitadas quando comparadas com a diversidade de possibilidades existentes. Os proprietários da maioria dos animais incluídos neste estudo, afirma que não recorreria à eutanásia em nenhum caso de agressividade ou que, pelo menos, tentaria alguma forma de tratamento.
ABSTRACT - BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS IN SMALL ANIMALS - Although being one of the smallest and most recently formed fields of speciality, animal behaviour is an extremely important area in veterinary medicine. It not only allows the identification and treatment of underlying medical problems but it also provides advice and science based information to the owners in order to help them understand and manage their pets behaviour problems. According to the researched bibliography, the most common signs of behaviour problems are house-soiling, aggression, anxiety and dermatologic disorders, and there is a wide range of treatments available, especially regarding behaviour modification and environmental enrichment. The purpose of this study is to acknowledge which are the most common behaviour problems indentified by animal owners in Portugal, and understand their connection with the animal’s features, as well as with its owner’s and the surrounding environment’s characteristics. This investigation is also focused on learning how the owners resort to the available treatment possibilities and in which conditions they would choose euthanasia in an aggression case. In order to achieve that purpose, a questionnaire was distributed, having been received 197 replies, 120 concerning dogs and 77 concerning cats, the majority being from the Lisbon area. Fears, especially in cats, are the most frequently observed signs of behaviour problems, followed by aggression towards unfamiliar animals, which is mainly observed in dogs. Anxiety was the third most reported sign, being known to cause other behaviour problems such as destructive behaviour, self-directed behaviour, excessive vocalization, house-soiling, and also pica, especially in cats. Only a small number of the animals that showed some kind of behaviour problems actually received treatment. Within the group of dogs, behaviour modification was the most common form of therapy, usually applied through obedience classes, followed closely by pharmacological therapy. In cats, after drug therapy, the environmental enrichment is the form of treatment that is most commonly used and combined with other therapies, although it became clear that the options used by the owners in this study were very limited comparatively to the wide range of techniques available. It was also possible to conclude that the owners of the majority of the animals in this study would not opt for euthanasia to solve cases of aggression but would seek some form of treatment instead.

The purpose of this study is to explore the possibilities of using auditory stimulation in order to raise somatic awareness of horse riders while riding using Somaesthetic Appreciation Design as a method. In research of Somaesthetics and horse-human relations, a gap in Somaesthetics is being questioned, and a new dimension is suggested. Somaesthetics in the design of technology often surround the self of a user, and Somaesthetics as described by Shusterman is focused on self development, but many of our experiences are in union to other beings. The suggestion of a new dimension is called Centaur Somaesthetics, and it focuses on the relation and communication between two somas in order to understand and improve oneself. One example of an experience where the self is dependent to another being is within equestrianism, where the rider is dependent on the horse. Riders, as well as their horses, use their bodies to communicate while riding, meaning that being aware of one's body as a tool for communication is crucial. When horse and rider find harmony within teamwork, the rider may experience a centaur feeling of being one with the horse. This centaur feeling relies on the rider's ability to support and direct the horse, but to do this we need to understand the horse. One of the basics in equestrianism is rhythm and tempo, where a correct rhythm and a consistent tempo in all gaits is desirable as it is a sign of good communication and a well-educated horse. By applying the Somaesthetics principle of raising somatic awareness to understand and improve oneself - this study has explored the possibilities of using audio in combination with the self-tracking application Equilab, using their technology of tracking motion data to determine rhythm and tempo. This has resulted in the concept of using rhythm-adaptive and tempo-flexible music to support the riders to be more aware of their bodies as a tool for communication. The music will present a correct rhythm of the ridden gait as well as it is being played at a consistent tempo of the horse’s natural tempi. While testing a design of the concept called Hear the Centaur, the conclusion of the music having great signs of a heightened somatic awareness was established. No objective data of a more consistent tempo or a more correct rhythm was found, but all riders who participated in the study articulated that they found a great support in the music. All riders found support in the area that they were currently struggling with, and all riders mentioned that the music helped them with their communication to their horse.

