Повний текст джерелаThe aim of our work was to build an accurate human middle-ear finite-element model that is based on accurate geometry and a priori material-property estimates.
A human temporal-bone specimen was obtained for which the middle-ear response had been measured by means of laser Doppler vibrometry. High-resolution micro-computed tomography data for the specimen were used for accurately defining structure geometry. This model comprises the tympanic membrane, the ossicles, two joints, and four ligaments. We assigned estimated material-property values derived from the literature.
We compared the response of our model with those of other human middle-ear models, and with experimental measurements including those from the same ear. Sensitivity of the model to several of its parameters was also investigated.

Повний текст джерелаOne technique used to analyse the mechanics of complex models is the finite-element method whereby the system of interest is divided into a large number of small simple elements. The mechanical properties and applied forces are represented by functions defined over each element, and the mechanical response of the whole system can then be computed.
A unique three-dimensional finite-element model of the human eardrum and middle ear was devised. This model takes advantage of phase-shift moire shape measurements to precisely define the shape of the eardrum. The middle-ear geometry is derived from histological serial sections and from high-resolution magnetic-resonance microscopy of the human ear.
The model allows an improved understanding of the mechanics of the human middle ear, can simulate various pathological conditions, and assist in the design of ossicular prostheses.

Повний текст джерелаEsta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el fenómeno de la clase media china, poniendo especial énfasis en la construcción social de la identidad mediante el análisis de las prácticas y representaciones sociales en China urbana contemporánea. Se utiliza una metodología mixta que incluye el análisis de entrevistas semiestructuradas llevadas a cabo en Beijing entre 2017 y 2018, el discurso oficial de la clase media china a través de las enmiendas a la Constitución de la República Popular de China (RPC) y de textos y discursos de los líderes del Estado-partido y, finalmente, del contenido de los artículos sobre clase media publicados en Renmin wang (Diario del Pueblo en Línea) —portavoz oficial del Comité Central del Partido Comunista Chino— desde principios del siglo XXI. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio no es brindar únicamente un ejemplo categórico de la construcción social de la identidad en la clase media, sino explorar también el campo social de China urbana contemporánea como espacio multidimensional de movilidad social, de nuevas prácticas y representaciones sociales —es decir, de nuevos estilos de vida. Aunque estas observaciones parten del esquema conceptual propuesto por Pierre Bourdieu, los resultados obtenidos cuestionan su conceptualización de la ’clase real’ y su formulación respecto a las condiciones homogéneas de existencia de las clases y su capacidad generadora de prácticas sociales similares. El modelo de Bourdieu permite descubrir una serie de características definidoras que indican que la formación de los grupos de clases medias en la RPC constituye principalmente un fenómeno de reproducción social en lugar de un proceso de formación de clase. Por otra parte, el resultado de esta investigación determina de qué manera la tesis de la ‘cleavage society’ o cristalización de clases se fundamenta principalmente en el consumo —es decir, el capital económico—, y no tanto en una identidad de ‘clase’ reconocible o ‘clase real’. La migración interna en la RPC es una forma de consumo de un determinado estilo de vida, una práctica suzhi (‘de calidad’) y una manera de construirse como sujeto de clase media, civilizado y moderno. Además, en las ciudades chinas se construye progresivamente una identidad de clase media no solo con prácticas de consumo, sino también con la experiencia de participar en nuevas actividades vecinales basadas en principios abiertos, públicos y solidarios, y en acciones colectivas contra la vulneración de sus derechos como propietarios. Así, esta investigación muestra la validez y la configuración del concepto de clase —junto a los de etnicidad, género y sexualidad— para producir una representación precisa de la institucionalización, legitimación y reproducción tanto de la desigualdad como del privilegio en las sociedades contemporáneas
