Dunn, Anne, and n/a. "Manufacturing audiences?: policy and practice in ABC radio news 1983-1993." University of Canberra. Professional Communicaton, 2005. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20051123.132051.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis sheds light on the ways in which audiences are made through the relationships between organisational policy and news production practice. It explores the relationships between news practitioners� perceptions and definitions of audiences, production, and organisational policies, using the radio news service of the Australian national public broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). In so doing, the thesis demonstrates that production, in its institutional context, is a crucial site for the creation of audiences in the study of news journalism. In the process, it illuminates the role of public service broadcasting, in a world of digital media The conceptual framework utilises a new approach to framing analysis. Framing has been used to examine the news "agenda" and to identify the salient aspects of news events. This thesis demonstrates ways in which framing can be used to research important processes in news production at different levels, from policy level to that of professional culture, and generate insights to the relationship between them. The accumulated evidence of the bulletin analysis - using structural and rhetorical frames of news - field observation and interviews, shows that a specific and coherent audience can be constructed as a result of newsroom work practices in combination with organisational policies. The thesis has increased knowledge and understanding both of how news workers create images of their audiences and what the institutional factors are that influence the manufacture of audiences as they appear in the text of news bulletins.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to inquire if there are dispositions of any type. of newscast carried by ABC News about Nigeria and if these newscasts are positively or negatively inclined. The analysis quantified and verified that while the broadcast content of ABC News presentations on Nigeria have been objectively covered, the newscasts have taken stereotypical patterns. This, thereby establishes the need for ABC News, being an example of American network news, to diversify and cover stories of social and human interest in Nigeria and other Third World countries. The study concludes that a true maxim of news coverage is needed as a guide to unbiased, unslanted or cliched news presentations.

Full textAbstract:
Autism has been declared an urgent public health concern by the U.S. government and an epidemic by some advocacy groups. Determining autism’s diagnostic criteria, prevalence, and causes have been challenging. It is important to examine how the U.S. media have contributed to the public’s understanding of autism. Previous research found that British media coverage of the theory that vaccines cause autism was shown to contribute to the decline of vaccination rates in Britain (Lewis & Speers, 2003). This study examined U.S. television news media coverage using an agenda-setting theory and media framing perspective. A content analysis was conducted of national television evening news broadcasts airing on ABC, CBS, and NBC from 1994, when autism was first recognized as a spectrum disorder through April 2010, the time of this study. Specifically, this study examined the saliency of autism stories and how autism was framed in terms of prevalence and causes.

Full textAbstract:
Automation in manufacturing has come far by using industrial robots. However, industrial robots require tremendous efforts in static calibration due to their lack of senses. Force and vision are the most useful sensing capabilities for a robot system operating in an unknown or uncalibrated environment [4]and by integrating sensors in real-time with industrial robot controllers, dynamic processes need far less calibration which leads to reduced lead time. By using robot systems which are more dynamic and can perform complex tasks with simple instructions, the production efficiency will rise and hence also the profit for companies using them.
Although much research has been presented within the research community, current industrial robot systems have very limited support for external sensor feedback, and the state-of-the-art robots today have generally no feedback loop that can handle external force- or position controlled feedback. Where it exists, feedback at the rate of 10 Hz is considered to berare and is far from real-time control.
A new system where the feedback control can be possible within a real-time behavior, developed at Lund Institute of Technology, has been implemented and deployed at Linköping Institute of Technology.
The new system for rapid feedback control is a highly complex system, possible to install in existing robot cells, and enables real-time (250 Hz) sensor feedback to the robot controller. However, the system is not yet fully developed, and a lot of issues need to be considered before it can reach the market in other than specific applications.
The implementation and deployment of the new interface at LiTH shows that the potential for this system is large, since it makes production with robots exceedingly flexible and dynamic, and the fact that the system works with real- time feedback makes industrial robots more useful in tasks for manufacturing.

The object of this work is the action of metallurgist Union Trade from ABC in the decade of 1990, period of the productive restructuring of its several new dimensions in the work world. The absorption by the state of the union trade movement and the Partido dos Trabalhadores and the objective relations that defined the capitalism, through the decade of 1990, characterized the peculiar way assumed by the work in the brazilian society. In this way, the brazilian neoliberalism got a different manner and content and revealed more an engagement of the state than a distance of the so called market power . With intense participation, the government of Fernando Collor de Mello and Fernando Henrique Cardoso implemented the new basis for the productive restructuring of the capital. This engagement Capital x State had as main content to the social organization of the production, the principles politics and the credits for the capital expansion and, fundamentally a new kind of capture of the work subjectivity. The Metallurgist Union Trade from 1990 ABC, so combative in the decade of 1980 and a deep class character abandon this profile and assume a new corporative sector manner dominating the Union Trade action propositive. The union trade neocorporatist , of propositive nature is assumed, fundamentally, after the IV (4 th) Congress of Central Única dos Trabalhadores in 1991 and developed by the Metallurgist Union Trade from ABC, main union trade of cutistas basis, and of the Automotive Sector Board (1992-1994). The new assumed abandoned this profile the practices to the basis and assume the neocorporatist and adherence to the negotiation with the government s companies. The substantive criticism to the political and economical order is replaced by negotiated content. The losses are absolutely bigger than the gains for the working class. The indices of unemployment of the period don t leave doubts about the role of the restructuring and about the tiny union trade influence in the changes in the sector and in the directions of economy. In our point of view, it is clear that the decade of 1990 was a period of several dimensions of the restructuring and that the Metallurgist Union Trade actions from ABC, following the guidelines of the Central Única dos Trabalhadores, assumed the propositivo profile, understood by us, a adherence to the state driven by the politicist bias
O objeto deste trabalho é a atuação do Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos do ABC na década de 1990, período da reestruturação produtiva e das suas novas dimensões do mundo do trabalho. A cooptação pelo Estado do movimento sindical e do Partido dos Trabalhadores e as relações objetivas que definiram o capitalismo, ao longo da década de 1990, caracterizaram a forma peculiar assumida pelo sindicalismo na sociedade brasileira. Assim, o neoliberalismo brasileiro adquiriu forma e conteúdo distintos como anel auto-perpetuador e revelou mais um engajamento do Estado do que um distanciamento das chamadas forças do mercado . Com intensa participação, o governo de Fernando Collor de Mello e o de Fernando Henrique Cardoso implementaram as novas bases para a reestruturação produtiva e para a reestruturação do capital. Esse engajamento Capital-Estado teve como principais conteúdos à organização social da produção, os princípios políticos e creditícios para a expansão do capital e, fundamentalmente, um novo tipo de captura da subjetividade do trabalho. O sindicalismo metalúrgico do ABC, tão combativo na década de 1980 e com profundo caráter classista, abandona esse perfil e assume uma nova lógica corporativa setorial denominado sindicalismo propositivo. O neocorporativismo sindical, de cariz propositivo, é assumido, fundamentalmente, após o IV Congresso da Central Única dos Trabalhadores em 1991 e desempenhado pelo Sindicato dos Metalúrgicos do ABC, principal sindicato da base cutista, e na Câmara Setorial Automotiva (1992-1994). O novo perfil assumido abandona as práticas junto à base e assume o cupulismo e a aderência às negociações junto às empresas e governo. A crítica substantiva à ordem política e econômica é substituída pelo conteúdo negociativo. As perdas são absolutamente maiores que os ganhos para a classe trabalhadora. Os índices de desemprego do período não deixam dúvidas sobre o papel da reestruturação e sobre a ínfima influência sindical nas mudanças do setor e nos rumos da economia. Para nós, fica claro que a década de 1990 foi o período das múltiplas dimensões da reestruturação e que o Sindicalismo Metalúrgico do ABC, seguindo as orientações da Central Única dos Trabalhadores, assumiu uma posição caudatária da lógica politicista, entendido por nós, como aderência do Estado não acenando para uma lógica onímoda do trabalho