The Introduction and Advanced Equine Assisted Family Therapy (EAFT) courses offered at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) provide graduate Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) student therapists the space to learn about collaborating with horses for therapeutic and educational purposes. However, these courses also offer the potential for a unique dimension to self of the therapist development. Through these courses, student therapists are able to learn theory and application of an innovative experiential model for clients, but also utilize the activities to get to know themselves better as emerging therapists.
The purpose of this study was to explore if and how the learning that occurs within the EAFT courses transfers into traditional talk therapy sessions. More specifically, the study explored how students utilized the experiential process of learning within the courses to further their understanding of the self of the therapist. The conversations that unfolded from reviewing MFT student therapists’ video recorded talk therapy sessions at the Brief Therapy Institute’s family therapy clinic served as the data. Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) was used to inquire about this process, including specifically how it relates to self of the therapist development.

Este trabalho visa mostrar a importância da participação popular no processo de produção da moradia no contexto das políticas públicas e programas habitacionais no Brasil. Esta participação aponta para a elevação do nível organizativo do poder público e da comunidade e para uma mais ampla e adequada apropriação do espaço urbano construído pela população. A contextualização do quadro das políticas habitacionais no Brasil, o processo de descentralização do poder público e o processo de desenvolvimento da participação popular nos projetos habitacionais são apresentados como auxílio à compreensão do que se pretende observar quanto à formatação de políticas e programas habitacionais que valorizam a população como peça fundamental no processo. São apresentadas algumas experiências consideradas importantes sob o ponto de vista da participação popular na produção da moradia, como as Cooperativas Uruguaias e o Programa FUNAPS Comunitário da Prefeitura de São Paulo. Três projetos habitacionais em fase de conclusão em três diferentes municípios da Grande São Paulo foram estudados nesta pesquisa. Por meio de uma análise crítica comparativa foram estabelecidos critérios para verificar como o poder público tem administrado a questão da falta de moradia, que afeta principalmente a população mais empobrecida e ainda como tem tratado o direito garantido da participação popular no contexto de seus programas habitacionais nos dias de hoje.This essay intents to show the importance of the popular participation in the residence building process, when treated in terms of public polices and housing programs in Brazil. This participation may contribute to an increasing on the organization level of public power and their communities, besides the aid for an increasing in urban appropriation by the population. The contextualization of the situation of public polices in Brazil, the public power decentralization process and the popular development participation in housing-production, are shown as a contribution to the understanding about the formatting of housing publics polices that value the poor population as a fundamental part in this process. This work shows some important experiences referring to the popular participation in housing productions, as the Uruguaian Cooperatives and the FUNAPS´ Program from São Paulo´s city hall. Three housing projects in conclusion phases occurring in three different cities of São Paulo´s Metropolitan Region have been studied in this research. The methodology used to study these projects was a comparative analyzes by previews established criteria in order to verify how the public power has managed the problem of housing lack, which affects principally the poorest population and also to identify how has been treated the guaranteed rights of the popular participation in housing programs nowadays.

Einleitung
Huferkrankungen nehmen einen hohen Patientenanteil in der orthopädischen Pferdepraxis ein. Sie sind häufig begleitet von geringem Hornwachstum und/oder ständigen Tragrandausbrüchen. Hierbei stellt sich die Frage, in wie weit dieses Geschehen durch die jeweilige Pferdehaltung begünstigt wird und wie stark der genetische Einfluss hierauf ist. Vom einzigen rezenten Wildpferd, dem Przewalskipferd, sind Daten zum Hornwachstum und -abrieb mit ausgeprägter Saisonalität bekannt, außerdem existiert bei Haltung im Semireservat ein spezieller Mechanismus des Tragrandausbruches. Diese Faktoren führen zu einer selbstständigen Huflängenregulation ohne Einflussnahme des Menschen.
