Abstract:
A cable laying ambush game is a two-person zero-sum game in which one player wishes to cross some interval while the other player has n cables that he can lay within the interval to ambush the infiltrator. In the literature solutions have been found for some cases in continuous and discrete cable laying ambush games when n = 2. The culmination of this thesis gives a complete solution for this much studied two cable game. However, prior to this numerous important results are established for the n cable game. It is first shown that the continuous game always possesses a value. This is done by showing that optimal strategies in a new finite game are also optimal in the continuous game. Further to this it is then shown that the discrete game can also be reduced to the same finite game and thus shown that it is equivalent to a finite game. This enables us to find many new results in both games. We also carry out much computational work enabling us to convert games into linear programmes and thus find the game value and optimal strategies. Using these techniques, we produce numerous new results in the three cable ambush game. Analysis of the game value function is then carried out which shows that it is a lower semi-continuous function and enables us to show how the game can be divided into regions which share the same value. By combining these with strategies in special cases for the ambusher, we produce a complete solution for the two cable game without having to calculate strategies for the infiltrator.

Abstract:
As one of the top topics in both scholarly and practical fields of sport sponsorship, ambush marketing research usually focuses on protection of the sports sponsor’s rights. Since five years after the 2008 Games, how China performs sponsor protection record after the Olympics should be evaluated. In response to the question, the investigator conducted a qualitative study involving 11 semi-structured interviews of subject-matter experts from various types of organizations in China and an archive content analysis. The interviews aimed at revealing further insights into how ambush campaigns are perceived within China as well as to further its possible sociological and economical causes. Results revealed that although ambush marketing was regulated during the 2008 Olympics, it is still common in China. The current situation of ambush marketing in China is shaped by five factors including: (1) media, (2) legal system, (3) government relationships, (4) event organizers’ experience, and (5) contemporary culture.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2005.
This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 71-72).
This thesis examines a variety of ambush games in which one player must navigate between an origin and a destination, and the other player seeks to intercept and ambush him. These games include single-stage games, in which all decisions are made at the outset of the game, and multi-stage games, in which the second player may choose his ambush locations based on real-time updates of the first player's position. For both types of ambush games, methods are presented for efficiently computing the optimal mixed strategies for the first player to navigate between the origin and destination, so as to minimize the probability of being ambushed. The results are applicable to a wide range of real-life situations, including the routing of VIPs and convoys through hostile areas.

Abstract:
Owing to the high sponsorship fees and category exclusivity of sponsorship rights in the major events, ambush marketing activities are increasingly planned and practiced in order to capitalize on the benefits associated with the event. As a result, the integrity of the sponsorship‘s rights is broken and the sponsor‘s investment is undermined, which has the potential to threaten the financial viability of the events. In order to maintain event integrity and protect official sponsors from attack by ambushers, the International Olympic Committee introduced a "Name and Shame" campaign to create public awareness of companies‘ ambushing efforts. This study aims to explore consumers‘ response to ambush marketing disclosure by using a survey questionnaire approach. Balance theory and attribution theory are incorporated into an integrated model illustrating how the factors, including the event-related factor (event involvement), the sponsor-related factor (consumer attitude towards the sponsor), the ambusher-related factor (prior brand knowledge and perceived corporate social responsibility), and consumers‘ perceived motives for sponsorship and ambush marketing, have an impact on the degree of blame consumers place on ambushing attempts and thus their attitudes towards ambushing companies. Eight hundred questionnaires were collected in the UK and structural equation modelling was adopted to analyse the data. The model was tested respectively under two different types of ambushing contexts, that is, predatory ambushing (n=400) and associative ambushing (n=400). In both contexts, the results shows that event involvement and consumer attitude towards the sponsor have a positive influence on consumer blame, while prior brand knowledge of the ambusher are negatively related to consumer blame. However, consumers‘ perceived CSR of the ambusher can negatively influence consumer blame only in an associative ambushing context, but not in a predatory ambushing context. In addition, consumers‘ perceived motives are confirmed to play a critical role in affecting consumers‘ response to a company‘s ambushing practice.