This thesis examines four groups of lay catholic communities on the greater ABC region to wich we denominate Catholic Community alternative arrangements. They are extra parochial communities formed by a founder, autonomously organised with regard to a moral system, cultual, symbolical, and of a network relationship. Attuned to contemporary modernity and beneath supervision of the local clergy, these catholic arrangements are characterized by a ruled and hierarquical life, focused on serving a specific target audience, recovering, adjusting, combining religious Catholic doctrine to glossolalia practice, deliverance and soul healing. The organizational structures of the arrangements, the socio-religious antecedents of its members also their ability to adapt forward to social surroundings, were analyzed through an ethnographic research. It was found that these Catholic arrangements are places that allow their leaders to exercise at best autonomy its catholicity in a more intimate and spiratualized character. We understand t hat these Catholic arrangements composse certain type of Catholicisms consultancy that assist its clients in the inner healing, at the same time that, devices or helpers to Catholic Apostolic Church, in order to keep it strategically in contemporary modernity. The elements that give cohesion and symbolic strength to this communities were analyzed with Bourdieus and Durkheimians categories. Elements such as websites, badges and saints bastions, have become important referential that guide the daily life of the Catholics arrangements.
Esta tese analisa quatro comunidades leigas católicas na região do Grande ABC e que denominamos Arranjos Comunitários Alternativos Católicos. São comunidades extra paroquiais constituídas a partir de um fundador e organizadas autonomamente no que diz respeito a um sistema moral, cúltico, símbólico e de networks. Sintonizadas com a modernidade contemporânea e sob a fiscalização do clero local, os arranjos católicos caracterizam-se por uma vida regrada, hierarquizada, voltada ao atendimento de um público-alvo específico recompondo, adaptando, combinando a doutrina religiosa católica com práticas de glossolalia, de cura e libertação da alma. Analisamos por meio de uma pesquisa etnográfica as estruturas organizacionais dos arranjos, os antecedentes sócio-religiosos dos seus membros e sua capacidade de adaptação frente ao entorno social. Constatou-se que os arranjos católicos são espaços que permitem às suas lideranças exercerem com maior autonomia sua catolicidade de caráter mais intimista e espiritualizada. Entendemos que os arranjos católicos são um tipo de catolicismo de consultoria auxiliando os seus clientes na chamada cura interior , ao mesmo tempo que, dispositivos ou braços auxiliadores da ICAR, a fim de mantê-la estrategicamente na modernidade contemporânea. Os elementos que dão coesão e força simbólica às comunidades em questão são analisadas com categorias durkheimianas e bourdianas. Tais elementos, como os sites, emblemas e os santos baluartes, tornaram-se importantes referenciais que direcionam o cotidiano dos arranjos católicos.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores oral communication in St. Gallen through the lens of the linen merchant Johannes Rütiner (1501-1556/7). By reconstructing Rütiner's network of informants and probing four genres of communication within their respective social contexts - jokes, gossip, rumour, and memory narratives -, it explores early modern sociability, the circulation of information, and the relationship between oral testimony, manuscript, and print. Sixteenth-century St. Gallers relied heavily on informal, oral networks to provide them with news and information of all kinds. An individual's access to information was thus to a large degree determined by the social networks within which they spent their life. As St. Gallers sought to secure a place for themselves in such circles, they in turn used jokes, gossip, and information of all kinds as a form of "communicative social capital", allowing them to present themselves as witty, well-connected, and knowledgeable. Rather than treating the instability of oral narratives as evidence of the inherent unreliability of the spoken word, this study proposes to analyse their evolution as a key to early modern mentalities. It also calls into question some of the dominant narratives regarding the printing revolution. Not only did oral communication continue to play a central role in the dissemination of information in the first half of the sixteenth century, but existing systems of "source criticism", developed in the context of dominantly oral networks, moreover cast doubt on the reliability of anonymous prints: because they made their trust in a piece of news conditional on their trust in the messenger, Rütiner and his fellow citizens often preferred oral narratives provided by familiar, trustworthy informants.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors and the interactions between recycling behavior, food buying attitudes, food buying behaviors, and ecological beliefs. Following an introductory chapter, I present an article-length paper on recycling behavior to be submitted to Environment and Behavior. Data for this study came from a telephone survey of Tennessee residents (N=270). Using OLS regression analysis, I find that recycling behavior is significantly related to access to recycling facilities. I do not find a significant interaction effect between access to recycling facilities and willingness to recycle. I conclude by suggesting that pro-environmental policies need to make structural resources more available to all in order to promote recycling (and protect the environment in general). Positive attitudes alone do not get us very far. My additional thesis research goal of developing an accurate measure of ecological food buying attitudes and behaviors needs further work.

Siebach, Jacob Aaron Jess. "The Abacus: A New Approach to Authorization." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2021. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/9221.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the implementation of digital authorization for computer systems, specifically how to implement an efficient and secure authorization engine that uses policies and attributes to calculate authorization. The architecture for the authorization engine is discussed, the efficiency of the engine is characterized by various tests, and the security model is reviewed against other presently existing models. The resulting efforts showed an increase in efficiency of almost two orders of magnitude, along with a reduction in the amount of processing power required to run the engine. The main focus of the work is how to provide precise, performant authorization using policies and attributes in a way that does not require the authorization engine to break domain boundaries by directly accessing data stores. Specifically, by pushing attributes from source domains into the authorization service, domains do not require the authorization service to have access to the data stores of the domain, nor is the authorization service required to have credentials to access data via APIs. This model also allows for a significant reduction in data motion as attributes need only be sent over the network once (when the attribute changes) as opposed to every time that the engine needs the attribute or every time that an attribute cache needs to be refreshed, resulting in a more secure way to store attributes for authorization purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Robot controller cabinets are specified with interfaces which make it possible to connect different modules for completing numerous tasks that are chosen for the robot manipulators. Different interfaces will be utilized depend on the kind of tasks and settings that are chosen. Thus not every interface will be put into use in a controller cabinet, some are left behind. In order to fulfill the encapsulation standards of electrical enclosures, the unoccupied interfaces are covered and sealed with on-screwed cover plates and gaskets during the assembly of the cabinet. However, a new method for encapsulation hope to be investigated and introduced to improve the current solution with respect to the encapsulation requirements from ABB. The introduced new solution is a knockout concept. The detailed design is investigated with the help of finite element analysis with the explicit dynamics method used for simulating the punching processes of the knockout designs. Where three different design variables are put into consideration for finding the most optimum knockout design. The results show that, for the particular steel plate provided by ABB, a V-grooved knockout design with a grooving angle of 90 degrees and an unaffected thickness of 0.1 mm has the best performance in terms of smoothness at edges and the amount of plastic strain occurred in the material. Traditional manufacturing methods to manufacture the obtained knockout design appear to be extremely time consuming and thus not profitable for mass production. However, a type of fairly recent developed grooving machines, the so called V-grooving machine, is believed to be able to solve the manufacturing problem.Robot styrskåp är specificerad med mängder gränssnitt vilket gör det möjligt för anslutning av olika moduler till att kunna fullborda de uppgifterna valda för robot manipulatorerna. Olika gränssnitt utnyttjas beroende på den typ av arbetsuppgift och inställningar valda just för den. Därför kommer inte alla gränssnitt att kunna tas i bruk i ett styrskåp, vissa lämnas kvar. För att kunna uppfylla inkapslingsstandarden för elektriska kapslingar är dessa obesatta gränssnitt täckt och förseglat med påskruvad täckplåtar och packningar under montering av styrskåp. En ny inkapslingsmetod hoppas att kunna utredas och introduceras till att förbättra den nuvarande lösningen med avseende på de inkapslingskraven från ABB. Den introducerade lösningen är ett knockout koncept. En detaljerad konstruktion undersöks med hjälp av finita element analys med explicit dynamik som grunden till att simulera knockout processer. Där tre olika design parametrar tas i beaktande för att hitta den mest optimala knockout konstruktionen. Resultaten visar sig att, för den här särskilda stålplåten som tillhandahålls av ABB, en V-spårad knockout konstruktion med en spårvinkel på 90 grader och en tjocklek på 0.1 mm har den mest tillfredställande prestandan med avseende på jämnhet, d.v.s. reduceringen av vassa kanter, och mängder av plastiska töjningar som inträffas i materialet efter knockout processen. Traditionella tillverkningsmetoder till att tillverka en sådan knockout konstruktion visar sig vara väldigt tidsödande och anses därför inte vara lönsamt för massproduktion. Emellertid upptäcks det en typ av relativt nyutvecklad spårmaskin, så kallad V-grooving machine, som tros att kunna lösa tillverkningsproblemet.