This research aims to explore the social phenomenon of the Chinese middle class, with particular focus on the social construction of identity by analysing social practices and representations in contemporary urban China. The study is framed in the analysis of semi-structured interviews collected in Beijing between 2017 and 2018, the official discourse of the Chinese middle class through the amendments to the Chinese Constitution, the main texts and speeches of the Party-state leaders and, finally, the content of articles on middle class published on Renmin Wang (People’s Daily online) —the mouthpiece of Central Committee of the Communist Party of China— since the early 21st century. Therefore, the aim of this research is not only to provide a categorical example of the social construction of identity within Beijing’s middle class, but also to explore the social field in Contemporary urban China as a multidimensional space of social mobility, new social practices and representations —that is, new lifestyles. While these observations have been derived by employing a conceptual schema associated with the work of Pierre Bourdieu, some results obtained question his conceptualization of “real class” and his formulation on homogeneous conditions of class as homogeneous systems of dispositions capable of generating similar practices. As a result, this study has discovered a number of defining characteristics that indicate that the formation of the middle-classes groups in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) constitutes a social reproduction phenomenon rather than a class formation process. Moreover, the findings of the case study undertaken in Beijing are also supportive of the thesis of a cleavage society or the so-called class crystallization is maintained primarily through consumption —that is, economic capital—, but not through a recognizable ‘class’ identity or ‘real class’. Also, this study has shown that domestic migration in the PRC is also a form of lifestyle consumption, a suzhi (‘quality’) practice and a way to fashion oneself as a middle-class, civilized and modern subject. However, a middle-class identity is progressively constructed in urban China not only through consumption practices but also through the experience of participating in new activities in their neighbourhood life based on principles of openness, publicity and solidarity, and also in collective action against violation of their private-property rights as homeowners. Besides, the research revealed the validity and the configuration of the concept of class —together with racialization, gender and sexuality— to produce an accurate representation of the institutionalization, legitimatization and reproduction of both inequality and privilege in contemporary societies.

Повний текст джерелаEsta tesis doctoral contiene una investigación dirigida a la comprensión de la transición del Paleolítico Medio al Superior en las montañas del Zagros, y de sus implicaciones en debates más globales. Esta investigación es el resultado del completo trabajo de campo llevado a cabo en cuatro yacimientos paleolíticos: las cuevas de Gilvaran, Ghamari y Kaldar, y el abrigo de Gar Arjeneh, localizados en el valle de Khorramabad, en Irán occidental. La excavación a mayor escala llevada a cabo en la cueva de Kaldar supuso el descubrimiento de restos culturales generalmente asociados a los humanos anatómicamente modernos (HAM), así como de evidencias de industrias probablemente fabricadas por Neandertales. Para el nivel 4 de la cueva de Kaldar se obtuvieron fechas por termoluminiscencia comprendidas entre los 23,100 ± 3300 y los 29,400 ± 2300 BP, así como tres fechas por radiocarbono AMS de 38,650–36,750 cal BP, 44,200–42,350 cal BP, y 54,400–46,050 cal BP respectivamente. Con los datos disponibles, la cueva de Kaldar se convierte en la primera localidad bien estratificada y excavada correspondiente al Paleolítico Superior en el Zagros, y en una de las evidencias más tempranas con cultura material atribuida a los HAM en Asia occidental. Asimismo, ofrece la oportunidad de estudiar las diferencias tecnológicas y de comportamiento humano entre el Musteriense y el Paleolítico Superior inicial. Se presentan aquí los resultados de ambas campañas de excavación, incluyendo una detallada descripción de la estratigrafía de cada yacimiento, los resultados del estudio de los conjuntos líticos, los restos faunísticos, aspectos tafonómicos, la interpretación paleoambiental regional disponible, y finalmente los datos geocronológicos del yacimiento de Kaldar. A parte de los resultados publicados que se recogen en esta tesis (Bazgir et al. 2014, 2017; Davoudi et al. 2015; Becerra-Valdivia et al. 2017), se aportan detalles de las excavaciones y algunos resultados de estudios multidisciplinarios llevados a cabo acerca de cuestiones tecno-tipológicas y funcionales en las industrias líticas así como de estudios antracológicos de los carbones recuperados en las cuevas de Gilvarán y Kaldar.