Abstract:
As sport sponsorship has grown in importance and sophistication over the past three decades, so too have the efforts made by un-associated brands to capitalize on the financial benefits and media value provided by sport. By offering would-be sponsors an alternative means of associating with an event without the substantial expense of securing an official partnership, ambush marketing has become a major threat to the investments made by official sponsors, cluttering the marketing environment surrounding sponsorship and challenging sponsors for consumer attention and awareness. Unfortunately, our understanding of ambushing and its impact on the management of sponsorship programmes has been limited by the predominantly atheoretical, outdated perspective of ambush marketing espoused by commercial rights holders and event organizers. This study presents a conceptual examination of ambush marketing, providing a theoretical investigation of the nature, role, strategy and impact of ambush marketing and a renewed perspective of ambush marketing as a form of marketing communications. Contemporary ambush marketing represents a strategic alternative to official sponsorship, which offers a brand access to consumer attention and awareness by creating an affiliation, whether implicit or explicit, with an event or property. This previously unexplored complexity and diversity has informed the construction and development of a typology of ambush strategy which contemporizes past ambush marketing research and affords new insight into the role and evolution of ambush marketing, and its impact on sport sponsorship management. The development of a theoretical conceptualization of ambush marketing represents an integral step in the advancement of the academic study of ambushing, and affords the opportunity to better understand the impact of ambushing on sponsorship and to further explore the nature of ambush marketing.

Abstract:
This research comprises three interconnected studies that, when considered together, attend to the dissertation’s purpose of presenting an integrated conceptual framework for ambush marketing in the Olympic Games. This has been accomplished in two ways: (1) the use of institutional theory, supported by network theory, as a lens to view and understand evolutionary processes in Olympic sponsorship and ambush marketing and (2) the use of grounded theory to build a conceptual framework of ambush marketing from the findings. Broadly, the model suggests the evolution of ambush marketing is partially impacted by, and an outcome of, institutional forces and considerations. Study I examines the process of institutionalization in the evolution of Olympic sponsorship during its most critical period of growth. It is argued that three key periods of change for sponsorship and two for ambush marketing exist during this time. Furthermore, these periods of change, most specifically concerning anti-ambush marketing practices, suggest the institutionalization of anti-ambush marketing legislation in the Olympic Games. Study II examines how Olympic ambush marketing stakeholder power and transfer of sponsorship and ambush marketing knowledge has influenced institutional processes toward the state of anti-ambush legislation as institutionalized brand protection. Centrality measures suggest the International Olympic Committee and Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games demonstrate the greatest stakeholder influence within the Olympic ambush marketing network. It is further argued the influence resulting from the structure of Olympic ambush marketing networks impacts the institutional processes of objectification and sedimentation. Study III examines the contemporary state of Olympic sponsorship evidenced by institutionalized legislated brand protection. While direct marketing implications of anti-ambush marketing legislation are minimal, it is argued the practice represents a portion of a regime of brand protection and that public relations outcomes of legislated brand protection must be carefully managed as part of a brand management strategy. Similarly, proportionality and managing expectations are arguably important in the understanding and application of such laws. Finally it is suggested that while the Olympic Movement may be viewed as an early adopter of anti-ambush legislation in the mega-event field, the individual character of each Olympic Games will interfere with complete isomorphism.