Full textAbstract:
La nostra investigació s'inscriu en la concepció dinàmica de la intel·ligència, i concretament en el processos que configuren el processament cerebral en el Model d'integració de la informació descrit per Das, Kirby i Jarman (1979). Els dos processos cerebrals que constitueixen la base de la conducta intel·ligent són el processament simultani i el processament seqüencial; són les dues estratègies principals del processament de la informació. Tota classe d'estímul és susceptible d'ésser processat o bé seqüencialment (seriació, verbal, anàlisi), o be simultàniament (global, visual, síntesi).
Basant-nos en el recull bibliogràfic i amb la convicció de que apropant-nos al coneixement de les peculiaritats del processament de la informació, ens endinsem en la comprensió del procés que mena a la conducta intel·ligent, i per tant, a l'aprenentatge, formulem la següent hipòtesi de treball: en els nens de preescolar (d'entre els 3 i els sis anys) es donaran aquest dos tipus de processament i variaran en funció de l'edat, el sexe, l'atenció, les dificultats d'aprenentatge, els problemes de llenguatge, el bilingüisme, el nivell sociocultural, la dominància manual, el nivell mental i de la presència de patologia. Les diferències que s'esdevinguin ens permetran de formular criteris i pautes per a la intervenció educativa.
Els nostres objectius es refonen en mesurar el processament en nens de preescolar de les comarques gironines, verificar la relació de cada tipus de processament amb les variables esmentades, comprovar si s'estableix un paral·lelisme entre el processament i les aportacions de concepció localitzacionista de les funcions cerebrals en base als nostres resultats, i pautes per a la intervenció pedagògica.
Quant al mètode, hem seleccionat una mostra representativa dels nens i nenes matriculats a les escoles publiques de les comarques gironines durant el curs 92/93, mitjançant un mostreig aleatori estratificat i per conglomerats. El tamany real de la mostra és de dos-cents seixanta un subjectes.
Els instruments emprats han estat els següents: el Test K-ABC de Kaufman & Kaufman (1983) per a la avaluació del processament; un formulari dirigit als pares per a la recollida de la informació pertinent; entrevistes amb les mestres, i el Test de la Figura Humana de Goodenough.
Pel que fa referència als resultats de la nostra recerca i en funció dels objectius proposats, constatem els fets següents. En els nens de preescolar, amb edats d'entre els tres i els sis anys, es constata l'existència dels dos tipus de processament cerebral, sense que es doni un predomini d'un sobre de l'altre; ambdós processaments actuen interrelacionadament.
Ambdós tipus de processament milloren a mesura que augmenta l'edat, però es constaten diferències derivades del nivell mental: amb un nivell mental normal s'hi associa una millora d'ambdós processaments, mentre que amb un nivell mental deficient només millora fonamentalment el processament seqüencial.
Tanmateix, el processament simultani està més relacionat amb les funcions cognitives complexes i és més nivell mental dependent que el processament seqüencial.
Tant les dificultats d'aprenentatge com els problemes de llenguatge predominen en els nens i nenes amb un desequilibri significatiu entre ambdós tipus de processament; les dificultats d'aprenentatge estan més relacionades amb una deficiència del processament simultani, mentre que els problemes de llenguatge es relacionen més amb una deficiència en el processament seqüencial.
Els nivells socioculturals baixos es relacionen amb resultats inferiors en ambdós tipus de processament.
Per altra part, entre els nens bilingües és més freqüent el processament seqüencial significatiu.
El test de la Figura Humana es comporta com un marcador de processament simultani i el nivell atencional com un marcador de la gravetat del problema que afecta al processament i en el següent ordre: nivell mental deficient, dificultats, d'aprenentatge i problemes de llenguatge . Les deficiències atencionals van lligades a deficiències en el processament simultani i a la presencia de patologia.
Quant a la dominància manual no es constaten diferències en el processament.
Finalment, respecte del sexe només podem aportar que quan un dels dos tipus de processament és deficitari,i es dóna per tant, un desequilibri en el processament, predomina significativament el nombre de nens afectats per sobre del de nenes.
This issue was designed to study cerebral processing as an application of the successive-simultaneous processing model (Das, Kirby and Jarman 1979) in children of our country.
The relationship between K-ABC simultaneous and successive scores and several conditions as well as the relationship between these conditions and qualitative variables was investigated. Also, Goodenough test was added to the study as a complement. Age, sex, attention, learning difficulties, speech problems, bilingualism, sociocultural level, hand dominance, IQ, are conditions considered in the research.
The objectives of the study were to provide conclusions for applicability to learning disabled children and, this way, to assist school teachers in an attempt to ameliorate educational system.
Subject Sample
Random sampling of preschool children living in Girona, region of Catalonia (Spain) was selected for the study. The children ranged in age from 36 to 72 months with a mean age of 61 months (SD-8.07). Students (preschool children) participating in the present study were members of two classrooms, grade 1 (P4) and grade 2 (P5). Two strata were done based on the mode of classroom so sample was representative. Given that children population in Girona region is 7095 we were able to calculate sampling in terms of 262 subjects with proportion factor of 3.702 for each stratum. A peculiarity must be mentioned. Catalonia in Spain has two languages, Catalan and Spanish languages but Catalan immersion is carried out in every school in Catalonia.
Instruments
Ten subtests of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (Kaufnan & Kaufman,1983) were selected for the present study. Seven simultaneous tests were applied: Gestalt Clousure, Triangles, Matrix Analogies, spatial Memory, Photo Series, Magic Window, Face Recognition. According to age, each child took different number of subtests. Three successive tests were administrated: Number Recall, Word Order, Hand Movements. For complete descriptions of tasks refer to Kaufman & Kaufman manual (1983). Also, the analysis reported by Das (1984) has
been considered. In addition to these, the Goodenough test (Harris,1982) was applied as instrument for assessing intellectual stage of development . On the other hand, a questionnaire was done.
Procedure
Parents' permission was sought prior to assessing the children, and in no case were we denied permission. Subjects were tested individually. Testing was carried out in a quiet room at the school. The average time per assessment was 35 minutes. All the testing was conducted in the school by the same author.
Data Analysis
The SPSS program was used to analyze the data. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to describe a relationship between two variables. The t-Student was used to test the significance of differences between means. Chi-Square (x2) test was used to test the significance of differences between proportions. Mantel-Haenszel test was also applied where indicated for determining whether two variables were dependent or independent.
Results and conclusions
The following statements were concluded: (1) Both cognitive processes, successive and simultaneous, were present in the range of 3-6-year-old. No one of the two modes of processing was significantly superior. Both of them work interrelated. (2) Scores are higher with increasing age in successive and simultaneous processing but in the case of the retarded subjects that is true for the successive but not for the simultaneous. (3) Simultaneous processing is more related to complex cognitive functions than successive processing. (4) Learning difficulties and speech problems are more frequent in the case of imbalanced processing. Learning disability is more frequently related to simultaneous processing but speech problems to successive processing. (5) Lower sociocultural children score worse in both cognitive processing. (6) Bilingual children are more frequently successive in the cognitive processing. (7) No differences with respect to hand dominance were found. (8) When one of the two cognitive processing is deficient (imbalanced processing) the number of boys is significantly superior to the number of girls.

Full textAbstract:
This Master thesis is within the area of innovative production. The authors are Master students at Mälardalen University in the field of production and process development. The purpose of the thesis is to design a production development process and to apply it in the case study performed at ABB Control Products in Västerås, Sweden. The new production concept developed is needed due to several changes in production of large size contactors that will take place during 2012; a new product size will be introduced, a new design of current products will be implemented, and production capacity for future increasing demands must be investigated. The approach to generate the production concept has been based on theoretical methods and models with focus on the lean philosophy. Through the theoretical framework a process for production development has been designed with the stages; Planning and Preparation, Current State Analyze, Concept Generation, Concept Analyze and Selection, and Visualization of Concept. The outcome of the thesis project is a mapping and disturbance analyze of current production, and a new production concept with an automation solution and a new balancing of the production line included. Finally the new production concept has been visualized in a 3D-simulation model. The main differences of the new production concept compared to current production is that conveyors are used as transportation system through the entire production process and two parallel flows is used in the production line in aim to shorten the lead time.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the customs and origins of three spring festivals at the shrine of 'Ali b. Abi Talib, Mazar-i Sharif, Afghanistan; namely Nauroz, Janda Bala and Gul-i Surkh. Since these festivals are not part of the Islamic religious calendar, we seek to locate their origins in the pre-Islamic religions of Iran and record the contemporary traditions of these festivals. Since the festivals are assimilated to a shrine dedicated to the fourth Caliph of Sunni Islam, we examine the processes which gave rise to this juxtaposition and how it came about that this shrine came to be considered a rival to Najaf. The Sa1juq and Timurid discovery narratives are examined (Chapters 1-2) in their wider religious and cultural context, followed by an examination of Afghan folklore related to Nauroz and the pre-Islamic religious traditions of Bactria (Chapters 3-4). We conclude that an important impetus for the founding of this shrine is the fact that, until the arrival of Islam, Bactra had been the paramount pilgrimage and cult centre of the region. Over the millennia, whilst the dominant religious tradition had changed, Bactra adapted to such ideological fluctuations in order to maintain its dominance of the. lucrative pilgrimage traffic. Marginalised by Islam, whose heroes and foci of pilgrimage lay in the Arab world, the alleged discovery of the body of Hazrat 'Ali at the site, provided an acceptable Islamic framework for the revival, or continuation, of indigenous Bactrian New Year customs. Our examination of Gul-i Surkh, or 'Red Rose', festival (chapters 5-6) finds a parallel in the Annenian Vardavar festival. Originally this festival appears to have been derived from a blending of Iranian and Babylonian religion in Bactria, namely the cults of Anahita, Adonistrammuz and custoins associated with the Iranian hero, Siyawush. Janda Bala (Chapter 7), on the other hand, appears to be rooted in ancient Vedic and Shamanistic tradition. All three festivals, though, we argue, also represent different aspects of ancient Indo-Aryan and Babylonian fertility rites connected with the spring and vernal equinox.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the presence of poetic form in First and Second Generation New York School Poetry. Because New York School writing—where its existence is conceded—seems formless, it has yet to be viewed under a formal lens. Therefore, this study is the first of its kind. In what follows, works by Frank O’Hara, Ted Berrigan, Alice Notley and Ron Padgett are contextualized and closely read for form, with an attention to the shaping propensity of inhabited spaces. While it is agreed that the external environment has the potential to influence shapes and forms of writing, domestic spaces also offer parameters which are traceable onto the page. New York School poets lived in and wrote from alternative domestic spaces—untidy, disordered, congested apartments in downtown New York City. The forms of their poems are accordingly untraditional. New York School stanzas often take on the contours of these spaces, becoming linguistic rooms riddled with the tensions of indoor urban life. After outlining New York School poetry and addressing contemporaneous urban theories, this study asks: what role does the space of writing have on the shape of writing? More specifically, are New York City apartments reflected in the forms of New York School poems? Through close-reading and formal analysis, it becomes possible to affirm that New York School Poetry is formal, and that its form is distinctive in that in its variances, it makes it possible for the tensions and dynamics of living within the constraints of inner urban spaces to be fully pronounced and inflected. This is a study of the formal representations of those inflections.