This PhD thesis deals with a goal-oriented research towards understanding the transition from Middle to Upper Paleolithic in the Zagros Mountains and its implications in global debates. This research is the result of a comprehensive field work carried out in four Paleolithic sites: Gilvaran, Ghamari and Kaldar caves and Gar Arjeneh rock shelter, located in the Khorramabad Valley; western Iran. We re-excavated Kaldar Cave in larger scale that led to the discovery of cultural remains generally associated with anatomically modern humans (AMH) as well as evidence of a probable Neanderthal-made industry. In Kaldar excavation we achieved four thermoluminescence dates for Layer 4, ranging from 23,100 ± 3300 to 29,400 ± 2300 BP, and three AMS radiocarbon dates yielding ages of 38,650–36,750 cal BP, 44,200–42,350 cal BP, and 54,400–46,050 cal BP. With the available data, Kaldar Cave is the first well-stratified Late Palaeolithic locality to be excavated in the Zagros which is one of the earliest sites with cultural materials attributed to early AMHs in western Asia. It also offers an opportunity to study the technological differences between the Mousterian and the first Upper Palaeolithic lithic technologies as well as the human behaviour. I present the results from both the excavation seasons which includes detailed description of each site stratigraphy, quantified results from the lithic assemblages, faunal remains, taphonomic aspects, interpretation of the regional paleoenvironment and geochronologic data from Kaldar Cave. Apart from the published results presented here in this thesis (Bazgir et al. 2014, 2017; Davoudi et al. 2015; Becerra-Valdivia et al. 2017), I provided more details from our excavations as well as some of our multidisciplinary analysis carried out on techno-typological and functional analysis on the lithic industries as well as anthrachological analysis on the recovered charcoals from Gilvaran and Kaldar caves.

The purpose of this study is to review some of the common issues which frequently are the focus of asylum appeal cases in relation to applicants from South Asia and the Middle East. The focus is on Pakistan, Iraq and Iran and it covers a range of issues that give rise to asylum claims, such as the general security situation, the risk from terrorism and other forms of political violence, the risk to political opponents of governments, the risks in blood feuds and from the perceived violation of family honour, religious persecution and the risks faced by ethnic minorities. It is a very useful resource to volunteers and professionals involved in supporting asylum seekers.

Повний текст джерелаEl objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es analizar el papel de la respuesta de latencia media del potencial evocado auditivo en el proceso de detección de la novedad auditiva. Más concretamente, y en base a la hipótesis de que el sistema de la novedad auditivo funciona de una manera jerárquica, el objetivo es estudiar el nivel de complejidad de las regularidades codificadas durante la respuesta de latencia media. Para este fin, se registraron las respuestas de latencia media en respuesta a paradigmas de la novedad auditiva con diferentes grados de complejidad. Al mismo tiempo, se analizó el potencial de disparidad con el fin de obtener una comparación directa entre la respuesta de latencia media y los potenciales evocados auditivos de larga latencia de estímulos estándar, desviados y, cuando fuera posible, estímulos de control. Basada en pruebas por la presente tesis y otros estudios relacionados, se concluye que la codificación de regularidad y de la detección de desviación de estímulos presentados en paradigmas auditivos poco complejos, como el paradigma “oddball” o el paradigma “multi-feature”, está reflejada por modulaciones de la respuesta de latencia media. En cambio, la codificación de regularidad y de la detección de desviación de estímulos presentados en paradigmas auditivos más complejos, como el paradigma “feature conjunction”, requiere mecanismos cerebrales de orden superior a los que se refleja en la respuesta de latencia media, como se indica por la provocación del potencial de disparidad. Esto corrobora la hipótesis de que el sistema de la novedad auditiva trabaja de forma jerárquica.