Abstract:
During World War I, art produced in the United States shaped various opinions about the nation's role in global affairs, whether that art supported isolation or intervention. The U.S. government called on its artists to rally public support, and for the first time in its history, the military officially commissioned eight men, most of whom were classically-trained artists who worked as illustrators, to go to the front lines on its behalf. The AEF 8, as the official artists are commonly called, created approximately 500 artworks illustrating all aspects of the First World War, which were used in the popular press and exhibitions in an attempt to connect Americans "over here" with the efforts of the soldiers "over there." By uncovering the Army's dilemma of how to visually depict a controversial war, how the military used these images, and how the public responded to them, a new understanding of early twentieth century American art comes to light, linking the conflicting approaches of pictorial representation in early American modernism. By the spring of 1918, the eight illustrators landed in Europe and began their service as captains in the Army Engineer Corps. These men--William Aylward (1875-1956), Walter Jack Duncan (1881-1941), Harvey Dunn (1884-1952), George Harding (1882-1959), Wallace Morgan (1873-1948), Ernest Peixotto (1869-1940), J. André Smith (1880-1959), and Harry Townsend (1879-1941)--had unique access to locales and opportunities during the Great War. Back home, the U.S. government rallied other artists and effectively utilized their images, either in poster, print advertisement, film, or photographic form, to elicit support for the war. The Army hoped the official combat artworks would do the same, as well as become a visual and historical record of the war. This recognition of illustration's ability to persuade--and document--coincides with the rise of advertising, illustrated books and periodicals, and new printing technologies that occurred at the fin de siècle and into the 1910s. Most illustrators received decent wages for their work, and a few reached a level of popularity that garnered them significant salaries. Yet, many in the "high art" world considered the work of commercial artists and illustrators as less significant than that in the fine arts and, furthermore, denigrated the status of the professional fine artist. However, the skills of an illustrator--to be thorough yet quick, efficient yet detailed, and truthful yet artistic--were suited perfectly for combat art production, and the occupational limitations or criticisms of being a commercial artist seemed moot in the minds of those who commissioned the AEF 8. Considering the amount of time, effort, and funding the War Department extended to the creation of this new corps of combat artists, one must question what became of the art, what its purpose was, and if it fulfilled the mission stipulated by the Army, the patron for these eight artists. The Army desired that the art reveal the hard work and hardships of the common soldier to the American public, thus eliciting support for the war. One way citizens interfaced with the art was through magazines, journals, and books. Another more public form of interaction occurred in the museum setting. The analysis of these platforms presents a broader understanding--both historical and cultural--of the ways in which the official World War I art accomplished or failed in its mission to connect with the American public.

Abstract:
Titel:                                       Leverera mera – En fallstudie på Volvo Trucks   Författare:                                              Erik Bylund & Johan Kristensson   Handledare:                                             Ulf Aagerup   Nivå:                                       Kandidatuppsats, Internationell Marknadsföring (15hp), VT 2014.   Nyckelord:                                               Sponsring, Leveraging och Ambush Marketing   Problemformuleringar:        - Hur använder Volvo Trucks leveraging i samband med deras sponsorskap? - Hur motverkar Volvo Trucks Ambush Marketing i samband med deras sponsorskap?                                             Syfte:                                      Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och beskriva hur ett aktivt sponsrande multinationellt företag på B2B-marknaden använder sig av leveraging i samband med deras sponsorskap för att öka nyttan av deras investering. Vi vill även undersöka undersöka och beskriva hur de motverkar Ambush Marketing i samband med deras sponsorskap för att skydda deras investering.                       Teoretisk referensram:         Kapitlet inleds med grundläggande teorier kring sponsorskap för att sedan gå vidare till beskrivning av termerna leveraging och Ambush Marketing.   Metod:                                    Fallstudien har genomförts med en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod och en induktiv ansatts. Personliga intervjuer med högt uppsatt och kompetent personal inom Volvo Trucks legat till grund för insamlingen av våra data.   Empiri:                                   Empirin presenterar de kvalitativa intervjuer som gjorts med respondenter inom Volvo Trucks.   Analys:                                   Analysen jämför den insamlade empirin gentemot den teoretiska referensramen.   Slutsats:                                  Volvo Trucks använder sig av en omfattande leveragingstrategi där de genom sin 360-approach försöker vara närvarande på samtliga plan och kanaler. Det finns ett klart fokus på aktiverande leveraging med avsikt att bygga och stärka kundrelationer. Deras övergripande, långsiktiga sponsringsstrategi att äga event och vara titelsponsor ger dem stort inflytande och gör att de kan vara dominanta i sin exponering. Även om Volvo Trucks själva hävdar att deras primära strategi mot Ambush Marketing är att skriva noggranna kontrakt menar vi att deras övergripande strategier (omfattande leveraging och långvariga titelsponsorskap) också utgör ett viktigt skydd.
Title:                                                                               Leverera mera – En fallstudie på Volvo Trucks   Authors:                                                  Erik Bylund & Johan Kristensson   Advisor:                                                   Ulf Aagerup   Level:                                      Bachelor thesis, International Marketing (15 ECTS), Spring 2014   Keywords:                                               Sponsoring, Leveraging, Ambush Marketing   Problem:                                - How do Volvo Trucks make use of leveraging in conjunction with their sponsorships? - How do Volvo Trucks counteract Ambush Marketing in conjunction with their sponsorships?   Purpose:                                 The purpose of this paper is to explore and describe how an active multinational sponsor in the B2B market make use of leveraging in conjunction with their sponsorship to increase the benefits of their investment. We also want to investigate and describe how they combat Ambush Marketing in conjunction with their sponsorship to protect their investment.   Method:                                  The study has a qualitative research method with an inductively approach. Interviews with senior and knowledgeable employees within Volvo Trucks have been conducted to provide answers to the problem.   Frame of reference:              The chapter begins with basic theories about sponsorship and then proceed to the description of the terms and leveraging Ambush Marketing.   Empiric:                                 The empirical data presents the qualitative interviews conducted with respondents at Volvo Trucks.   Analysis:                                 The analysis compares the collected empirical data in relation to the theories studied in sponsorship, leveraging and ambush marketing.   Conclusion:                            Volvo Trucks uses a comprehensive leveraging strategy which through their 360 approach tries to be present at all levels and channels. There is a clear focus on activational leveraging with the intent to build and strengthen customer relationships. Their overall long-term sponsorship strategy to own events and titles sponsorship gives them great influence and enables them to be dominant in their exposure. Although Volvo Trucks themselves claim that their primary strategy against Ambush Marketing is to write detailed contracts, we propose that their overall strategies (including leveraging and longstanding title sponsorship) also provides an important protection.

