Cette thèse constitue une monographie sur Lee Ufan (artiste coréen né en 1936) dans laquelle nous mettons l'accent sur la présence de la partie non-peinte et non-faite dans son travail, que nous appelons " l'espace non-agi ". Cette expression insiste sur l'intervention minimum de l'artiste et englobe autant l'espace pictural que l'espace sculptural. Sous cet angle, nous proposons un aperçu de l'évolution de l'œuvre de Lee Ufan, consacrant une partie importante à sa période Mono-ha -mouvement japonais (1968-1973?) dont il a été à la fois le théoricien et l'artiste majeur- pendant laquelle l'idée de non-agir apparaît dans son travail. A travers l'examen de l'espace non-agi dans la peinture du XXe siècle, nous cherchons également à situer dans un contexte historique plus général la démarche de Lee Ufan qui finit par dialoguer avec l'extérieur<br>This thesis is a monograph on Lee Ufan (a Korean artist born in 1936) in which we focus on the presence of the unpainted, undone part in his work, which we term ‘untouched space'. This expression emphasises the artist's minimal intervention and encompasses pictorial space as well as sculptural space. From this standpoint, we propose an overview of the development of Lee Ufan's work, devoting a substantial section to his Mono-ha period – Mono-ha being a Japanese movement (1968-1973?) of which he was both the theorist and a leading artist – during which the idea of non-action first appeared in his work. In a review of untouched space in 20th century painting, we also attempt to place Lee Ufan's approach within a broader historical context, as it eventually enters into a dialogue with the outside world

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico<br>Os Enterococcus sÃo cocos Gram-positivos catalase-negativos, habitantes do trato gastrintestinal e geniturinÃrio. SÃo identificados por meios manuais baseados no clÃssico de Facklam, por sistemas semi-automatizados, automatizados e por Biologia Molecular. Em vista da diversidade de mÃtodos de identificaÃÃo e com o intuito de se verificar a concordÃncia entre alguns mÃtodos, foi realizada identificaÃÃo de 62 cepas bacterianas, advindas da coleÃÃo do Centro Especializado em Micologia MÃdica (CEMM) da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, Brasil, presumidamente identificadas como Enterococcus sp. e Enterococcus faecalis pelo esquema de Facklam. Este estudo iniciou-se com a identificaÃÃo por trÃs mÃtodos manuais: esquema de facklam e dois modificados deste - Modificado 1 e Modificado 2 - e semi-automatizado â API 20 Strep. Para a definiÃÃo de resultados discordantes, recorreu-se ao semi-automatizado â BBL â e à Biologia Molecular â PCR. O esquema de Facklam identificou 16% (10) como cepas do gÃnero Enterococcus sp. e 84% (52) como E. faecalis. O esquema Modificado 1 apresentou a seguinte identificaÃÃo: 82,2% (51) E. faecalis, 9,7% (6) E. mundtii, e 8,1% (5) E. gallinarum. O Modificado 2 identificou 98,4% (61) E. faecalis e 1,6% (1) E. gallinarum. O API 20 Strep identificou 51,6% (32) E. faecalis, 19,4% (12) A viridans, 13,0% (8) E. avium, 4,8% (3) S. agalactiae, 3,2% (2) E. faecium, 1,6% (1) S. acidominimus, 1,6% (1) Leuconoctocc sp., 1,6% (1) S. uberis, 1,6% (1) A. adiacens e 1,6% (1) InaceitÃvel. Foram selecionadas 10 amostras (cepas nÂs 05, 13, 15, 20, 27, 31, 32, 33, 50 e 60), que apresentaram resultados discordantes entre os sistemas Modificado 1, Modificado 2 e API 20 Strep para serem identificadas pelo BBL Crystal e por PCR. O BBL identificou 6 amostras como E. faecium, inclusive a cepa-controle E. faecalis ATCC 29212 e nÃo identificou 4 amostras. Na PCR, uma amostra nÃo amplificou e 9 foram identificadas como Streptococcus spp.. Uma amostra apresentou-se positiva para o gÃnero Enterococcus, mas nÃo para a espÃcie