In high density urban areas where the land acquisition and construction cost components are significant relative to total development costs, the market typically supplies a high-income housing product in order to justify the risks for new construction. In places such as New York, Tokyo, London and other land supply restricted cities, the effect of these rising costs has forced the unsubsidized middle-class to migrate further and further from the center of the city where most of the infrastructural area amenities and jobs are located. This causes extended commuting times that result in the exacerbation of pollution and wasted allocation of resources. In effect, the overall function of the city grows more inefficient. All the while, the demographic texture of the central city becomes a polarized gathering of the wealthy elite and the service oriented subsidized poor. The lack of income diversity results in a spatial built form that also mimics this polarized condition. In these circumstances, might there be a strategy for encouraging a housing prototype that specifically targets the broad middle class market in order for cities to maintain diverse communities, a tapestry of spatial form, and a more efficient competitive city. The hypothesis is that if housing occupancy levels can be doubled from what is currently allowed within spaces that are tighter than typical American standards, then middle-income affordability can be achieved without diminishing design quality. This thesis investigates what flexible spatial possibilities there may be for middle-income housing based on a series of design priorities that are underpinned with an approach that advocates for a more intense occupancy use per unit of housing. Due to the augmented use intensity, flexibly designed elements are built within the spatial form of each unit. Each design variation is subsequently tested against a private sector based feedback mechanism that measures the affordability range that the design can offer. This iterative tool reveals what income groups can be supplied due to the design changes put forth by the varying design priorities. It is the hope that this tool will enable architects, developers, and the capital markets to understand the trade-offs made from both a spatial form perspective as well as a market perspective in order to ultimately enhance the condition of the built environment.

Resumo: A terapia antirretroviral (TARV) impactou drasticamente na taxa mortalidade e expectativa de vida de pessoas vivendo com HIV (PVHS), mas tem sido associada a uma série de alterações metabólicas, incluindo a síndrome metabólica (SM). Tal como para as consequências clínicas da SM, existe evidência de que as mulheres são particularmente afetadas negativamente. Objetivos: Determinar a prevalência de SM e fatores associados em mulheres climatéricas com e sem o vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV). Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal, entre outubro de 2010 e julho de 2012, em uma amostra com 537 mulheres (273 mulheres climatéricas HIV soropositivas e 264 mulheres climatéricas HIV soronegativas) entre 40 e 60 anos em dois centros de referência no tratamento ambulatorial de HIV. A SM foi diagnosticada de acordo com o critério da IDF, 2006. Foi realizada uma entrevista para avaliação dos fatores sociodemográficos, clínicos, comportamentais e fatores associados com a infecção pelo HIV. Todas foram submetidas à medida do peso corporal, altura, circunferência da cintura, pressão arterial e realizaram coleta de sangue periférico para dosagem de colesterol total e frações, triglicérides, glicemia de jejum e dosagens hormonais. Foram utilizadas a análise bivariada e a análise de regressão múltipla para selecionar os principais fatores associados à SM. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 47,7 anos nas mulheres HIV soropositivas e 49,8 anos nas mulheres HIV soronegativas (p<0,001). A prevalência de SM no grupo soropositivo foi de 46,9% em comparação com 42,2% no grupo soronegativo (p=0,340). A análise bivariada mostrou maior prevalência de SM no grupo HIV soropositivo em mulheres que estavam na pós-menopausa em comparação ao grupo soronegativo (p=0,032), em uso de terapia hormonal (TH) (p=0,040), quando a autopercepção de saúde foi considerada excelente/boa (p=0,011) e em mulheres com índice de massa corporal (IMC) > 25 kg/m² (p=0,005). A análise bivariada somente do grupo HIV soropositivo mostrou associação entre SM e idade ? 50 anos (p=0,002), escolaridade < 8 anos (p=0,003), pós-menopausa (p<0,001), IMC > 25 Kg/m² (p<0,001) e FSH ? 