Abstract:
International sporting mega-events such as the Olympic Games, are constantly in a behind the scenes and public all out commercial war. This war is a combat between event organizers and ambush marketers who engage in ambush marketing tactics. These marketing strategies can be found from big corporate companies to tiny local shops but almost always end in legal action. While this battle is very real it often goes unnoticed by the public and many fans. This war is fought during most sports mega-events in order to protect the highly lucrative commercial rights of an event's sponsor. This paper will focus on defining ambush marketing within the realm of mega-sporting events, namely focusing on the Olympics. The paper will further explain the legal resources available to event promoters and official sponsors. Lastly, this paper will discuss the violation of freedom of expression in relation to ambush marketing.

Abstract:
L’ambush marketing se produit dans les évènements sportifs majeurs comme la Coupe du Monde FIFA et les Jeux Olympiques. Le Guide au public 2019 de la FIFA vise à minimiser la prévalence de l’ambush marketing lors de cet évènement, en indiquant le contenu que les athlètes et les non-sponsors peuvent publier sur leurs comptes Instagram en lien avec la Coupe du Monde FIFA 2019. Le but de cette étude consistait à examiner les tentatives et les tactiques de l’ambush marketing utilisées par les athlètes et les non-sponsors via les médias sociaux, spécifiquement Instagram pendant la Coupe du Monde féminine de football 2019 en France. Méthodes de recherche En utilisant l'analyse de contenu, cette étude a examiné 424 captures d’écran captées sur Instagram des athlètes et des non-sponsors pendant une période de 9 semaines qui couvrait une période de 2 semaines avant, 5 semaines pendant et 2 semaines après la Coupe du Monde féminine de la FIFA 2019. Nous avons utilisé le logiciel (ReCal inter-coder), pour vérifier la fiabilité et la concordance des résultats. La fiabilité inter-codeur a d'abord été calculée en utilisant un pourcentage de concordance de 80,12%. Ensuite, pour tester la coïncidence, les nombres kappa et la variable de score la plus basse était de 70%, ce qui correspondait au seuil fixé pour continuer l’analyse du contenu. Résultats et constatations Malgré le faible pourcentage d’incidence, les athlètes et les non-sponsors ont été engagés dans les activités d’ambush marketing. Au total, 29 cas d’ambush marketing ont été identifiés, 8 par les athlètes et 21 par des non-sponsors. De ces 29 cas, 17 ont été réalisés par photos et 12 par vidéos. Implications - Les athlètes ont joué un rôle dans l’ambush marketing (intentionnellement ou non); - Les règlements du Guide au public 2019 de la FIFA n’ont pas été respectés par certaines athlètes et non-sponsors. - Instagram en tant que plateforme de médias sociaux est utilisée pour les activités d’ambush marketing par des athlètes et des non-sponsors. - La directive publique de la FIFA doit être adaptée et mise à jour sur l'utilisation des hashtags et d'émojis sur Instagram. - La FIFA doit éduquer les athlètes et les fédérations si elle prévoit continuer à établir les règlements détaillés dans ce guide au public pour les athlètes et les non-sponsors.