E. faecalis e 1 (uma) amplificou para a espÃcie S. agalactiae. Nenhuma das amostras se apresentou positiva para a espÃcie E. gallinarum. A amostra-controle â E. faecalis ATCC 29212 - foi amplificada corretamente. Com a anÃlise dos resultados, verificou-se que houve concordÃncia de identificaÃÃo das 62 cepas em 84% das amostras entre os sistemas manuais (Facklam, Modificado 1 e Modificado 2) e em 52% das amostras entre os sistemas manuais e semi-automatizado (API 20 Strep). Nas 10 amostras com resultados discrepantes, nÃo houve concordÃncia de identificaÃÃo entre os sistemas manuais, API 20 Strep e o BBL. A PCR concordou com os sistemas manuais e o BBL e foi discordante do API 20 Strep, em gÃnero, em 01 amostra. Correlacionando a PCR com o API 20 Strep, houve concordÃncia, em gÃnero, em 01 amostra e foi discordante dos demais sistemas. Para aumentar a sensibilidade de identificaÃÃo de Enterococcus spp. devem ser utilizados pelo menos dois mÃtodos com testes fenotÃpicos. Amostras com identificaÃÃes discordantes devem ser reidentificadas por PCR<br>The Enterococcus are Gram-positive cocci catalase negative - which inhabit the gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tract. They are identified manually and the procedure is based on the classic of Facklam, by semi-authomatized and automatized systems as well as by Molecular Biology. Due to the diversity of identification methods and aiming to verify the concordance among some methods, it was accomplished the identification of 62 bacteria strains proceeding from the collection of the Centro Especializado em Micologia MÃdica (CEMM) of the Federal University of CearÃ, in Brazil. They were presumably identified as Enterococcus sp. e Enterococcus faecalis by the Facklam scheme. This study was begun with the identification for two manual methods, modified from the Facklam scheme â Modified 1 and Modified 2- and semi-automatized â API 20 Strep. For the inconsistent results definition we used the semi-automatized â BBL and the Molecular Biology- PRC. The Franklin scheme identified 16% (10) as strains of the genre Enterococcus sp. and 52% (84) as E. faecalis. The Modified Scheme 1 presented the following identification: 82, 2% (51) E. faecalis, 9, 7% (6) E. mundtii and 8, 1% (5) E. gallinarum. The Modified 2 identified 98, 4% (61) E. faecalis and 1, 6% (1) E. gallinarum. The API 20 Strep identified 51,6% (32) E. faecalis, 19,4% (12) A viridans, 13,0% (8) E. avium, 4,8% (3) S. agalactiae, 3,2% (2) E. faecium, 1,6% (1) S. acidominimus, 1,6% (1) Leuconoctocc sp., 1,6% (1) S. uberis, 1,6% (1) A. adiacens and1,6% (1) unacceptable. It was made the selection of 10 sample (strains), among them, the ones numbered (05, 13, 15, 20, 27, 31, 32, 33, 50 and 60), which presented discordant results among the systems Modified 1, Modified 2 and API 20 Strep to be identified by BBL Crystal and by PCR. The BBL identified 6 samples as E. faecium, including the control- strain E. faecalis ATCC 29212 and did not identify 4 samples. In the PCR, one sample did not amplify and 9 were identified as Streptococcus spp. One sample was identified as positive for the genre Enterococcus, but it did not for the species E. faecalis and 1 (one) was amplified for the species S. agalactiae. None of the samples presented were positive for the species E. gallinarum. The control-sample â E. faecalis ATCC 29212 â was correctly amplified. With the analysis of the results, it was noticed that there was identification concordance of the 62 strains in 84% of the samples among the manual systems (Facklam, Modified 1 and Modified 2) and in 52% of the samples among the manual and semi-automatized systems (API 20 Strep). In 10 samples with disagreeing results there was no identification concordance among the manual systems, API 20 Strep and the BBL. A PCR agreed with the manual systems and the BBL and did not agree with the API 20 step, in genre, in one sample. Correlating the PCR with the API 20 Strep, there was agreement, in genre, in 01 sample and disagreement with the other systems