40 mUI/mL (p=0,002). Não houve associação entre SM e o uso de Lopinavir e Indinavir no grupo HIV soropositivo. A análise de regressão múltipla no grupo geral mostrou que os fatores associados a SM foram IMC > 25 kg/m² (RP: 2,34; IC95%%: 1,70-3,21; p<0,001), envelhecimento (RP: 1,05; IC95%%: 1,02-1,07; p<0,001) e uso de TARV (RP: 1,48; IC95%%: 1,13-1,94; p=0,005). A análise múltipla somente do grupo soropositivo mostrou associação entre SM e IMC em kg/m² (RP: 1,09; IC95%%: 1,05-1,13; p<0,001) e dosagem de hormônio folículo estimulante (FSH) ? 40 mUI/mL (RP: 1,66; IC95%%: 1,14-2,40; p=0,008). Conclusão: Não houve associação de SM e infecção pelo HIV. Verificou-se que as mulheres HIV soropositivas tiveram prevalência significativamente maior de SM quando na pós-menopausa, com alto IMC e em uso da TARV. Observa-se a necessidade de uma melhor abordagem de mulheres HIV soropositivas e soronegativas para evitar o ganho de peso e SM
Abstract: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) dramatically impacted mortality and life expectancy in people living with HIV (PLWH), but has been associated with a number of metabolic abnormalities, including metabolic syndrome (MetS). As to the clinical consequences of MetS, there is evidence that females are particularly negatively affected. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of MetS and associated factors in climacteric women with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Methods: A cross-sectional study between october 2010 and july 2012, in a sample of 537 women (273 HIV seropositive climacteric women and 264 HIV seronegative climacteric women) between 40 and 60 years at two referral centers in the HIV outpatient¿s clinic. MetS was diagnosed according to IDF, 2006. Interviews to assess sociodemographic, clinical, and behavioral factors associated with HIV infection was performed. All women were submitted to body weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure and performed peripheral blood collection for total cholesterol dosage and fractions, triglycerides, fasting glucose and hormone levels. Bivariate analysis and multiple regression analysis to select the main factors associated with MetS were performed. Results: The mean age was 47.7 years in HIV seropositive women and 49.8 years in the HIV seronegative women (p<0.001). The prevalence of MetS in HIV seropositive climacteric women was 46.9% compared to 42.2% in the HIV seronegative group (p=0.340). Bivariate analysis revealed a higher prevalence of MetS in HIV seropositive group in women who were postmenopausal compared to HIV seronegative group (p=0.032), in use of hormone therapy (HT) (p=0.040), when the self-rated health was considered excellent/good (p=0.011) and in women with body mass index (BMI) > 25 kg/m² (p=0.005). The bivariate analysis of such HIV seropositive group showed an association between MetS and age ? 50 years (p=0.002), formal education < 8 years (p = 0.003), being postmenopausal (p<0.001), BMI > 25 kg/m² (p<0.001) and FSH ? 40 mIU/mL (p=0.002). There was no association between MetS and the use of Lopinavir and Indinavir in HIV seropositive group. Multiple regression analysis showed that in the whole group, factors associated with MetS were BMI > 25 kg/m² (PR: 2.34; 95 % CI: 1.70 to 3.21; p<0.001), aging (PR: 1.05; 95 % CI: 1.02 to 1.07; p<0.001) and the use of HAART (PR: 1.48; 95 % CI: 1.13 to 1.94; p = 0.005). Multiple analysis of such HIV seropositive group showed an association between MetS and BMI in kg/m² (PR: 1.09; 95 % CI: 1.05-1.13; p<0.001) and follicle stimulating hormone dosage (FSH) ? 40 mIU/mL (PR: 1.66; 95 % CI: 1.14 to 2.40; p=0.008). Conclusion: There was no association of MetS and HIV infection. It was found that HIV seropositive women had significantly higher prevalence of MetS when being postmenopausal, with high BMI and in use of HAART. There is a need of a better approach to both HIV seropositive and seronegative women to prevent weight gain and MetS

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Late Pleistocene, Middle Stone Age artefact sequence at the Klasies River main site, was studied to establish what information this held for inferences on the emergence of symbolic thought and communication. The approach adopted was to complement traditional typological analysis by a technological study of artefact production within the framework of the chafne opératoire. The results show that technology was aimed at producing preformed blanks. In the choice of materials, the technique and method of blank production and the retouch of blanks, arbitrary or stylistic choices were made. Changes in stylistic conventions can be documented through the sequence. Changing conventions in artefact production show that the lives of the people who made the artefacts were structured in a symbolic web. These results together with evidence from evolutionary biology, show that by at least 115 000 years ago, people were able to think and speak symbolically. This African archaeological evidence for the emergence of symbolism, a defining attribute of modem peoples, is much older than previously considered. KEYWORDS: Klasies River, Middle Stone Age, technology, symbolic communication, human evolution.