Ziele der Untersuchungen
Die Untersuchungen dienen dem Ziel, für das Hauspferd Daten über saisonale Hornproduktion und Hornabnutzung zu erheben und Aussagen über einen eventuell vorhandenen physiologischen Huflängenregulationsmechanismus (wie er auch bei den Przewalskipferden vorkommt) zu machen. Eine suffiziente Ausprägung eines solchen Mechanismus ist für die tierschutzgerechte Durchführung einer Haltungsform, bei der die Pferde weitgehend sich selbst überlassen sind, essentiell. Durch den Vergleich mit dem Przewalskipferd sollen außerdem genetische und umweltbedingte Einflüsse auf die Huflängenregulation geklärt werden, um die Kenntnisse der für eine extensive Pferdehaltung nötigen Umweltfaktoren zu verbessern und zu erweitern.
Materialien und Methoden
Für die Untersuchungen standen insgesamt 26 Liebenthaler Pferde (Hauspferde) unterschiedlichen Alters (12 Pferde vor 1999 geboren, 14 Pferde ab 1999 geboren) und Geschlechtes (11 Hengste, 15 Stuten) zur Verfügung, die in Semireservat-ähnlicher Haltung leben. Bei diesen Tieren wurden über einen Zeitraum von einem Jahr an jedem Huf in monatlichem Abstand die Länge des Rückenteils der Hufplatte, die Hornbildung, der Hornverlust sowie das Auftreten von Hornspalten und Hornchips erfasst. Die Messungen der Dorsallänge sowie der monatlichen Hornbildung und des monatlichen Hornverlustes wurden direkt an den Hufen der untersuchten Pferde durchgeführt, wobei zur Erfassung von Hornbildung und Hornverlust der Distalschub einer artifiziell angebrachten Markierung an der dorsalen Hufwand erfasst wurde. Die auftretenden Hornspalten und Hornchips wurden monatlich fotografisch dokumentiert und im Anschluss nach ihrer Ausdehnung und Lokalisation ausgewertet. Für die Aussagen im Ergebnisteil wurden Methoden der deskriptiven und explorativen Statistik angewendet (Berechnung von Mittelwerten, Streuungsmaßen, Korrelationen, Darstellung linearer zusammenhänge mittels Regressionsgeraden, Varianzanalysen, Scheffé-Test).
Ergebnisse
Die dorsale Huflänge unterliegt bei den Liebenthaler Pferden einer Regulation, die es ermöglicht, sie nach Ausbildung ihrer individuellen Größe innerhalb einer gewissen Spannweite auch über Jahre hinweg konstant zu halten. Die Dynamik im Jahreszyklus äußert sich mit Höchstwerten im Mai und Minimalwerten im August. Dieses ist bedingt durch die im Verlauf der Jahreszeiten unterschiedlichen Werte bei Hufhornbildung und -verlust. Im Sommer sind sowohl die Hornproduktion als auch der Hornverlust signifikant höher als in den kälteren Monaten. Obwohl Hornbildungsrate und Hornverlust eine positive Korrelation zueinander aufweisen (r = 0,47), lassen sich auch Unterschiede erkennen: im Frühling und Sommer überwiegt der Hornverlust, während sich im Herbst und Winter eine höhere Hornbildung nachweisen lässt.