Full textAbstract:
Conventional electricity generation, transmission and distribution infrastructures are AC systems, which combine to form an AC grid. Supply security can be increased by interconnecting AC grids. Additionally, there is an increasing reliance on remote asyn-chronous distributed generation from bulk renewable energy sources. High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems allow asynchronous AC networks to be connected, and are able to transmit bulk power over longer distances with a lower total cost-than High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) transmission, or are perhaps the only option. At both ends of a HVDC link, a converter station is required to convert from AC to DC, or vice versa. Originally, these converters were Current Source Converters (CSCs), and later two- or three-level Voltage Source Converters (VSCs).

Doctoral thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för farmaci, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-123419.
Full textAbstract:
Biliary excretion is an important elimination route for many drugs and metabolites. For such compounds, it is important to know the extent of excretion and drug exposure in the bile, e.g., for the risk assessment of drug interactions, liver toxicity and the effects of genetic variants. In this thesis, duodenal aspiration of bile was performed in healthy volunteers and complemented with experiments in an in vivo model in pigs to increase the understanding of the intestinal and hepatobiliary disposition of two direct thrombin inhibitors. The compounds investigated, ximelagatran and AZD0837, are both prodrugs that require bioactivation to exert their pharmacological effect. Upon co-administration with erythromycin and ketoconazole, respectively, altered plasma exposure to ximelagatran and AZD0837 and their respective metabolites has been observed. The main objective of this thesis was to characterize the biliary excretion of the compounds, and investigate whether this elimination route explains the observed drug-drug interactions. High plasma-to-bile AUC ratios were observed, in particular for ximelagatran, its active metabolite melagatran, and AR-H067637, the active metabolite of AZD0837. These high ratios indicate the involvement of active transporters in the biliary excretion of the compounds, which is important since transporters constitute possible sites for drug interactions. The effects of erythromycin and ketoconazole on the plasma exposure of the prodrugs and metabolites were confirmed in both the pig and the clinical studies. The changes seen in plasma for ximelagatran and its metabolites were partly explained by reduced biliary clearance. Inhibited CYP3A4 metabolism likely caused the elevated plasma levels of AZD0837, whereas reduced biliary clearance was seen for AR-H067637 suggesting an effect on its excretion into bile. In summary, the studies led to mechanistic insights in the hepatobiliary disposition of ximelagatran and AZD0837, and demonstrate the value of combined clinical and animal studies for the investigation of the biliary drug excretion.

Full textAbstract:
New Jersey's high school teachers have many responsibilities to their students: they must educate them, work to mold their strength of character, and protect them from harming each other. The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights Act (ABR), legally fortified these goals by protecting students from harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB), at the state level. Previous research has indicated that incident rates for these negative behaviors are growing globally. This reality has driven the need for intervention and prevention programming; however, few instances of successful implementation exist. An important gap remains in the current literature, as there is still a need to understand the teachers' perceptions of their role as the frontline defenders of anti-bullying policies. The primary area of focus for this qualitative study was on the challenges and supports encountered by teachers responsible for implementing their high school's anti-bullying program. Information was gathered using a phenomenological design through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews of 12 high school educators from three unique school districts. Lived experiences were interpreted using Espelage and Swearer's social-ecological system framework and Darley and Latané's bystander theory framework. The findings from this study gave voice to those responsible for implementing the ABR. Significant findings included policies that require reactive interactions with students where proactive measures would have been preferred, a lack of top-down communication, and ineffective prevention and intervention program training materials. An impetus for implementing policy change was established, and the potential for social change was welcomed through a move toward proactive measures in the school setting.

Full textAbstract:
En strömbrytare är en säkerhetsanordning som är utformad för att bryta strömmen om ett problem uppstår. Det finns ett flertal olika typer av brytare beroende vilket spänningsområde som avses. Brytare för lågspänning används för hushållsapparater, medan högspänningstyper används för överföring av spänning i elnätet. Högspänningsbrytare använder idag svavelhexafluorid (SF6)-gas, som ett isolerande medium för att släcka den elektriska ljusbåge som bildas när strömmen bryts. SF6 är dock problematiskt för miljön, då dess globala uppvärmningspotential (GWP) är 23 500 gånger högre jämfört med koldioxid (CO2). Företaget Hitachi ABB Power Grids har utvecklat AirPlus™-tekniken som ersätter SF6-gasen med en koldioxidbaserad gasblandning. Examensarbetet fokuserade på att utvärdera möjligheten att minska användningen av SF6 genom AirPlus™-tekniken och hur tekniken skulle kunna en introduceras på marknaden. Slutligen så utvecklades en strategi för hur detta skulle kunna ske. Studien innefattar den bakomliggande informationsinhämtningen och analysen av data, marknadsutvärdering och utvecklingen av marknadsstrategin. Detta utfördes genom att utvärdera AirPlus™-tekniken och dess konkurrenter, samt genom en kvalitativ och kvantitativ analys av implementeringen av LTA 420 kV-brytaren på marknaden. Sammanfattningsvis så visar studien att marknadsintroduktionen av strömbrytaren LTA 420 kV är genomförbar. Även om koldioxid tekniskt inte har samma prestanda som SF6, är tekniken fortfarande bra och ger starka kundfördelar: GWP minskar med över 99,9%, användningen överensstämmer med miljöregler, den ger lägre ägandekostnader, färre kontroller, lägre kostnad för hantering av koldioxidgasen, och fungerar väl vid extremt låga temperaturer. De viktigaste utmaningarna för Hitachi ABB Power Grids relaterar till konkurrensen på marknaden. Det är därför tillrådligt att företaget arbetar med en effektiv marknadsintroduktion för att säkerställa en stor marknadsandel.A circuit breaker is a safety device designed to interrupt power if a problem is detected. There are several kinds of circuit breakers for different applications. Low-voltage circuit breakers are used for household appliances, while high-voltage types are used for transmission networks. High-voltage circuit breakers use sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas as an insulating medium, which extinguishes the electric arc that is formed when power is cut. However, it is a huge hazard for the environment, as its global warming potential (GWP) is 23,500 times higher than that of CO2 gas. The company Hitachi ABB Power Grids developed the AirPlus™ technology, which replaces the SF6 gas with a carbon dioxide (CO2) based gas mixture. The presented degree project has evaluated the feasibility of reducing the use of SF6 through the AirPlus™ technology and then developed a strategy for the company Hitachi ABB Power Grids for the market introduction of the eco-efficient LTA 420 kV circuit breaker. This study covers the background research, market evaluation, and market strategy. It was done through research about the AirPlus™ technology and its competitors, so as qualitative and quantitative analysis of the LTA 420 kV circuit breaker implementation in the market. In conclusion, the study shows that the market introduction of the LTA 420 kV circuit breaker is feasible. Although CO2 is not as good an insulation medium as SF6, it is still good and presents strong customer benefits: GWP reduced by over 99.9%, compliance with new regulations, lower cost of ownership, fewer regulatory controls, reduced cost of handling the gas, and well-functioning at extremely low temperatures. The main concerns for Hitachi ABB Power Grids are related to market competition. Thus, it is advisable that the company works on an effective market introduction to assure a large market share.