Cette recherche se propose d'étudier les traces lamartiniennes dans la poésie de Ali Mahmud Taha, l'un des poètes arabes contemporains, redevables au romantisme français<br>This thesis consists to study lamartinian presence in the poetry of Ali Mahmud Taha, one of Arabic contemporaries poets who is influenced by French romanticism

Dans ses romans, Raymond Queneau décrit la réalité historique du 20e siècle d'un point de vue original en même temps qu'il signale expressément la facticité et la fausseté du monde romanesque. Si l'on peut considérer son œuvre comme une sorte de chronique française du 20e siècle, sa réalisation est remise en cause à mesure qu'elle se développe. Le mouvement créateur conflictuel et contradictoire de Queneau s'explique en partie par sa méfiance à l'égard du langage. Conscient des limites du langage, l'écrivain s'efforce d'établir une nouvelle forme d'écriture romanesque qui permet au réel de se manifester. Il faut également noter que le regard de Queneau jeté sur la réalité est inévitablement conditionné par la situation contemporaine du champ intellectuel. Son œuvre nous enseigne que le roman ne reproduit jamais le monde réel, mais que seule la fiction romanesque permet à la réalité historique de s'affirmer<br>In his novels, Raymond Queneau describes the historical reality of the 20th century from original point of view, and at the same time expressly announces the factitiousness and the falseness of the romantic world. If one can regard his work as a kind of chronicle of the 20th century-France, his effort and achievement itself raises the question about the authority of the chronicle. The creative movement of Queneau, which connoting conflict and contradiction, can be explained partly by his unbelief on the language. Since the author is aware of the limitation of the language, he gropes the new style of writing by citing incontinuous signifiants and let them taking form of the reality itself. It should also be noted that the Quneau's glance to the reality is inevitably limited by the situation of contemporary intellectual field. His work shows us that the novel never represents the real world, but rather the romantic fiction constitutes the historical reality

La ricerca ha come primo obiettivo il miglioramento della conoscenza dei sistemi urbani regionali nelle Alpi. Si parte dalla constatazione che, essendo dai centri urbani che crescono le opportunità di sviluppo regionale (in relazione certo alla gerarchia ed alla specializzazione funzionale), è dal miglioramento della conoscenza di questa dimensione che possono porsi libere prospettive di sviluppo dei territori. In particolare si è approfondita, in primo luogo, la conoscenza intorno alla struttura dei sistemi urbani regionali attraverso l’uso di metodologie di analisi spaziale, in relazione agli insediamenti, all’accessibilità, alle dimensioni socio-economiche (popolazione residente, accessibile, occupazione, etc.). Alla luce delle recenti dinamiche socio-economiche e demografiche, approfondire questi aspetti è importante per comprendere le reali direzioni acquisite dal mutare dei territori e considerare i reali punti di forza e di debolezza, ovvero di marginalità o centralità dei singoli ambiti. In una seconda fase è stata approfondita la tematica dei servizi urbani, in relazione alla dotazione urbana e la tipologia di centri nel contesto italiano, che ha portato alla caratterizzazione dei bacini in un'ottica strategica. Importante uso dell'analisi spaziale con strumenti GIS.