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Latere Pleistoseen, Middel Steentydperk artefakte by Klasiesrivier vindplaas is bestudeer om te bepaal watter kennis ingewin kan word aangaande die ontstaan van simboliese denkwyse en kommunikasie. Die benadering wat gevolg is, was om tradisionele tipologiese analise te komplementeer met 'n tegnologiese studie van artefak produksie binne die raamwerk van die chafne opératoire. Die resultate demonstreer dat tegnologie gemik was op die produksie van voorafgevormde skilfers. Die keuse van roumateriaal, die tegniek en metode van produksie en die herafwerk van skilfers is gelei deur arbitrêre stilistiese keuses. Veranderinge in hierdie konvensies kan gedokumenteer word deur die hele sekwens. Hierdie verandering is tipies van mense wie se lewens gestruktureer word deur 'n simboliese web. Dié resultate, en dié van evolusionêre biologie, dui daarop dat mense reeds teen 115 000 jaar gelede simboliese denke en spraak magtig was. Hierdie bewyse vanuit Afrika vir die ontstaan van simboliese gedrag is veel vroeër as vantevore gereken. SLEUTEL WOORDE: Klasiesrivier, Middel Steentydperk, tegnologie, simboliese kommunikasie, menslike evolusie.

Повний текст джерелаOne of the most interesting remains preserved in these caves is the ashy features or hearths. They are usually abundant and often visually well preserved. Ash accumulations are sometimes meters thick. Their presence has made it possible to use and develop new techniques in order to obtain more information about the fire related activities carried out in the cave, the functionality of these hearths and their significance in the social life of past cultures.
One of the techniques used for the study of hearths involves the analysis of phytoliths. Phytolith analyses in prehistoric hearths can be used for a variety of purposes. These include the identification of ash remains, even in locations where they are not visible to the naked eye due to diagenetic alteration; the identification, in a specific hearth, of the use of wood/bark as opposed to other types of vegetation such as grasses, and the identification of different species of trees and/or other plants used as fuel in a specific hearth. It is also conceivable that the latter two sources of information could provide indications of possible uses of fire (cooking, warmth, technical purposes, etc.) based on the different fuels used.
An interpretation of the phytolith data from an ashy feature or hearth needs to be based both, on the morphological characteristics and the quantitative analyses of the phytoliths. This provides information on the absolute number of phytoliths produced by the trees and other plant taxa present in the area, and on the number of phytoliths per unit weight of sediment. This in tum may indicate, for example, the extent of mixing of ash with other soils, the relative proportions of say wood ash and grasses in a hearth, or the use of fruits from trees or other parts of the trees.
This study focuses on the ash layers frorn two prehistoric caves in Israel, Tabun and Kebara, both located on Mount Carmel, Israel (Figure 1). Tabun was occupied during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic periods and Kebara was occupied during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic periods. Both caves have visible hearths, with those in Kebara being particularly impressive.
Alternative modes of occupation of Tabun Cave during the deposition of the Mousterian Levels B and C, have been proposed. Garrod & Bate (1937) interpreted the archaeological record of both levels as being indicative of domestic occupationaI activities. Jelinek et al. (1973) proposed that the presence of articulated limb bones of "Dama mesopotamica" in the Level B sediments below the cave chimney, indicated that the cave was used as a natural game trap. They also noted that the white ash layers in Level C extended across the whole cave, and proposed that this was due to the burning of natural vegetation in the cave. The study carried out in Tabun cave aims at clarifying the modes of occupation during these periods.