Für die Abnutzung des Hufhorns gibt es zwei sich ergänzende und saisonal unterschiedlich stark wirkende Mechanismen: den Hufhornabrieb und die Tragrandausbrüche als Endergebnis des Chippings. Der Hornabrieb wird vor allem durch die Untergrundhärte gefördert und tritt zu allen Jahreszeiten mit Höchstwerten im Sommer und Minimalwerten im Winter auf. Das Auftreten von Tragrandausbrüchen und den sie bedingenden Hornchips ist vor allem auf die Sommermonate konzentriert, während in den kälteren Jahreszeiten nur wenige und kleinere Ausbrüche stattfinden. Der Prozess des Chippings wird eingeleitet durch die Bildung von Hornspalten im Tragrandbereich zwischen denen es dann durch Spreiz- und Hebelwirkung beim Auffußen zur Bildung eines Querrisses mit anschließender vollständiger Separierung eines Hornchips kommt. Der Tragrand wurde im Ergebnis dieses Ausbruchs auf das Niveau der Hufsohle eingekürzt. Die meisten Hornchips treten in Übereinstimmung mit der Ausbildung von Hornspalten an der lateralen Hufseite auf, außerdem werden die Vorderhufe deutlich öfter durch Tragrandausbrüche verkürzt als die Hinterhufe. Die Bildung von Hornspalten ist in der untersuchten Population deutlich höher, als es für einen regelrechten Chipping-Vorgang nötig wäre.
Schlussfolgerungen
Für die Liebenthaler Pferde wird die Schaffung von Bereichen mit abrasiven Untergründen auf dem ansonsten mit weichem Boden bedeckten Weidegelände empfohlen, um das häufige Auftreten von durchgehenden Hornspalten (mit der damit verbundenen Gefahr von Schmerz und Lahmheiten) zu minimieren.
Bei einem Vergleich mit unter ähnlichen Bedingungen gehaltenen Przewalskipferden lässt die Höhe von Hornbildungsrate und Hornverlust einen genetischen Einfluss auf diese Parameter vermuten. Die Ausprägung der saisonalen Unterschiede ist jedoch bei beiden Rassen gleich, so dass für diese am ehesten die Habitatbedingungen als auslösende Faktoren in Betracht kommen. Beim Liebenthaler Pferd stellt sich eine dem Przewalskipferd ähnliche Längenregulation am Huf ein, wobei einzelne hierfür notwendige Mechanismen auch Unterschiede aufweisen. Somit wird deutlich, dass die Grundlage für eine physiologische Selbsterhaltung der Huflänge die den Pferden angebotenen Haltungsbedingungen sind, während die Genetik und die Domestikation geringere Effekte auf die Längenregulation haben. Auftretende pathologische Erscheinungen (nicht nur am Huf) müssen jedoch auch bei Extensivhaltung der Pferde zur Landschaftspflege erkannt und behandelt werden.

This research aims to understand self-translation as a postcolonial, social, political, cultural and linguistic phenomenon and it focuses on how it communicates a hybrid transcultural identity that not only challenges the monolingual literary canons and concepts of national homogeneous identities, but also subverts to patriarchal society. Thus, I understand self-translation as a mean of empowerment and contestation. The cases under study are Puerto Rican writers Rosario Ferré and Esmeralda Santiago, and their novels The House on the Lagoon and América’s Dream, written in English and translated into Spanish by the authors themselves. I believe that Rosario Ferré and Esmeralda Santiago are representative of a group of writers, artists and intellectuals who through their work originated from the island and from the U.S. Diaspora, have aimed to give voice to a Puerto Rican postcolonial hybrid identity that has been silenced until recently. Therefore, they disrupt the official national cultural and linguistic discourse about the Puerto Rican identity that has been weaved by the Spanish language in opposition to U.S. colonialist attempts of linguistic and cultural assimilation. This dissertation is located in the intersection between the fields of comparative literature, translation, cultural, gender and postcolonial studies. The question that guides this research is: Is self-translation in the case of Puerto Rico, a result of cultural hybridity in Puerto Rico’s postcolonial context?Therefore, this is a multidisciplinary research project that integrates elements from the humanities and the social sciences. Methodologically, it integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches. Hence, hybridity is embedded in this research not only because it discusses English and Spanish writing, but because it includes textual analysis, content analysis and statistical analysis. The main finding is the deep conection between socio-political context, language, culture, identity, power and translation that supports the idea that self-translation is a postcolonial act, which in the case of Puerto Rico is strongly related to hybridity as an everyday practice of identity affirmation.