Ricerche nel campo del danno renale acuto e frazioni urinarie escrete. La prima parte verte sull’analisi dei dati provenienti da una casistica di cani con leptospirosi, sono stati confrontati due gruppi di cani, il primo con AKI da leptospirosi e l’altro con AKI per eziologie differenti. In queste due popolazioni di pazienti abbiamo valutato alcuni analiti sierici ed urinari come ad esempio l’escrezione elettrolitica frazionata e biomarker di AKI come NGAL. I cani con leptospirosi, hanno mostrato maggiore kaliuresi e più grave glicosuria rispetto a quelli non affetti da leptospirosi, così come erano più frequentemente glicosurici rispetto agli altri. Questi dati sono in analogia con quanto è riportato nell’uomo e dimostrano un pattern di danno tubulare tipico in corso di questa malattia se paragonato appunto ad altre cause di danno tubulare acuto e AKI La seconda parte riguarda la valutazione della funzionalità renale e del danno renale acuto in cani affetti da insufficienza valvolare mitralica. E’ stata incentrata sul danno renale in corso di cardiopatie e per questa ragione abbiamo pensato di valutare esclusivamente pazienti con MVD per varie ragioni: poiché sono pazienti che si presentano frequentemente nella pratica clinica; la malattia è tipicamente cronica e il paziente rimane stabile a lungo con un andamento progressivo della malattia; questi pazienti possono presentare frequenti episodi di AKI legati allo scompenso cardiaco e/o alla terapia con diuretico 3/o ace-i che questi animali ricevono. Abbiamo valutato prospetticamente l'impatto della terapia orale con furosemide sulla chimica urinaria, nei cani con malattia della valvola mitrale mixomatosa. Tali differenze sono state attribuite all'effetto della terapia con furosemide sugli elettroliti renali. La chimica urinaria è utile per stimare la risposta diuretica nei cani con malattie cardiache. I dati suggeriscono differenze significative tra i diversi stadi ACVIM con particolare riferimento all’escrezione elettrolitica di Sodio, Potassio e Cloro.<br>Research in the field of acute kidney injury and excreted urinary fractions. The first part focuses on the analysis of data from a series of dogs with leptospirosis, two groups of dogs were compared, the first with AKI from leptospirosis and the other with AKI for different etiologies. In these two populations we evaluated some serum and urinary analytes such as fractional electrolyte excretion and biomarker of AKI such as NGAL. Dogs with leptospirosis showed greater kaliuresis and more severe glycosuria than those without leptospirosis, as well as were more frequently glycosuric than the others. These data are in analogy with what is reported in humans and demonstrate a typical tubular damage pattern in the course of this disease when compared to other causes of acute tubular damage and AKI. The second part concerns the evaluation of renal function and AKI in dogs with mitral valve insufficiency. It focused on renal damage in the course of heart disease and for this reason we decided to exclusively evaluate patients with MVD for various reasons: they are patients who frequently present themselves in clinical practice; the disease is typically chronic and the patient remains stable for a long time with a progressive course of the disease; these patients may present with frequent episodes of AKI related to heart failure and / or to the 3 / or ace-i diuretic therapy these animals receive. We prospectively evaluated the impact of oral furosemide therapy on urinary chemistry in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease. These differences have been attributed to the effect of furosemide therapy on renal electrolytes. Urinary chemistry is useful for estimating the diuretic response in dogs with heart disease. The data suggest significant differences between the different ACVIM stages with particular reference to the electrolytic excretion of Sodium, Potassium and Chlorine.

Due to genetic instability during serial passage of baculoviruses in insect cell culture, the viral bioinseticides in vitro production development is the greatest challenge for mass production of this bioproduct. Successive passages of virus using extracellular viruses (BVs), necessary during viral bioinseticides production scaling up, leads to the appearance of aberrant forms of virus, a process so called as "passage effect ". The main consequence of passage effect is the production of occlusion bodies (OB) decrease, preventing its production using in vitro process. In this study, it was carried out a serial passage of baculovirus Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus, isolate 18, using Sf21 cells. A decrease in the production of occlusion bodies from 170 to 92 in the third to fourth passage was observed. A factorial experimental design (22) was employed to verify the influence of two input variables, concentration of the hormone 20 - hydroxyecdysone (CH) and cholesterol (CC) on the values of response variables (volumetric and the specific OB production) of the process, seeking