Heloísa Marinho, Celina Airlie Nina, Nazira Féres Abi-Sáber and Odilon de Andrade Filho have a range of bibliographic production, and research articles regarding the understanding of the child under 06 years in Brazil. Anchored directly to government agencies of their period, the authors sought to present their works in pedagogical ideas for the Early Childhood Education. Faced with this observation, we aimed to understand: The conceptions that concern the School movement would have been appropriate in Brazilian Early childhood education? How the ideals of John Dewey were implemented for the education of children under 06 years? So the main research hypothesis is the incorporation of educational ideas of John Dewey occurred in the core of the hygienist/assistentialist movement, which could have led to distortions and theoretical and methodological mistakes in the use of the Dewey school theory. Thus, our objective is: apprehend and analyze how the educational conceptions of John Dewey were appropriate to "think" the Brazilian Early Childhood Education from to 1934 to1971. As methodological procedures we base our analysis on the theoretical and methodological support of Depaepe (2000; 2005) and Certeau (2008) with regard to the consideration of the research object in its historical context, but also consider the assumptions highlighted by Depaepe (2000; 2005 ) on the "black box" of the classroom, "grammar of schooling" and educacionalization process. Therefore we conducted a literature review about the output for the children under 06 years, considering the period defined for this research. This survey, however, was made in the following journals: Revista Educação, Revista Sociedade e Educação and Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos. Regarding proposals to lower education than 06 years in Brazil, it was possible to understand the political and pedagogical demands for this field. In this sense, we sought from the selected material understand the circularity of the ideas that were present in the context of life and production of the four authors selected as the object of our study. Heloisa Marinho, Celina Airlie Nina, Nazira Féres Abi-Saber and Odilon de Andrade Filho highlighted by the direct relationship with government agencies set up at the time to provide the shelter, protection and educational projects for young children in Brazil, among which out: the National Department of Children; National Institute of Pedagogical Studies (INEP); Brazilian-American Assistance Program Elementary Education (PABAEE) and the Center for Studies and Research Helena Antipoff the Pestalozzi Society of Brazil. These authors can be considered active and immersed in national and international debates in the field of Early Childhood Education, with: materials, discussions, guidelines, analysis and activity descriptions for the children. From the analysis of all this material it was found that the set of conceptions present in the New Education ideas were appropriated by these authors, but were used as species of "slogans" that represented the ideas of Dewey, Decroly, Montessori, Froebel, Pestalozzi and Claparede; these appeared as a discourse of "reform" and consequently thus "improving" for the Early Childhood Education.
Heloísa Marinho, Celina Airlie Nina, Nazira Féres Abi-Sáber e Odilon de Andrade Filho apresentam uma gama de produções bibliográficas, artigos e pesquisas no que se refere à compreensão da criança menor de 06 anos no Brasil. Ancorados diretamente às agências governamentais de seu período, os autores procuraram apresentar em suas obras ideias pedagógicas para a educação das crianças pequenas. Perante a essa observação, buscamos compreender: As concepções que tangem o movimento escolanovista teriam sido apropriadas na Educação infantil brasileira? De que forma os ideais de John Dewey foram transpostos para a educação dos menores de 06 anos? Assim, a hipótese principal pesquisa é a de que a incorporação das ideias educacionais de John Dewey ocorreu no bojo do movimento higienista/assistencialista e, no campo específico da educação de crianças menores de 06 anos essas ideias misturaram-se com as diretrizes voltadas para o cuidado (saúde) infantil, o que pode ter gerado distorções e equívocos teórico-metodológicos na utilização da teoria Deweyana. Dessa forma, nosso objetivo geral é: apreender e analisar como as concepções educacionais de John Dewey foram apropriadas para se “pensar” a Educação Infantil Brasileira entre 1934 e 1971. Como procedimentos metodológicos pautamos nossa análise no aporte teórico-metodológico de Depaepe (2000; 2005) e Certeau (2008) no que se refere à consideração do objeto de pesquisa em seu contexto histórico, como também consideramos as premissas apontadas por Depaepe (2000; 2005), sobre a: “caixa preta” da sala de aula, “gramar of schooling” e o processo de educacionalização. Para tanto realizamos um levantamento bibliográfico a respeito das produções destinadas aos menores de 06 anos, considerando o período delimitado para essa pesquisa. Esse levantamento, no entanto, foi feito nos seguintes periódicos: Revista Educação, Revista Sociedade e Educação e Revista Brasileira de Estudos Pedagógicos. Com relação às propostas para a educação do menor de 06 anos no Brasil, com isso, foi possível compreender as demandas políticas e pedagógicas para esse campo. Nesse sentido, buscou-se a partir do material selecionado compreender a circularidade das ideias que se fizeram presentes no contexto de vida e produção dos quatro autores selecionados como objeto de nosso estudo. Heloísa Marinho, Celina Airlie Nina, Nazira Féres Abi-Sáber e Odilon de Andrade Filho destacaram-se pela relação direta com as agências governamentais criadas na época para prover o amparo, proteção e propostas educativas para as crianças pequenas no Brasil, dentre as quais se destacam: o Departamento Nacional da Criança (DNCr); Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos (INEP); Programa de Assistência Brasileiro-Americana ao Ensino Elementar (PABAEE) e com o Centro de Estudos e Pesquisas Helena Antipoff da Sociedade Pestalozzi do Brasil. Assim, esses autores podem ser considerados ativos e imersos nos debates nacionais e internacionais no campo da Educação Infantil, com: materiais, discussões, diretrizes, análises e descrições de atividades para os pequeninos. A partir da análise de todo esse material foi possível constatar que o conjunto de concepções presentes no ideário da Educação Nova foi apropriado por esses autores, porém foram utilizados como espécies de “slogans/bandeiras” que representados pelas ideias de Dewey, Decroly, Montessori, Froebel, Pestalozzi e Claparède; apareceram como um discurso de “reformar” e, consequentemente “melhorar” a educação dos pequenos.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga organisationskultur inom folkrörelseorganisationer samt att undersöka dess eventuella förändringar under påverkan av kulturpolitiken. Denna studie tillämpar Geert Hofstedes teorier som behandlar olika nivåer och dimensioner av organisationskultur. Studien behandlar värderingar, ritualer, hjältar och symboler inom varje organisation i fråga i ett sammanhang av organisatoriska praktiker som meningsbärande kulturella uttryck. Studien har genomförts med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt där semistrukturerade intervjuer utförts med hjälp av ett bekvämlighetsrvalsstrategi. Datainsamlingen har genomförts genom personliga intervjuer med fyra medarbetare på två folkrörelseorganisationer i Stockholm d.v.s. ABF och Riksteatern. De valda Organisationerna är verksamma inom olika verksamhetsområde och respondenterna har jobbat i varierande positioner och har fleråriga arbetserfarenheter. Intervjuerna spelades in efter beviljat tillstånd och säkerställandet av respondenternas anonymitet. En innehållsanalys genomfördes efter transkribering av inspelat material i form av citat och egna tolkningar. Studien behandlar också en del sekundärdata i form av historisk information om folkrörelsernas samhälleliga rötter och utvecklingsprocess. Studien visar en ständigt pågående omorganiseringsprocess inom folkrörelseorganisationer vilket orsakat signifikanta förändringar inom folkrörelsernas organisationskultur. Konflikten mellan folkrörelsernas ideella logiker och kulturpolitikens kvalitetslogik uppträder i organisationskulturen på olika sätt. ABF:s kärnvärderingar nämligen hjälpsamhet, jämlikhet och högt arbetsengagemang anses vara mindre aktuella idag. Hjälpsamhet och jämlikhet ligger också till grund för Riksteaterns demokratiseringsverksamhet och anses fortfarande vara aktuella i organisationen. När det gäller ABF har vi funnit att organisationen har utvecklat en professionell och icke-normativ organisationskultur med stränga kontrollmekanismer och stor fokus på arbetsutförande och processansvar i ett slut organisationssystem. Stränga kontrollmekanismer anses vara ett resultat av kulturpolitikens krav på ökad internkontroll och kvalitetssäkring. Studien visar att Riksteatern har utvecklat en komplex mångsidig organisationskultur som finns i två sammanhängande lager. En lokal, personalinriktad och normativ arbetskrets som omger sig med professionella, resultatinriktade och pragmatiska medarbetare. Detta leder till en normativ organisationskultur som erbjuder pragmatiska lösningar i syfte att kunna leva upp till kulturdepartementets krav på hög kvalitet, resurseffektivitet och antalet besökare. Det finns en tendens mot professionalism och pragmatism inom båda organisationerna. Detta kan bero på att båda organisationerna är ekonomiskt beroende av statliga bidrag och därför ska leva upp till kulturpolitikens kvalitetskrav. Detta ledde också till svagt normativt engagemang och ett slags samhällelig passivitet. Vi har också funnit att betoningen på kvantitativ utvärdering inte är en fungerande strategi för utvärdering av ideell kulturverksamhet. Istället har detta orsakat paradoxala uppdrag och identitetsförvirring inom organisationerna enligt våra respondenter.The purpose of this paper is to provide a systematic description of the organizational culture in social movement organizations in Sweden and also to investigate its possible changes under the impact of cultural policy. The following study has been done using Geert Hofstede’s theories on different levels and dimensions of organizational culture. The study explores the organizational values, rituals, heroes and symbols in the context of organizational practices to be examined as meaningful cultural representations. This study has been done based on qualitative research method using semi-structured interviews and convenience sampling strategy for data collection. The data has been collected through personal interviews with four employees from two social movement organizations in Stockholm and from different areas of practice; The Swedish National Touring Theatre (Riksteatern) and The Workers’ Educational Association (ABF). The respondents have been working in variety of positions and have many years of experience. The interviews have been recorded as audio files after granting permission and ensuring the respondents’ anonymity to be preserved. A content analysis has been done following the transcription of the recorded material in the form of quotes and interpretations. Secondary data has been also used in the form of historical information regarding the origins of Swedish social movements and their development process. Our study shows that there is a constantly ongoing reorganization process in the Swedish social movements which has caused significant changes in the social movements’ organizational culture. The conflict between the logic of the social movements and the quality-oriented logic of the Swedish cultural policy emerges in the organizational culture in different ways. ABF’s core values such as benevolence, equality and high work engagement are considered to be less relevant in the current organizational culture. Benevolence and equality are also the core values of Riksteatern and are still considered to be relevant in the current organizational culture. When it comes to ABF, we have found that the organization has developed a professional and pragmatic organizational culture with strict control mechanisms and huge focus on task performance and processes in a closed-system organization. The strict control mechanisms are considered to be the result of the Swedish cultural policy’s requirements regarding internal control and quality assurance. The study shows that Riksteatern has developed a complex multidimensional organizational culture which exists in two interrelated layers. A local, employee-oriented and normative work circle surrounded by professional, result-oriented and pragmatic coworkers. This leads to a normative organizational culture which offers pragmatic solutions in order to be able to meet the ministry of culture’s requirements regarding high quality, resource efficiency and visitor numbers. There’s a tendency towards professionalism and pragmatism in both organizations. This might depend on the fact that both organizations are economically dependent to public funds and therefore are required to meet the cultural policy’s quality requirements. This leads also to a low normative engagement and societal passivity. We have also found that the emphasis on the quantitative evaluation ad revision is not an effective strategy to evaluate nonprofit cultural organization. Instead, this strategy has caused paradoxical missions and confusion regarding organizational identity, according to our respondents.