Abstract:
Wherever we go, marketing is all around us. Sport events are no exception. Sport events have during the last years become a platform and a communication tool for marketing companies. The major reason for the increasing attraction of sport games is because of its’ enormously attraction of audience. A company that uses sport games in order to market itself is usually a sponsor for a sport association or team. A sponsoring company is provided with the opportunity to associate itself with a team and/or a game. Sponsoring and non-sponsoring companies utilize the amount of audience to reach as many customers as possible. The sponsoring companies need to pay a sponsorship fee. The non-sponsoring companies free ride at the expense of the sponsors, by not paying any fees. The ambushing companies aim, is to draw the consumers’ attention away from the sponsors and onto themselves. The purpose of this research is to study the consumers’ acceptance regarding marketing from non-sponsoring companies in sport games. It is interesting to study a consumer perspective of ambush marketing since the research field is not very explored. A qualitative study with quantitative elements has been used in order to capture the consumers’ opinions. The method used resulted in comprehensive findings. The results show distinct differences within the quantitative and the qualitative findings. The conclusion of this research is that consumers somehow accept the free riding strategy. Consumers believe that they do not lack knowledge regarding sponsoring companies. However, the consumers may lack knowledge concerning the harm ambush marketing causes the sponsoring companies.

This thesis builds an optimization decision model that can be used to determine the optimum ratio of the two vehicles that the Army and Marine Corps can purchase to minimize costs while taking into account constraints related to each vehicles capabilities, such as required off-road capabilities and transport ease for missions supported by the services. The proposed optimization decision model is a cost minimizing non-linear programming model that also accounts for changes in the average production cost of each type of vehicle by embedding a cumulative average cost formula into the objective function of the model.

Abstract:
Ambush marketing has recently become a large problem for event owners and official sponsors. One of the main focuses, in the field of ambush marketing, has been about consumers' attitudes towards ambush marketing. However, the research field has a gap in what affects consumers’ attitudes. The purpose of this thesis is to explain the causal effect between consumers’ culture factors and their attitudes towards ambush marketing. This thesis uses a conceptual model that is based on theories in national culture, marketing and psychology. This thesis uses a positive, deductive approach with an explanatory research design. The quantitative method is a survey that is handed out to Swedish students and exchange students from China. Analyses show that consumers' culture has a significant correlation to their attitudes towards ambush marketing. Consumers in cultures with high power distance and/or collectivism, have a significant stronger negative attitude towards ambush marketing, compared to consumers who have low power distance and/or individualism. The theoretical implications in this thesis fill the gap about what causal effect culture factors have on consumers’ attitudes towards ambush marketing. This thesis has also contributed to the more controversial belief, that the consumers’ do not have such negative attitude towards ambush marketing. The findings will be of managerial use for event owners who are taking actions against the ambush companies. Limitation of this study is that theory on the cultural factors is only based on one theoretical framework, Hofstede’s cultural dimensions.