Arthur Ingram and Lionel Cranfield were part of the early modern phenomenon of social mobility, rising from humble merchants to titled gentlemen in one generation. Cranfield, especially, reached significant heights in a matter of years. Despite the fact both men have merited biographies which chart their commercial and political careers, little attention has been paid to their lives outside of the political sphere leaving room for an analysis of their family and personal estates and the extent to which they utilised their houses in their self-projection. The originality of this thesis lies in its comparison of the two men which not only highlights their dependency on each other and mutual advertisement of each other’s image, but also opens up the question of regional disparity in house building as Ingram’s country estates were situated in Yorkshire whereas Cranfield’s were mainly close to London. The first chapter introduces the issues of social mobility, self-fashioning, and regionality, provides a literature review and explains the methodology employed. Chapter 2 looks at the careers and families of Ingram and Cranfield before examining the ways in which they furthered their ascent through the fashioning of their attire, education and learning, and social networks. The thesis then focuses on the houses of both men, with Chapters 3 and 4 considering how they built and styled their houses. Chapter 5 examines the craftsmen and materials employed by Ingram and Cranfield on their building programmes and in particular the geographical location of their houses. Chapter 6 discusses the way Ingram and Cranfield furnished their residences and how their households were related to the local community, particularly in terms of hospitality. The gardens and grounds that surrounded their houses are the subject of Chapter 7. The thesis concludes with an evaluation of the significance of Ingram’s and Cranfield’s houses in the self-projection of their image and how far the geographical location of their residences affected how successful this was.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration in Project Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018.According to Section 26 (1) of the constitution of Republic of South Africa, everyone has a right to have a satisfactory house to restore and honour the dignity of the South Africans. However South African government implemented several housing programmes to bridge the gap of housing backlog in South Africa. One of the housing programmes that South African government implemented is People Housing Process (PHP). It was approved in 1998 by South African government. South African government shifted focus on the quality of houses and mainly focused on the quantity of houses delivered through the financial year. There have been a lot of quality complaints on PHP. The quality defects are signs of foundation failures, cracks on foundations, water flooding around the houses, water not properly channelling to the drain, cracks on walls, dampness of walls, mould on walls, water seeping through the windows, poorly applied external plaster, incorrect bonding of internal walls to external walls, walls that are not straight walls, sagging ceiling panels, gable not properly filled with mortar, roof structure not properly tied up, sagging roof coverings, roof leaks, sagging roof tiles and ridges, rust on painted iron material, poor quality of blocks used, insufficient cement on mortar mix and peeling off paint. National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC) are the custodians of the home building industry. They were excluded from PHP from 1998 till March 2012. NHBRC was approved to inspect PHP house in April 2012. Thus, the aim of the study was to compare the houses that were built before NHBRC involvement in PHP with those that were built after NHBRC involvement in PHP. The sample included 50% of each of the two groups (those in houses built without NHBRC involvement and those built with NHBRC involvement), the research involved at least 50 respondents per group (McMillan, et al 2001:177 – recommends 15 respondents per group). The sample size per group has been put at 50 since the larger the sample the higher the accuracy. The study is classified as quantitative research because it intended to quantify the variation in occurrence, situation, problem or issue; the information was gathered using predominantly quantitative variables and the analysis was geared to ascertain the magnitude of the variation. The findings of the study revealed that the quality of the houses that were built under PHP programme before NHBRC intervention on PHP was not up to standard however the quality on those that were built after NHBRC involvement improved. Therefore it is recommended for Western Cape government to implement the rectification programme which was approved by National Department of Human Settlements in 2009 mainly focusing on houses that have been severely structurally compromised and are regarded as unfit for human habitation as it poses a threat to the health and safety of the occupants (The National Housing Code, 2009: 11-13).