A leishmaniose tegumentar (LT) possui diferentes vetores e agentes etiol?gicos em todo o pa?s, tem ampla distribui??o, e apesar da menor gravidade, causa s?rias les?es desfigurantes e incapacitantes em todas as regi?es, principalmente na regi?o Norte. ? relevante a introdu??o de estrat?gias de preven??o que venham a modificar as a??es humanas por meio da informa??o e sensibiliza??o para o problema, sendo a literatura de cordel um instrumento educativo que atrai por sua conota??o l?dica e informal, despertando a aten??o das pessoas. O presente estudo buscou, portanto, conhecer os flebotom?neos de uma Unidade de Conserva??o da Mata Atl?ntica e seu entorno, bem como alguns fatores bi?ticos e abi?ticos relacionados ? sua ocorr?ncia, al?m de testar a utiliza??o do cordel como ferramenta informativa sobre o tema. O estudo aconteceu durante tr?s anos na ?rea interna e externa da Floresta Nacional (Flona) de N?sia Floresta, localizada no munic?pio de N?sia Floresta, regi?o metropolitana de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, utilizando-se armadilhas Shannon e CDC. Foi produzido um cordel, em seu formato cl?ssico, intitulado ?Um bebedor de sangue na terra do mandacaru - Peleja contra o calazar?, para a??es de educa??o em sa?de com a popula??o residente no entorno da Flona e com alunos de escolas do munic?pio. Foram coletados e identificados 82.638 flebotom?neos das esp?cies Evandromyia evandroi, Evandromyia lenti, Evandromyia walkeri, Evandromyia sallesi, Lutzomyia longipalpis, Micropygomyia schreiberi, Nyssomyia intermedia, Nyssomyia whitmani, Psathyromyia abonnenci, Psathyromyia brasiliensis, Psathyromyia shannoni, Psychodopygus wellcomei e Sciopemyia sordellii. Os flebotom?neos foram mais abundantes junto ao solo do ambiente silvestre, apesar de tamb?m serem abundantes junto ?s copas e no peridomic?lio rural. Evandromyia walkeri foi a esp?cie mais abundante, representando 76% de todos os flebotom?neos coletados, sendo importante outras investiga??es acerca dessa esp?cie. Lutzomyia longipalpis, E. evandroi e E. lenti demonstraram prefer?ncia pelos ambientes antropizados. Esse estudo comprova a elevada antropofilia de P. wellcomei, que se mostra ativo durante quase todo o dia no ambiente silvestre, bem como sua rela??o com os meses chuvosos. Com base no conhecimento da bioecologia dos flebotom?neos vetores das leishmanioses na ?rea, espera-se que esse trabalho possa contribuir com estrat?gias de preven??o e controle das leishmanioses no Nordeste.O cordel teve grande aceita??o por parte dos estudantes da EJA e a experi?ncia demonstrou que esse pode ser um importante meio para a dissemina??o de informa??es acerca da leishmaniose visceral, regionalizando as estrat?gias, sensibilizando e divulgando um tema t?o importante em sa?de p?blica.
Leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem in Brazil, caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania transmitted by sand flies, small insects of the order Diptera whose females are hematophagous. The main vector of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), or kala-azar, in the Americas is Lutzomyia longipalpis while Leishmania infantum is the etiological agent. In Brazil, the Northeastern Region stands out with the highest incidence of VL cases, especially among the most disadvantaged groups of society. Tegumentary leishmaniasis (TL) has different vectors and etiological agents throughout the country, a wide distribution, and despite its lower severity, it causes serious disfiguring and disabling lesions all over the country, especially in the North Region. It is relevant to introduce prevention strategies, through information and consciousness of the problem, in order to modify deleterious anthropic actions. Cordel folk literature has proved to be an educational instrument with potential use to address this issue, since it attracts by its playful and informal connotations and awakens the attention of people of different age groups. This study aimed, therefore, to know the sand flies fauna at an Atlantic Forest Conservation Unit and its surroundings, as well as some factors related to their occurrence, in addition to testing the use of cordel literature as an informative tool on the subject. The study took place over three years in the internal and external area of the N?sia Floresta National Forest (Flona) located in the city of N?sia Floresta, metropolitan region of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, using Shannon and CDC traps. A cordel pamphlet in its classic format was produced, entitled "A blood drinker in the land of mandacaru - fight against kala-azar," for health educational activities among the population living in the vicinity of the Flona and students. The use of the cordel was validated through questionnaires applied to students of the Education of Young and Adults Program. The pamphlet approaches the transmission, symptoms, treatment and prophylaxis of the disease. There were collected and identified 82,638 sand flies of the species Evandromyia evandroi, Evandromyia lenti, Evandromyia walkeri, Evandromyia sallesi, Lutzomyia longipalpis, Micropygomyia schreiberi, Nyssomyia intermedia, Nyssomyia whitmani, Psathyromyia abonnenci, Psathyromyia brasiliensis, Psathyromyia shannoni, Psychodopygus wellcomei and Sciopemyia sordellii. Phlebotomines were more abundant near the soil of the wild environment, although they were also abundant near the canopy and in the rural peridomicille. L. walkeri was the most abundant species, representing 76% of all sandflies collected, and other investigations about this species are important. L. longipalpis, E. evandroi and E. lenti showed preference for anthropized environments. This study confirms the high anthropophilic behavior of P. wellcomei, which is active throughout the day in the wild, as well as its relationship with the rainy months. Based on the knowledge of the bioecology of sand flies vectors of leishmaniasis in the study area, as well as the factors involved in its occurrence, it is expected that this work may contribute to strategies for the prevention and control of leishmaniasis in Northeastern Brazil. The cordel literature was widely accepted by students and the experience has shown that this may be an important way for dissemination of information about visceral leishmaniasis. It is also desired that the regionalization of educational strategies through cordel literature can contribute to the dissemination of knowledge, sensitizing the community and disseminating such an important subject in public health.

En les últimes dècades, s'ha produït una revolució en el camp de la investigació en biologia, concretament en genètica i biotecnologia. Aquest desenvolupament científic ha deixat una fissura entre els estudis de la comunitat científica i el coneixement dels ciutadans. Per tal d'involucrar a la societat en els processos de presa de decisions sobre la legislació científica, es necessiten ciutadans informats, que siguin capaços de prendre decisions raonades basades en conclusions científiques tenint en compte les consideracions ètiques i morals. Els professors juguen un rol crític i central en el sistema educatiu i són el col•lectiu amb influència en la propera generació.
L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és explorar el coneixement i les actituds en biotecnologia dels estudiants de magisteri d'un país Nòrdic (Suècia) i un país del Sud (Espanya) d'Europa. A partir dels resultats obtinguts, s'ha desenvolupat una nova activitat educativa per alfabetitzar biotecnològicament als futurs professors.
Primerament s'ha creat un nou qüestionari per analitzar quins són els coneixements i les actituds dels estudiants de magisteri. Les dades s'han analitzat de manera quantitativa. Els resultats mostren que els estudiants de magisteri d'Espanya i Suècia estan interessats en temes de biotecnologia encara que els seus coneixements en genètica bàsica estan per sota dels esperats. A partir d'aquests primers resultats, s'ha desenvolupat una nova activitat basada en Aprenentatge Basat en Problemes (ABP), l’objectiu de la qual és d'incrementar el coneixement dels futurs professors sobre temes de genètica bàsica. Un qüestionari previ i un de final han estat creats per tal de validar l'eficiència de la nova eina educativa. Un cop obtingudes les dades, han estat analitzades tant qualitativa com quantitativament. Finalment, després de participar en l’activitat s'ha demostrat una millora significativa del coneixement dels estudiant i una forta implicació en l’activitat.En las ultimas décadas, se ha producido una revolución en el campo de la investigación en biología y más concretamente de la genética y la biotecnología.