MBA Professional Report
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
The purpose of this MBA Project is to analyze the procedures followed in the acquisition of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. The MRAP program, initiated in response to the improvised explosive device (IED) threat in Iraq and Afghanistan, is unprecedented in timeline and scale. As such, it provides a unique case study on the rapid acquisition of a major military system in response to an urgent operational need. The objective of this research is to provide a guide for future rapid acquisition programs by documenting the conduct of the MRAP program from the initial needs identification and program start in 2006 through production and fielding at the time of this writing. The major analysis will focus on the program as a rapid acquisition within the context of the Acquisition Management and Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) framework. The goal for analysis is to answer the following question: What are the key factors and decisions that contributed to program success, with success defined as meeting program objectives and warfighter needs? In addition, this report will address the key trade-offs made within the MRAP program and the potential long-term impacts of these decisions.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I argue that, as a popular text, Valley of the Wolves: Ambush functions as a site for consent production for foreign policies formed by the AKP elites within the last decade, through a process of reproduction of state identities, ideologies, and discourses at the level of narrative. This thesis positions its argument in two fields: Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) studies and Popular Culture and World Politics (PCWP) within the larger International Relations (IR) context. It is interdisciplinary in nature as it also make use of theories around popular culture. Although scholarship within IR theory and PCWP has done much to explore issues around representations of politics in popular media (Weldes, 1999a; Nexon and Neumann, 2006; Van Veeren, 2009; Kiersey and Neumann, 2013), this has frequently focused on Western examples and narratives such as 24, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and so on. In this regard this thesis advances these theories by focusing on a particular national context and offer an original analysis on Turkey. While doing so, it employs discourse analysis. It also teases out some of the complexities of the nature and implications of representation of the TFP by using critical reception. Thisis because thisthesisregards critical debates around the television series as tools to explore discourses around consent production. Together with an analysis of the critical reception of the television series, political discourses around foreign policy are examined in line with the ways in which these policies are depicted and reproduced by the series. This leads to an intertextual reading of Turkish state identity and security imaginary and a critical examination of the TFP in the last decade from a constructivist perspective.

The purpose of this study is to document and analyze the benefit and shortcomings experienced by the various stakeholders, particularly the warfighters. It is also to determine if the accelerated acquisition strategy used for the Mine Resistance Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle program provided sufficient benefits to the warfighter to become the model program for future U.S. military major acquisition programs? The urgent need for a vehicle capable of protecting the warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan against improvised explosive devices (IEDs), rocket-propelled grenades, and small arms fire, prompted the approval of an accelerated acquisition program for the development and purchase of the MRAP vehicle. The time from the initial needs statement in February 2006 to the first fielding of the first MRAPs was less than 18 months. This accelerated acquisition process provided tremendous benefits; however, it was not without its shortcomings. Were the shortcomings outweighed by the benefits in this particular program, and most importantly, will this accelerated acquisition procedure used serve as a model for future major military acquisition programs? Answering these questions is the major focus of this study.

Whilst, there are many rules that restricts the non-official company´s campaigns. Regardless, non-official sponsors are still able to associate themselves with the event by using creative viral marketing campaigns and endorsing athletes, thus create brand awareness by so called ambush marketing.

Abstract:
Under mitt tredje år som musiklärarstudent på Musikhögskolan Ingesund är jag den enda som har klassisk saxofon som huvudinstrument. Mitt intresse för saxofonkvartettspel har alltid varit stort men när det nu inte finns någon möjlighet till kvartettspel har intresset och längtan efter att få spela kvartett vuxit ännu mer. Därför handlar detta arbete om saxofonkvartett. Syftet har varit att ta reda på de utmaningar jag upplever när jag spelar på de fyra olika saxofonerna i kvartetten och när jag studerar in respektive saxofons stämma i ett kvartettstycke. För att genomföra studien har jag främst använt loggbok där jag har skrivit om mina upplevelser och sedan delat upp dem i olika kategorier; fysiska utmaningar, stämmornas utmaningar och instrumentens utmaningar. Resultatet visar bland annat på skillnader vad gäller instudering av varje saxofons respektive stämma och saxofonens roll i kvartetten. Det visar också på skillnader i hur jag använder min kropp för att få fram den optimala klangen på varje saxofon. I arbetets diskussionskapitel jämförs mina upplevelser med forskning och information från litteratur till stor del skriven av andra saxofonister.
During my third year as a music teacher student on Musikhögskolan Ingesund I am the only one who studies classical saxophone as my major subject. My interest of playing saxophone quartet have always been great but when there is no opportunity for quartet playing, the interest and the desire to play quartet has grown even more. Therefore, this work is about saxophone quartet. The purpose has been to find out the challenges I experience when I play the four different saxophones in the quartet and when I study the respective saxophone's part in a quartet piece. In order to complete the study, I have mainly used a logbook where I have written about my experiences and then divided them into different categories; physical challenges, the challenges of the parts and the challenges of the instruments. The results show, among other things, differences in the studying of each saxophone´s part and the saxophones role in the quartet. It also shows differences in how I use my body to get an optimal sound on each saxophone. In the discussion of the work, my experiences are compared with research and information from literature mainly written by other saxophonists.