African-American and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) bear a disproportionately large burden of the Human Immunodefiency Virus (HIV) epidemic in the United States. To further enhance HIV prevention efforts among men of color, a survey was conducted within New York City’s house ball community; a community largely comprised of racial and ethnic minority persons. Time-space sampling was adapted to recruit participants for the survey from venues frequented by members of the house ball community. Using logistic regression analysis, this study examined the effects of perceived stigma, enacted stigma, sense of community and self-esteem on unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) among a sub-sample of men in the survey. Both perceived and enacted stigma had a modest direct effect on engaging in UAI. The direct effect on UAI was significant even after controlling for covariates in the model. The magnitude of the effect on UAI did not vary by race/ethnicity or sexual identity. In addition, perceived and enacted stigma correlated negatively to both sense of community and self-esteem scores. Although sense of community did not buffer the effect of perceived or enacted stigma on UAI, both sense of community and self-esteem were protective against engaging in UAI. However, while the direct effect of sense of community on UAI remained after controlling for covariates in the model, the effect self-esteem had on UAI diminished after adding variables to the model. Further, self-esteem was negatively correlated with both perceived and enacted stigma, but it did not mediate perceived and enacted stigma’s effect on UAI. Implications for HIV prevention strategies given these findings are discussed. Implications include developing multilevel interventions, including structural interventions, to reduce the stigma that is perceived and experienced by men of color as well as building stronger communities for African American and Latino MSM.

Resumo: A ventilação natural é um dos fatores importantes na qualidade e no conforto da habitação. Para ser eficiente, é necessário que o projeto seja adequado à realidade urbana e climática da região. No Estado de São Paulo, a casa autoconstruída , em geral, não recebe o apoio técnico necessário para a qualidade desejada do projeto. Muitas vezes, a falta de qualidade se reflete aos parâmetros de conforto dos moradores. Dentre esses parâmetros, a ventilação, ao redor das edificações, depende da implantação tanto do loteamento, quanto das edificações que oferecem, ou não, condições de arejamento e ventilação. Dentre as maneiras de estudar-se a ventilação natural, optou-se, nesse trabalho, pelo método baseado em simulações computacionais, com utilização de CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), através do software Phoenics. A proposta do projeto é avaliar, através de modelagem computacional, as alterações na ventilação natural no espaço do lote padrão, exterior às habitações; ocasionadas por transformações construtivas nestas edificações. A partir de um banco de dados existente sobre loteamentos autoconstruídos em Campinas/SP, em 2000, verifica-se, após cinco anos, modificações projetuais nas habitações do loteamento São José, analisando-se as alterações no domínio do lote e averiguando seus efeitos sobre a ventilação. A inserção do problema no software divide-se em três momentos de análise: 1-) parâmetros de simulação a serem utilizados; 2-) ar externo e a relação com o entorno próximo; 3-) entorno próximo e a relação direta com a área livre do lote. Como forma de relacionar os valores virtuais com a realidade, foi proposta uma quadra típica, contendo habitações reais existentes no bairro onde se coloca, lado a lado, a mesma habitação com e sem as alterações encontradas no período de cinco anos. A análise para os valores de convergência é feita através de gráficos e as alterações são monitoradas por meio de videos retirados do próprio software, nos quais é possível analisar, pela construção de linhas de corrente específicas, as diferenças gerais em cada casa. Os resultados demonstram a interferência das alterações dos projetos na velocidade e no fluxo do vento. A observação geral da quadra, e o diagnóstico de cada casa, constatam as alterações na relação do fluxo e velocidade do vento na malha urbana, as quais, na maior parte dos casos, são negativas. A contribuição do trabalho é a constatação de que: a-) alterações particulares interferem no fluxo do vento do espaço externo, repercutindo nas áreas urbanas do entorno próximo; b-) geram recirculação do ar quando são a modificação consiste na construção de coberturas, ou seja, superfícies horizontais; c-) aumentam a geração de vórtices nas vias locais, quando utilizados muros ao invés de grades, isto é, alterações verticais. Quanto à urbanização das autoconstruções, o trabalho contribui para a conscientização sobre o problema da largura cada vez menor das vias locais e possíveis melhorias nas diretrizes para autoconstrutores.