Over the past decades, there has been a revolution in the field of biology research and, more concretely, in biotechnology and genetic fields. This scientific development has led to a huge gap between what scientific comunity studies and what citizens know. In order to involve society in the decision-making process about scientific policies, we need well-informed citizens who are able to make thoughtful decisions based on scientific conclusions combined with ethical and moral considerations. The forefront to educate new generations is teacher. Teachers play a critical and central role in the education system and they are therefore an influential collective because they become teachers of the next generation. The purpose of this thesis is to explore knowledge and attitudes towards biotechnology of pre-service teachers from a Northern (Sweden) and Southern (Spain) countries. After that it is developed a new educational activity in order to make future teachers literate of biotechnology. First, it was created a new questionnaire in order to analyse the knowledge, and attitudes of pre-service teachers. Data is analysed in a quantitative method. The results show that pre-service teachers from Spain and Sweden are interested in biotechnology topics and this research has also shown that their knowledge about basics genetics is lower than expected. Due to these first results, a new Problem-Based Learning (PBL) educational material has been developed. The aim of this educational material is to increase pre-service teacher’s knowledge about genetics topics. A pre and post-test was created in order to validate the efficacy of this new educational tool, then data is analysed in a quantitative and qualitative approach. Finally, a significanlty increase of student’s knowledge is proved with taking part of the learning activity. Moreover, most of the students involved in the activity expressed that they were feeling engaged to this educational dynamic.

De faibles concentrations de cholestérol associé aux HDL (HDL-C) est un facteur de risque indépendant des maladies cardiovasculaires (MCV). Les HDL sont capables de réaliser de l’efflux de lipides des tissus périphériques pour assurer son retour vers le foie, et ont des rôles athéroprotecteurs. Le travail mené ici vise à identifier de nouveaux acteurs impliqués dans la détermination des fonctions des HDL. Le transporteur ABCG1 réalise de l’efflux de cholestérol, de phospholipides (PL), ou encore de vitamines à partir des macrophages périphériques vers les HDL. Nous avons montré que la stimulation de l’expression d’ABCG1 dans l’hépatocyte favorisait un réarrangement du contenu des HDL en PL. Ce remodelage est associé à une amélioration de la capacité d’efflux de cholestérol des HDL et de leur fonction anti-inflammatoire. En parallèle, des études épidémiologiques nous ont permis d’identifier ZNF471, nouveau facteur de transcription. Il semble capable de moduler l’expression et l’activité de protéines clés du métabolisme des lipides, via une régulation épigénétique impactant la méthylation de l’ADN : ZNF471 dans les hépatocytes augmente la méthylation de l’ADN sur la région promotrice du gène codant la CETP. En conséquence, l’expression du gène et l’activité protéique de la CETP sont réduits, ce qui favorise l’accumulation de HDL-C. De plus, les capacités d’efflux de cholestérol des HDL sont également stimulées par ZNF471. Ces travaux de recherche permettent l’identification de nouveaux acteurs du métabolisme des lipoprotéines HDL. Ils ouvrent ainsi la voie à de nouvelles explorations thérapeutique et mécanistique sur les rôles des HDL dans les MCV liées à l’athéroscléroseSince low concentrations of High-Density Lipoproteins-cholesterol (HDL-C) are associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, HDL are recognized as protective in atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD). Indeed, HDL promote lipid efflux from macrophages and other atheroprotective activities. Here, we aimed to identify new factors implicated in the determination of atheroprotective functions of HDL. ATP-Binding Cassette G1 (ABCG1) transporter perform cholesterol, phospholipids or vitamin efflux from peripheral macrophages to HDL. We showed that ABCG1 expression in hepatocytes promoted HDL phospholipid content rearrangement. This HDL remodeling is associated with a better cholesterol efflux capacity and an improvement of their anti-inflammatory properties. Simultaneously, epidemiological studies allow us to identify a novel transcription factor, ZNF471 (Zinc Finger Protein 471). ZNF471 seems to modulate expression and activity of key proteins implicated in lipid metabolism, through epigenetic DNA methylation regulation. We highlighted that ZNF471 expression in hepatocytes increased DNA methylation in CETP (Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein) gene promoter region. As a consequence, CETP gene expression and protein activity were diminished, which raised HDL-C circulating concentrations. We also pointed out that ZNF471 expression stimulated HDL cholesterol efflux capacities. This work allows the identification of novels genetic and epigenetic actors in determining HDL lipoproteins activities. It paves the way for new therapeutic and mechanistic insights on the roles of HDL in ASCVD

Full textAbstract:
O objetivo central desta tese é estudar o percurso artístico e intelectual de Leon Hirszman a partir dos filmes Que país é este? (1976-77), ABC da greve (1979- 90) e Eles não usam black-tie (1981). Discutindo as relações entre cinema e História, a pesquisa se concentra nas práticas culturais, estéticas e ideológicas do realizador, procurando analisar as interpretações que ele mobilizou em torno do Brasil durante a vigência do regime militar. A despeito de Hirszman ter consolidado a sua trajetória como integrante do Cinema Novo, questão que percorre as páginas deste doutorado, propõe-se também uma aproximação entre a sua obra e o projeto dramatúrgico construído por autores oriundos do Teatro de Arena. Na década de 1970, face à crise que se instalou no campo cultural da esquerda, em especial o colapso da crença revolucionária anterior a 1964 e o refluxo da leitura do povo como vanguarda heroica para uma transformação do mundo, o cineasta se aproximaria do revisionismo artístico proposto, principalmente, por Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, Paulo Pontes e Vianinha. Mantendo em seus filmes uma abordagem politizada da classe popular, sem abdicar da figura do intelectual como mediador de denúncias contra a ditadura, o diretor se voltaria para uma produção em sintonia com o viés comunista de engajamento, em diálogo com a tradição do realismo crítico e disposta a elaborar narrativas e registros documentais em confronto ao autoritarismo dos militares. Nesse sentido, mesmo sem partilhar do ideário do novo sindicalismo surgido sobretudo entre os metalúrgicos da cidade paulista de São Bernardo do Campo, Hirszman deslocaria a figura do operário para o centro do processo criativo de ABC da greve e de Black-tie, representando-o em uma chave próxima à resistência articulada pelo Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), na qual o trabalhador seria visto como parte de uma ampla frente organizada para superar a ditadura e atuar em prol da redemocratização. Uma obra realizada com o intuito de responder aos dilemas sociais de seu contexto histórico, a propor uma abordagem particular sobre a classe popular e a militância antiautoritária, a partir de leituras e experiências estéticas construídas em meio aos impasses que percorreram a esquerda política e cultural na segunda metade dos anos 1970.The main goal of this thesis is to study Leon Hirszman\'s artistic and intellectual trajectory through the films Que país é este? (1976-77), ABC da greve (1979-90) and They don\'t wear black-tie (1981). Discussing the relation between film and History, the research concentrates itself on the cultural, aesthetic and ideological practices of the director, aiming to analyze his interpretations about Brazil during its military dictatorship. Despite Hirszman\'s consolidated career as a member of the Cinema Novo movement, issue that is described during this doctoral thesis, it also proposes an approach of his work with the dramaturgical project originated by authors from the Teatro de Arena. On the 1970\'s, in virtue of the crisis installed in the left wing\'s cultural sphere, specially the collapse of the revolutionary belief preceding 1964 and the retrocession of the interpretation placing the people as the heroic vanguard leading a structural transformation, the filmmaker would court the artistic revisionism proposed by Gianfrancesco Guarnieri, Paulo Pontes and Vianinha. Maintaining a politicized approach about the popular class on his films, without abdicating the image of the intellectual as a mediator of denounces against the dictatorship, the director would proceed to a production in tune with the communist\'s active participation project, establishing a dialogue with the tradition of critical realism, willing to elaborate narratives and documental registers confronting with the authoritarian way of the military. In this sense, even without sharing the ideology originated from the newly born trade unionism, especially among the steelworkers from São Bernardo do Campo\'s city, Hirszman shifted the figure of the worker, making it the core of the creative process of ABC da greve and Black-tie. In these movies, it was represented as a key-piece close to the resistance articulated by the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), in which it was seen as part of a large front, organized to overcome the military regime and act in favor of the country\'s redemocratization. A work realized with the intention of responding to the social dilemmas of its time, proposing a singular approach about the popular class and the anti-authoritarian militancy, originating interpretations and aesthetic experiences constructed among conflicts that filled the left-wing politic and cultural manifestations on the second half of the seventies.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is the application of counterfactual criticism to Shakespearean tragedy—supposing we are to ask, for example, “what if” Hamlet had done the deed, or, “what if” we could somehow disinherit our knowledge of Lear’s madness before reading King Lear. Such readings, mirroring critical practices in history, will loosely be called “counterfactual” readings. The key question to ask is not why tragedies are no longer being written (by writers), but why tragedies are no longer being felt (by readers). Tragedy entails a certain urgency in wanting to imagine an outcome different from the one we are given. Since we cannot change events as they stand, we feel a critical helplessness in dealing with feelings of tragic loss; the critical imperative that follows usually accounts for how the tragedy unfolded. Fleshing out a cause is one way to deal with the trauma of tragedy. But such explanation, in a sense, merely explains tragedy away. The fact that everything turns out so poorly in tragedy suggests that the tragic protagonist was somehow doomed, that he (in the case of Shakespearean tragedy) was the victim of some “tragic flaw,” as though tragedy and necessity go hand in hand. Only by allowing ourselves to imagine other possibilities can we regain the tragic effect, which is to remind ourselves that other outcomes are indeed possible. Tragedy, then, is more readily understood, or felt, as the playing out of contingency. It takes some effort to convince others, even ourselves, that the tragic effect resonates best when accompanied by an understanding that the characters on the page are free individuals. No amount of foreknowledge, on our part or theirs, can save us (or them) from tragedy’s horror.