Resumo: O domínio da língua materna se apresenta como um dos capitais exigidos e construídos socioculturalmente, uma vez que se expressar na língua oficial não é algo natural ¿ muito pelo contrário, diferencia os indivíduos. Diante desse cenário, nota-se a existência de discursos políticos e projetos de lei que consideram a antecipação do ingresso no Ensino Fundamental um meio para impulsionar a democratização e a qualidade do ensino. Este estudo realiza um levantamento de representantes do âmbito político e acadêmico que consideram a expansão e a antecipação do acesso escolar um meio para melhorar as oportunidades e a qualidade do ensino. Para tanto, esta pesquisa apoia-se nos trabalhos apresentados em dois dos principais congressos de educação do país (COLE e ANPEd), nas teses e dissertações das Faculdades de Educação da UNICAMP, USP e UFMG e na análise das trajetórias de políticos que defendem essa proposta, para compreender como se dá o debate sobre o tema, tanto no âmbito político quanto no acadêmico
Abstract: The domain of the mother language is presented as one of the required capital and it is socio-culturally constructed, considering that express the official language is not natural - quite the contrary, differentiates individuals. Given this scene, can be observed the existence of political speeches and Law Projects that consider an anticipation of admission in elementary school a means to boost democratization and quality of teaching. This study conducts a survey of political and academic representatives that consider the expansion and anticipation of school access a way to improve opportunities and quality of education. To do so, this research builds on the work presented in two major education conferences in the country (COLE and ANPEd), theses and dissertations of Colleges of Education at UNICAMP, USP and UFMG and analysis of trajectories of politicians who advocate this proposal, to understand how is the debate on the subject, both in the political sphere as in academia

Abstract:
L'etude qui a ete menee a eu pour but de verifier l'etat d'une societe en pleine mutation qui est la societe mbosi. Cette mutation se caracterise par l'affrontement de deux cultures : la culture traditionnelle mbosi d'une part et la culture europeenne d'autre part. En comparant les aspects traditionnels et les aspects "evolutifs", de la parente et de l'alliance, tant dans les villa ges visites qu'a brazzaville, nous avons voulu, de cette facon, savoir quels sont les elements qui ont ete ou non sensibles aux changements intervenus. Au terme de cette etude, nous avons pu, en gros, nous rendre compte de la persistance, a brazzaville, des valeurs traditionnelles quoi qu'on dise, plus en ce qui concer ne la parente qu'en ce qui concerne l'alliance matrimoniale. La pregnence des liens de la parente, constatee en milieu urbain, a pour explication, selon nous, la preeminence du facteur magico-religieux. Ainsi en est-il du role joue par la sorcellerie comme moyen d'intimidation contre les parents tentes par l'indiffe rence vis a vis des leurs ou encore par l'exclusion. Ce dernier facteur manquant dans le rapports matrimoniaux explique sans doute la vulnerabilite de l'insti tution matrimoniale en ville. A cela s'ajoute aussi le caractere non symbolique des valeurs utilisees parce que d'origine europeenne. En campagne par contre, il en va autrement car l'environnement sociologique et culturel permet encore de faire fonctionner la structure de la parente ainsi que celle du mariage confor mement aux prescriptions coutumieres
The aim of the investigation was to examine the state of affaire of a changing society - the mbosi - this change is caracterised by a struggle between two cultures : the traditional mbosi culture on one hand, and the european culture on the other hand. In comparing the traditional and "changing" aspects in family and marriage relationships bith in the villages visited as well as in brazzavil le, we sought to find out the elements which brought about the said changes. We have found out in the final analysis that the traditional values persist in brazzaville more in regard to family relations more than marriage relationships. The strong family links observed in the urban areas could be explained by the pre-eminence of the magic-religious factor; that is the role played by witch - craft as a means of intimidation against those who may wish to remain indiffe- rent towards their brothers. Such people could also be treated as outcasts. This last factor being absent in matrimonial affairs probably explains the vulnera- ble character of the matrimonial institution in town. To this we add the non symbolic character of values considered because of their european origin. In the villages, however, the sociological and cultural environment gives room for the functioning of the family structures and marriage relationships in accordance to customay demands