Abstract: Natural ventilation is one of the important factors in housing quality and comfort. It is necessary that the project is adequate to the urban reality of the region and climate so that ventilation is effective. In the State of São Paulo, self-built houses often do not receive the necessary technical support to the desired quality of the project. Often, the lack of quality is reflected in the parameters of comfort for residents. Among these parameters, ventilation around the buildings depends on the site planning, which defines the conditions of aeration and ventilation. Among the research methods for natural ventilation, in this work it was chosen that based on computer simulations, through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), using the software Phoenics. The aim of the work is to evaluate through computational modelling the changes in natural ventilation in the space of the standard lot, outside the house, due to constructive modification in these buildings. From a database on existing lots characterized by self-built houses in Campinas, SP, in 2000, is was observed, after five years, the design modifications in the housing of the settlement São Jose, analysing the alterations in the lot and examining their effects on ventilation. The insertion of the problem in the software is divided into three stages of analysis: 1 -) simulation parameters to be used, 2 -) external air in its relation with the surrounding, 3 -) and the near surrounding in its relationship with the open area of the lot. In order to relate the virtual values with the reality, a typical block was proposed, containing existing houses in the neighbourhood, placed side by side, the same houses with and without the occurred modifications in the five years. The convergence analysis for the values is carried out through graphs and changes are monitored by means of videos obtained from the software, where it is possible to verify, through specific stream lines, the general differences in each house. The results show the interference of changes in the projects and in the wind flow velocity. The general observation of the block, and the diagnosis of each house, show the changes in the flow and wind speed in the urban network, which in most cases are negative. The contribution of this work is the fact that: a-) individuals changes affect the wind flow from the outer space, with consequences in the nearby urban areas b-) they generate recirculation of air when the modification is the construction of roofs, that is, horizontal surfaces, c-) they increase the generation of vortices in local streets, where walls are used instead of fences, that is, with vertical changes. In relation to self-built urban settlements, the work contributes to the awareness of the problem of ever smaller width of local streets and possible improvements in guidelines for selfbuilders.

This thesis explores the impact of two behavioural finance concepts, social psychology and psychology, on household financial decisions. Under social psychology, I investigate whether the variety and intensity of social engagement enhances stock market participation. With regard to psychology, I examine two behavioural biases. First, I investigate whether mental accounting influences portfolio choice in three asset classes and whether financial advice and housing tenure increase (decrease) the effects of mental accounts on portfolio choice. Second, I examine whether households’ self-reported housing wealth are anchored on published house price indices and whether anchoring bias is mediated by market information, mortgage refinancing decisions and social factors. The main contributions and findings in the three studies are as follows. First, although there is an elaborate body of research concerning the relationship between social engagement mechanisms and portfolio choice, most studies investigate specific mechanisms in isolation. Using three waves in the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), I bring together five social engagement measures in one model and show that socially engaged individuals are more likely to participate in the stock market. Consistent with Granovetter’s (1973) theory of social networks I find that a weak tie (measured by social group involvement) has a positive effect on stock market participation whereas a strong tie (measured by talking to neighbours) has no effect. More trusting individuals are more likely to participate in the stock market, as are those who identify with a political party. In contrast, the degree to which religion is important appears to have little impact. These results are robust using different specifications. Overall, the results of this study demonstrate that the likelihood of stock market participation increases with the variety and intensity of social engagement. Second, despite the established theoretical underpinnings of mental accounting in behavioural portfolio theory (BPT) and recent extensions, not much is known about their implications in real life situations. I use a recent UK household survey, the Wealth and Assets Survey (WAS), which has comprehensive information about financial assets to investigate whether there are differences in the ownership and portfolio share of three asset classes among individuals who exhibit no mental account, a single mental account and multiple mental accounts, and