Level B sediments closely resembles the terra rossa soil, that is common in this region. Burning activity is inferred from charcoal fragments observed in thin sections. A minor wood ash component is present based on the preponderance of phytoliths with a variable, irregular morphology, produced mostly in wood and bark as compared to those with a consistent or characteristic morphology, as well as phytoliths with shapes characteristics of those formed in wood and bark of local trees. Thus fires were produced in the cave during this period. The cave may also have been used as a game trap.
Level C is composed of multiple layers of brown, black and white sediments. Micromorphology, mineralogy and phytolith analyses all show that these layers are mixtures of terra rossa soil and ash, with the latter being abundant in the white layers. The phytoliths in these layers are derived almost entirely from wood and bark, and not from grasses. These observations are consistent with a domestic occupational mode.
Kebara cave is a well studied archaeological site. It contains abundant visible hearths and ash-derived minerals that are the major component of the Mousterian sediments. The latter are in varying states of preservation. Furthermore, archeobotanic information is available from charred remains. Kebara cave is thus an ideal location to study the potential of phytoliths to provide information on the mode of fire used in the cave, to assess the input of other plant materials, as well as to determine the effects of diagenesis on phytolith preservation.
Sixteen samples were analyzed in terms of their mineralogy, phytolith contents per unit weight of acid insoluble fraction, and phytolith morphologies. In general the preservation of the phytoliths is good, except for the two samples in which the mineral component at present is largely ash-derived calcite. The cave sediments contain about ten times more phytoliths than those present in the four samples analyzed from outside the cave. The major source of plant material input into the cave is clearly from the wood and bark used for the fuel for fires. The grass phytoliths present in the samples are also thought to have been brought into the cave mainly associated with the wood/bark fuel. Sediments from the hearths, as well as those between the hearths, contain abundant wood/bark phytoliths. The two samples of the latter contain also appreciable amounts of phytoliths not known to be present in wood and bark, as do other hearth-derived samples. Plant materials other than those used as fuel, were thus also brought into the cave.
The study about Kebara cave shows that phytoliths analysis, in conjunction with detailed mineralogical, stratigraphic, archaeobotanic and field information, can provide a more complete understanding of the use of plant materials in prehistoric caves for both fuel and other purposes.

O presente trabalho propõe-se a descrever e analisar as relações entre Brasil e Oriente Médio sob o prisma dos tradicionais princípios que regem a política externa brasileira, em particular a promoção dos direitos humanos. A fim de atingir esse objetivo, a inserção internacional principista do país é discutida, em paralelo à construção da identidade internacional do país. Em seguida, analisa-se a adesão do Brasil ao regime internacional dos direitos humanos, assim como a inclusão da linguagem dos direitos humanos no discurso diplomático brasileiro. Um histórico das relações entre o Brasil e os países médio-orientais é então conduzido, com especial atenção a sua consonância com o discurso principista oficial. Por fim, a relevância e as ambivalências da política externa brasileira de direitos humanos para o Oriente Médio é estudada, no contexto da forte aproximação do Brasil com omundo árabe, durante os governos de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva e Dilma Rousseff.A esse respeito, é dada especial atenção à imagem que o Brasil tem se esforçado para promover, a de um ator internacional responsável com aspirações à liderança regional e global.
This dissertation aims to analyze the relations between Brazil and the Middle East under the perspective of the traditional principles guiding Brazilian foreign policy, particularly the promotion of human rights. In order to achieve this goal, Brazil s principled foreign policy is discussed, along with the construction of the country s international identity. Next, we analyze Brazil s commitment to the international human rights regime and the inclusion of the language of human rights within Brazilian diplomatic discourse. An overview of Brazil s relations with Middle Eastern Countries is then conducted, with particular attention to its coherence with Brazilian principled discourse. Finally, Brazil s ambivalent foreign policy, when comes to human rights promotion towards the Middle East, is examined in the context of Brazil s dynamic relations with the Arab world during the governments of Luís Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. In this regard, special consideration is given to the image that Brazil has been struggling to promote, that is, one of a responsible international stakeholder with aspirations to regional and global leadership.