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado examina o tema Utopias/Distopias e o discurso totalitário em duas obras de caráter e gênero distintos: A República, de Platão (Filosofia), e Admirável Mundo Novo, de Aldous Huxley (Literatura). Tendo como objetivo principal a comparação de elementos narrativos, temáticos e ideológicos encontrados nessas duas obras, utiliza como metodologia a análise embasada em referenciais da Literatura Comparada e da Teoria da Literatura (Narratologia e a Tematologia), da Análise do Discurso Francesa, dos estudos da obra de Platão e de estudos sociológicos. Esta análise segue a sequência de apresentação dos pressupostos teóricos, análise das obras de Platão e de Huxley (em seus aspectos internos e externos), para, finalmente, apresentar um quadro comparativo com os discursos totalitários retirados dessas obras - discursos esses que são analisados em pormenores. Por fim, esta Dissertação culmina com a compreensão de que o tema utopia/distopia, e os discursos acerca dele, não se restringe somente à literatura ficcional, mas pode ser encontrado em estudos filosóficos e políticos, e no nosso dia a dia.This thesis examines the theme of Utopia/Dystopia and the totalitarian discourse in two works of different nature and genre: Plato's Republic (a work of Philosophy) and Brave New World (a work of Literature) by Aldous Huxley. The thesis' main objective is to compare narrative, thematic and ideological elements. In order to perform this analysis, the author will make use of methodologies taken from Comparative Literature, Literary Theory (Narratology and Thematology), the French school of Discourse Analysis, studies on Plato's works and sociological studies. After presenting and explaining those theoretical references, the author shall perform an analysis of Plato's and Huxley's works, considering their internal and external aspects; afterwards, a final analysis shall be performed, comparing the totalitarian discourses contained within those works. After examining minutely those discourses, the thesis concludes by stating that the theme of Utopia/Dystopia is not restricted to fictional literature; it can be found, also, within the frame of philosophical and political studies, and in our day-to-day lives.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

The ABC Family cable network has become a leader in television for the millennial audience through a strategy of increased diversity on screen and an emphasis on complexity in family life. These goals have both been aided by representing Latina/o characters in the network’s flagship series: The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Pretty Little Liars, Switched at Birth, and The Fosters. In this thesis I engage in industrial, textual, and discourse analysis of these series, finding that Latina/o representation is increasing in both quantity and quality as network executives and producers attempt to appeal to the ethnically diverse millennial generation. These attempts, however, are not perfect. This project pinpoints a span of time in which ABC Family shifts towards more Latina/o inclusion both on-screen and behind the camera. At the same time, ABC Family programming dominates ratings in its key millennial demographic, indicating a correlation (of undetermined causation) between increased Latina/o representation and ratings.text

The phytohormone, abscisic acid (ABA) regulates many aspects in plant development including seed formation, dormancy and germination. Several putative ABA receptors have been reported in recent years; however the validity of some of these reports has been seriously questioned. We have investigated the role of these proteins in cereal aleurone tissue where well-defined ABA responses can be analyzed with precision. These putative ABA receptors or regulatory proteins include FCA (flowering time control protein a), CHLH (H subunit of chloroplast Mg2+-chelatase), GTG (GPCR-Type G protein), and RPK (receptor-like protein kinase). All these genes were overexpressed or suppressed by RNAi in cereal aleurone cells to investigate their effects on hormone signaling in aleurone tissue consisting of a single cell type responsive to gibberellin (GA) and ABA. GFP fusion proteins of these regulators were also expressed to study their cellular localization. ABA induction of LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) protein genes was enhanced by over-expression of FCA, but significantly suppressed by FCA RNAi or CHLH RNAi. Simultaneous repression of the expression of all four regulatory proteins further blocked the ABA induction of LEA genes. However, the other two signaling pathways, i.e. GA induction and ABA suppression of α-amylase, were not affected by overexpression or repression of FCA, RPK, GTG or CHLH genes. Furthermore, the suppressive effect of GTG RNAi was partially overcome by overexpression of FCA, suggesting that this nucleus-localized regulator may work downstream from GTG. This independent pathway could be blocked by the mutant form of protein phosphatase 2C, ABI1, suggesting interplay between the PYR/PYL/RCAR receptor system and these regulators. The role of FCA has been more extensively investigated in the cereal aleurone cells because it was first isolated from this tissue. Following a multidisciplinary approach combining molecular genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and physiology, we have obtained strong evidence to suggesting that FCA is an important enhancer in ABA signaling in cereal grain germination. Epistasis studies indicated that FCA works upstream from VP1/ABI5,which are important signaling molecules/transcription factors involved in ABA up-regulation of LEA protein expression. The FCA-GFP fusion protein is initially localized in the cytoplasm with a punctate pattern but then gradually translocated into the nucleus. This cytosol-to-nucleus translocation of FCA was further enhanced by ABA treatment. Both yeast and in planta two-hybrid studies revealed that FCA interacts with VP1. In vitro pull-down assay also confirmed that VP1 and FCA physically interact with each other. Mutation of the highly conserved WW domain in FCA suppressed nuclear translocation, disrupted FCA-VP1 interaction, and also suppressed ABA signaling. Our results indicate that FCA plays a pivotal role in ABA signaling by transducing the signaling from cytosol to the nucleus where it then interacts with the transcription factor complex of VP1/ABI5 that are required for ABA up-regulation of gene expression. Furthermore, our observations suggest although FCA regulates flowering in dicotyledonous plants, its role in cereals is centered on the regulation of seed germination, an intruging divergence in function for this regulatory protein. The role of SnRK2 protein kinase family in mediating the ABA suppression of gene expression has also been explored in this project. Among the ten family members, SAPK1 and SAPK2 were sufficient in mimicking ABA in suppressing the GA-induced α-amylase expression. Neither of these SnRK2 kinases appears to have significant inhibition on ABA induction. None of the other SnRK2 genes exert the same effect. However, knocking down of the expression of either SAPK1 or SAPK2 gene, or both of them, had no significant effect on the action of ABA. An additional, yet unidentified, regulator is likely to be involved in the ABA suppression of gene expression. In summary, the results obtained in this thesis project suggest the existence of multiple ABA signaling pathways leading to the ABA regulation of gene expression. The role of one of signaling molecules, FCA, have been investigated.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the communication satisfaction and the barriers of using AAC for people with complex communication needs in daily life via a self-edited questionnaire “Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire for Complex Communication Needs” and the interview guideline. The caregivers of people with individual of CCN were categorized into two groups, continuous users and discontinuous users. They were interviewed by telephone based on the questions in “Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire”. The results of the study, which were based on 80 valid questionnaires and 8 interview data, are as follows. 1. The main caregivers of continuous users had better communication satisfaction in expressing basic needs and mood. The other group was just only in BADL needs, like expressing what he need is eating, drinking or going to toilet. The main caregivers of these two group both had worse communication satisfaction in exchanging information and maintain social etiquette. 2. The main caregivers of discontinuous users were faced access barriers with CCN individuals using AAC with low motivation。In the opportunity barriers, both group were faced the barriers which were other member of family lack knowledge about using AAC and the main caregivers have few choise to buy devices. Furthermore the main caregivers of discontinuous users needed a professional and long-term intervention with teaching assistance when they were faced knoeledge and practice barriers.

PIC18F4520In the rapid development of flexible automation and the broad application of computer technology, industrial monitor software has played an integral role in all kinds of industrial areas. It allows operators to monitor and control a plant in real-time with feedback from any number of processes. Traditionally industrial monitor software exhibits low efficiency, lack of reliability, non-reconfigurable and does not support multi-communication protocols, as is required for the exchange of data from outside of the factory. (Fan, 2006) Configuration software is basically type of the industrial automation and process monitor and control application. It supports Human Machine Interface (HMI), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, realizes interlink between low level device and upper management network. Nowadays, with the advent of Configuration Software, engineers can readily construct field control systems with minimal developmental time and cost while allowing the combination of a plethora of user requests and control. The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a web base application with surveillance ability to realize remote control of an ABB IRB 340 Flexpicker robot through Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. The communication between the application and robot system is to be built using configuration software to link a number of third party devices through the inclusion of OLE for Process Control (OPC) techniques, graphical design editors, web navigators, and tag management. The thesis also introduces a vision system with trig-board design for object recognition and tracking.