the conditional influences of financial advice, housing, cognitive ability, time preference and risk tolerance. Overall I find that mental accounting together with financial advice and housing tenure explain variations in both the probability of ownership and portfolio share in the three asset classes. Households that exhibit a single mental account have low share of investments in, and are less likely to own, a risky asset when compared to those that exhibit no mental account or exhibit multiple mental accounts. I also find that, when compared to having no mental account, exhibiting a single mental account or multiple mental accounts increases both the probability and investment share in a fairly safe asset but decreases portfolio share in safe assets. In addition, among those that exhibit a single mental or multiple mental accounts, financial advice decreases portfolio share in risky assets and fairly safe assets and increases portfolio share in safe assets. Housing tenure increases both the probability and portfolio share in risky assets, decreases portfolio share in fairly safe assets and increases portfolio share in safe assets. These results are consistent using multi-equation regressions, sub-samples, reparametrised variables and poisson regressions. Finally, as little is known about how households derive the self-reported house prices estimates that are commonly used to determine housing wealth, the third study examines whether households are anchored on published house price indices. The key conjecture is that, while assessing the values of their homes, homeowners place more weight on house price news at the expense of property characteristics and other market information. I find support for this hypothesis using sixteen waves of the BHPS, multiple methods, and both regional and national house price indices. I conclude that changes in self-reported housing wealth are anchored on changes in published house price indices. Specifically, ownership through a mortgage and greater financial expectations increase anchoring effects while mortgage refinancing decreases the effects. Moreover, use of money raised from refinancing for home investment, as opposed to other consumption purposes, has a positive association with change in self-reported house value and both uses reduce anchoring bias. In addition, I find that computer use increases anchoring bias and, among social engagement mechanisms, religiosity reduces anchoring while other measures have no effect. These results are robust to internal instrumental variables, national aggregate house prices, alternative indices and sub-samples.

O trabalho objetiva analisar a cadeia produtiva de esquadrias de madeira desde a sua aquisição até a montagem final, tendo em vista identificar as potencialidades e os limites de sua fabricação dentro de um contexto diferenciado: utilizando mão-de-obra em fase de capacitação, infra-estrutura mínima e matéria-prima na maior parte proveniente de plantios florestais não manejados para serraria. Os dados foram coletados a partir do acompanhamento e observação direta das atividades realizadas em uma marcenaria autogestionária no assentamento rural Pirituba II, durante a experiência Inovarural, com a utilização do método da pesquisa-ação. A produção de esquadrias em madeira de eucalipto embasada nessas condicionantes mostrou-se viável sob os aspectos econômico, técnico e social. O desempenho da matéria-prima utilizada revelou a carência da oferta de madeira de melhor qualidade na região e a necessidade da ampliação de áreas manejadas para esta finalidade. Embora as dificuldades encontradas, foi possível fabricar um componente de alta qualidade e acessível à população de baixa renda, atingindo as expectativas e satisfação das famílias envolvidas. Outro resultado de extrema relevância foi a formação de um grupo fixo e capacitado para a continuidade das atividades de incubação do empreendimento transformando-se na real possibilidade de geração de trabalho e renda local.The objective of this work is to analyze the production chain of windows from its acquisition until the final assembly keeping in mind to identify the potentialities and the limits of its manufacture in a differentiated context: using work power in qualification phase, minimum infrastructure and raw material wich most of them came from not managed for saw forests. The data had been collected from the accompaniment and direct comment of the activities carried through in a collective self-managed joinery in a rural settlement called Pirituba II, during the Inovarural experience. The research method used was the research-action. The squadron\'s production by Eucalyptus wood under these conditions revealed viable under the aspects economic, social and technic. The raw material performance shows the lack of offers of better quality wooden in the region and the necessity of the magnifying the managed areas for this purpose. Although the difficulties that was found, were possible to manufacture a component of high quality accessible to the low income population, being reached the expectations and satisfaction of the involved families. Another result of extreme relevance was the formation of a group fixed and enabled to the continuity of the activities of incubation of the enterprise changedding itself into the real possibility of generation of work and local income.