to define the optimum operating ranges trying to reverse or minimize the passage effect. The result indicated a negative influence of the cholesterol addition and positive effect in the hormone supplementation which the optimum range found for the concentrations studied were 8 to 10&#956;g/mL and 5 to 6.5 mg / mL, for cholesterol and hormone concentrations respectively. New experiments were performed with addition of hormone and cholesterol in order to check the influence of these additives on the OB production independently. While the best result obtained from the factorial experiment was 9.4 x 107 OB/mL and 128.4 specific OB/cell, with the addition of only 6&#956;g/mL 20-hydroxyecdysone these concentrations increased to 1.9 x 108 OB/mL and 182.9 OB/cell for volumetric and specific OB production, respectively. This result confirms that the addition of the hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone enhances the SfMNPV in vitro production process performance using Sf21 cells<br>Dentre as pragas que atacam a cultura do milho no Brasil, destaca-se a Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), conhecida no est?dio larval como lagarta-do-cartucho, considerada a praga chave da cultura, alimentando-se da planta em todas as suas fases de crescimento, principalmente dos cartuchos de plantas jovens. Para seu controle, tem-se empregado inseticidas qu?micos de amplo espectro, o que tem causado efeitos adversos ao homem e ao meio ambiente. Por essa raz?o, torna-se necess?ria a busca de alternativas mais eficientes, de baixo custo e de f?cil utiliza??o, como o uso de bioinseticidas, especialmente os baculov?rus. Devido ? instabilidade gen?tica durante a passagem seriada de baculov?rus em cultivo de c?lulas de inseto, o desenvolvimento da produ??o in vitro de bioinseticidas virais ? o maior desafio para a sua produ??o massal. Passagens sucessivas de v?rus usando v?rus extracelulares (BVs), necess?rias para o aumento de escala durante a produ??o de bioinseticida viral, leva ao aparecimento de formas aberrantes de v?rus, processo conhecido como efeito de passagem . A principal consequ?ncia do efeito passagem ? a diminui??o da produ??o de corpos de oclus?o (OB), inviabilizando economicamente sua produ??o pelo processo in vitro. Neste trabalho, foi realizada a passagem seriada do isolado 18 do baculov?rus Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus em c?lulas Sf21. Foi observada uma queda na produ??o de OB de 170 para 92 da terceira para quarta passagem. Um planejamento experimental fatorial (22) foi empregado para verificar a influ?ncia de duas vari?veis de entrada, concentra??o de horm?nio 20- Hidroxiecdisona (CH) e concentra??o de colesterol (CC), sobre os valores das vari?veis de resposta do processo (produ??o volum?trica e produ??o espec?fica de OB), procurando definir as faixas ?timas de opera??o para reverter ou minimizar o efeito passagem. O resultado deste planejamento indicou influ?ncia negativa da adi??o do colesterol e positiva na adi??o de horm?nio, onde as faixas ?timas encontradas para as concentra??es estudadas foram: 8 a 10&#956;g/mL e 5 a 6,5&#956;g/mL, para as concentra??es de colesterol e horm?nio, respectivamente. Novos experimentos foram realizados com a adi??o individual de horm?nio e colesterol com a finalidade de verificar a influ?ncia destes adjuvantes na produ??o de OB de forma independente. No planejamento experimental obteve-se produ??o volum?trica de 9,4 x 107 OB/mL e espec?fica de 128,4 OB/c?lula. Quando se adicionou 6 &#956;g/mL de 20-Hidroxiecdisona, as concentra??es elevaram-se para 1,9 x 108 OB/mL e 182,9 OB/c?lula, indicando que a adi??o do horm?nio melhorou a efici?ncia da produ??o in vitro de produ??o de SfMNPV em cultivos de c?lulas Sf21

Notre travail de recherche traite des rapports de genre dans l’oeuvre de Sabahattin Ali, écrivain républicain (1907-1948) et pionnier du réalisme social. Ce travail se divise en deux parties. Nous consacrons la première partie à la vie de l’écrivain ainsi qu’à une analyse de la situation politique et sociale de la Turquie kémaliste ; puis nous observons de quelle façon les écrivains de la période républicaine ont perçu les rapports de genre. Dans la deuxième partie, nous expliquons comment Sabahattin Ali attire l’attention, par sa perception des rapports de genre, sur les inégalités et les injustices qui frappent les femmes et les hommes de l’époque kémaliste, puis nous montrons en quoi ses observations contribuent à faire de lui un défenseur unique et courageux de leurs droits, un penseur moderne toujours soucieux d’améliorer la vie de ses contemporains. Par le biais d’un examen précis des oeuvres de fiction et d’autres textes non fictionnels, nous voyons comment il a systématiquement dénoncé les carences et les défaillances du nouveau régime politique mais aussi pourquoi la littérature était pour lui le lieu d’une lutte pour la vérité et la liberté, valeurs auxquelles il s’est consacré jusqu’à sa mort. Notre travail essaie de rendre hommage à un écrivain et à un intellectuel