Abstract:
This study examines the Allied notion of victory and how it was expressed in the depth of Allied strategic planning in 1918 for a campaign in 1919. Using the Supreme War Council (SWC) as a lens this study's arguments are threefold. The first is that, with the creation of the SWC, the Allies pursued a notion of victory that was focused on a decisive military defeat of the German army. Their timeline to victory over the enemy was affected by their perception of the enemy’s strength, their assessment of the difficulties inherent in overcoming the military advantage offered by the Central Powers' interior lines, their appraisal of the European members' morale to continue the war, and their ability to gather the necessary superiority in material and manpower resources. The second argument is that, through the SWC, the Allies were able to successfully coordinate strategy and resources. This study analyses the workings of the SWC as an international body and an early example of modern alliance warfare, comparing the perspectives of the British, French, American and Italian representatives in their willingness and unwillingness to coordinate national needs with alliance ones, arguing that the coalition did form a unified policy and strategy for the campaign in 1919. The abrupt ending of the war has obscured historians' understanding of coalition warfare in the First World War, as they have not sufficiently considered the serious planning that took place for 1919. Third, it argues that at the SWC level, the coalition members recognized the interdependent nature of the theatres, and thus the importance of all them for the conduct of the war.

Abstract:
Memoria (licenciado en ciencias jurídicas y sociales)
El objeto de la presente Memoria es abordar el conflicto jurídico que se origina a partir de la coexistencia de dos instituciones en el Derecho del Trabajo; por una parte el contrato temporal de trabajo, que contempla las modalidades de contrato a plazo fijo y por terminación de obra o faena que tienen una duración limitada en el tiempo, sea por un plazo prefijado o implícito respectivamente, diferenciándose así de la regla general dada por la contratación laboral indefinida, y, por otra parte el fuero laboral maternal, instituto que cuenta con una larga trayectoria de reconocimiento en la legislación, y que a grandes rasgos otorga una inamovilidad temporal en el trabajo a sus beneficiarias y beneficiarios. Ambas instituciones tienen vigencia en nuestra legislación nacional, así como también se encuentran latamente reconocidas por el derecho internacional y la doctrina. Sin embargo, la aplicación conjunta de ambas instituciones a un caso específico, genera conflictos prácticos y jurídicos que intentaremos dilucidar a través del presente estudio. En Chile, la incompatibilidad entre la posibilidad que otorga nuestra legislación laboral en atención a permitir la celebración de contratos temporales y por otro lado la institución del fuero laboral, también reconocida en nuestro Derecho Laboral se resuelve por medio de una norma de rango legal a favor de la preeminencia del contrato temporal. En efecto, y según lo consagra el artículo 174 del Código del Trabajo, una persona beneficiada por el fuero laboral puede ser despedida en virtud del término del contrato a plazo fijo o culminación de obra o faena, previa autorización judicial

Es esto último lo que pretendemos ilustrar, y nos centraremos en el estudio del Universo, es decir, en la Cosmología, que es considerada como una de las disciplinas más avanzadas y teóricas de la Física. Para contemplar los cambios epistemológicos que están desarrollando las Ciencias Naturales, primero ilustraremos las herramientas epistemológicas con que abordaba los fenómenos físicos la Ciencia Moderna, es decir, desde el Renacimiento hasta inicios de la Revolución Industrial. Con esto quedará asentada la diferencia que mostraremos cuando ilustremos las transformaciones en la manera de abordar los fenómenos de la Naturaleza (a través del siglo veinte y comienzos del veintiuno), y en particular, la historia del Universo, a partir de la teoría del Big-Bang (que es la teoría central acerca del posible origen del cosmos) y de dos autores centrales: Ilya Prigogine (físico, químico y filósofo belga de origen ruso, Premio Nobel de Química en 1977) y Hubert Reeves (canadiense, Doctor en astrofísica nuclear en Cornell University, Estados Unidos).