qui a toujours voulu persuader ses lecteurs que les rôles sociaux n’étaient jamais figés mais étaient le résultat d’une culture et d’une société qu’il appartenait à tous de forger<br>Our research deals with gender relations in the work of Sabahattin Ali, writer of the republican period (1907-1948) and pioneer of the style of social realism. This research is divided into two parts. In the first part, we talk about the life of the writer as well as the political and social situations of Kemalist Turkey. We also treat the subject of the perception of the gender relations by writers of the republican period. In the second part, we explain how Sabahattin Ali draws attention, through his perception of gender relations, to the inequalities and injustices that affect women and men of the Kemalist period, then we show how his observations contribute to make him a unique and courageous defender of their rights and a modern thinker always concerned with improving the lives of his contemporaries. Through a precise examination of works of fiction and other non-fictional texts, we see how he systematically denounced the shortcomings and failings of the new political regime but also why literature was for him the place of a struggle for truth and freedom, values to which he devoted himself until his death. Our work tries to pay tribute to a writer and an intellectual who always wanted to persuade his readers that social roles were never fixed but were the result of a culture and a society that it was up to all to forge

Is there a possibility talking about the environment by telling stories? Starting from the pretext of a planning exercise promoted by the Authority of Po River Basin, for the “maintenance” of mountain and hill territories of the basin; the research inquires the cogency and effectiveness of planning instruments facing to environmental changes, often triggered to solve emergencies, that affecting the socio-ecological regimes. It thus seeks to investigate, how institutions, in particular weak institutions (the IT Basin Authority and the IT Mountain Communities), coping with the unpredictability of accidental events, overwhelming (unknowingly) not only “instrumental” deficits (implementation and misfit), but also operative uncertainty and cultural productions equally unexpected. The problems, related to ecosystems and resources management or climate change, soil conservation, and the cooperative action global-local (and many others), are coming out with prominence on the political agendas as well as on technical one; moreover their approach is often independently, their approach is often, independently, by sector and / or hierarchically, than to socio-ecological regimes, that allow and provide a different “narrative” of the problems and weave unusual web. If the institutional challenge related to environmental policies is facing the cross-cutting approaches, it may not take into account the relevance of no-institutional agents, building networks and sharing knowledge, not only “expert” one. Therefore the shift towards this complexity of relationships, between different kinds of knowledge and different actions, not only institutional or technical, is the subject of inquiring, testing the settlement of an unprecedented political (environment) space. So, methodologically, it is alternating between “analysis” and “narrative” approach. Analysis, focusing on the use of tools to solve the so called environment crisis (MANUMONT Project, promoted by the Authority of Po Basin and the Alpine Convention as an example of Regional Environmental Governance); on the other side, Narration rised the prominence of "stylized facts" (no methods), stories (no big numbers), not merely interpretive, but explanatory emergence of smart players (who have staged unusual outcome for the creation of new spaces). Relating to the modernization and its different epistemological, and investigating them qith misty eyes is perhaps unprecedented fact, to build a new relationship between modernization and the environment. Is there a possibility to solve the relationship between modernization and environmental crisis? This work try to come out a different perspective, raising this relationship in tension and turning the terms of the relationship in: modernization crisis - environment. Three different epistemological modernizations are looking deeply, matching three different approaches to environmental problems: the instrumental one (the PdM of ADB Po), the reflective and self-consciousness one with institutional uncertainties following, and finally the discoursive comes from the overlapping stories and different scales (CA and eco-villages). A tension between speeches, which sees new political subjectivity for the environmental space, getting onto the pragmatic regimes its most convincing valiance. Therefore, challenges, faced by environmental - crisis - modernization, mustn't be address solving the environmental crisis, but considering the crisis, not something to contain or reduce, rather than be questioned.

Late-adopted (i.e. adopted after 12months) and residential-care adolescents, due to higher rates of adverse childhood experiences, show high rates of internalizing-externalizing problems and they are at high-risk to show attachment insecurity and alexithymia, which are risk-factors that may increase psychopathological vulnerability during adolescence. However, no studies before compare in the same occasion these two high-risk groups of adolescents with community peers in internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia, which were never assessed simultaneously in these groups. This mixed-method comparative research involved 174 non-clinical adolescents aged 10-19 years (M = 15.55, SD = 2.02, 53% boys) matched for age and gender in 3 groups: two "high-risk groups" of 33 late-adoptees (LA, i.e. adopted after 12 months) and 50 in residential-care (RC), and 91 community teens as low-risk control group (C), with two main aims: 1) to compare groups in internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia with a mixed-method, multi-informant approach, in order to check the assumed vulnerability of high-risk adolescents in these variables. 2) to explore relationships between internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment and alexithymia through groups, exploring the cumulative and interactive effects of attachment and alexithymia as possible risk factors for more internalizing-externalizing problems during adolescence. After the approval of the University's Research Ethic Commitee, formal agreements with the Social and Health Services for adoption and residential-care and high-school for the recruitment of participants,and the signature by legal care-takers of an informed consent for the voluntarly participation of the adolescent in the research, each participant was assessed in two meetings in home visiting. Measures were: The Child Behavior Check List 6-18 years (CBCL, filled by a biological or adoptive parent and by the educator in the RC group) and the Youth Self Report 11-18 years (YSR) to assess internalizing-externalizing problems; the Friends and Family Interview (FFI) and the Inventory for Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA) to assess attachment representations and relationships; the Toronto Alexithymia Scale 20 item (TAS-20) and the Toronto Structured Interview for Alexithymia (TSIA) to assess alexithymia; the verbal comprehension index of the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children 4th edition (ICV-WISC-IV) to control the confounding effect of participant's verbal skills in the interview, plus a socio-demographic data form to collect demographic and anamnestic data (e.g. age and lenght of adoption or institituionalization, reasons). Main results were: 1) Residential-care adolescents were confirmed the group more vulnerable to internalizing-externalizing problems, attachment insecurity and higher alexithymia, while late-adopted and community adolescents did not show differences each other. 2) Attachment insecurity and higher alexithymia were related to total and internalizing problems in all groups, while no relations with externalizing problems were found. 3) Alexithymia was a common risk-factors for more total and internalizing problems through groups, while attachment patterns had different group-specific roles. Overall, models of prediction inclusive of attachment and alexithymia allowed the prediction of 4%-39% of total problems and 20%-66% of internalizing problems through groups, with higher vulnerability for girls and a certain variability related to the problem's informant (care-giver or adolescent). In the discussion, shared and specific vulnerabilities of each group from a clinical point of view were discussed, commenting on the practical implications and suggesting ways of using these risk prediction models in clinical practice. In the conclusion, the utility of a mixed-method multi-informant approach was highlighted.

A presente dissertação versa sobre a extensão da plataforma continental além das 200 milhas marítimas, bem como sobre os direitos e obrigações dos Estados costeiros sobre a exploração dos recursos marinhos ali existentes. É feita uma análise sobre a Convenção de Montego Bay (Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre o Direito do Mar) com enfoque em dois artigos: art. 76º e art. 82º. O art. 76º estabelece as diretrizes para a delimitação do limite externo da plataforma continental além das 200 milhas e o art. 82º cuida das obrigações dos Estados costeiros que venham a explorar os recursos marinhos não-vivos em suas plataformas continentais alargadas. Ao final, considerando a necessidade de obtermos um equilíbrio entre a exploração desses recursos e a preservação do meio ambiente marinho, traçamos a convergência entre os instrumentos internacionais de proteção do meio ambiente e de desenvolvimento sustentável com os dispositivos legais estabelecidos pela Convenção de Montego Bay neste sentido. Buscou-se apresentar possíveis soluções ao problema que vem sendo enfrentado mundialmente em relação à efetiva implementação dos acordos, tratados e convenções internacionais sobre a proteção do meio ambiente marinho com foco na sustentabilidade.<br>This dissertation deals with the extension of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles, as well as the rights and obligations of the coastal States on the exploitation of the marine resources existing there. We analyse the Montego Bay Convention (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) with focus on two articles: article 76 and article 82. Article 76 establishes criteria for the delimitation of the outer limit of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles and article 82 establishes obligations of coastal States that exploit non-living marine resources in their extended continental shelf. In the end, considering the need to reach a balance between the exploitation of these resources and the preservation of the marine environment, we have studied the convergence between the international instruments for environmental protection and sustainable development with the legal provisions established by the Montego Bay Convention regarding this scenario. Some possible solutions were given to the problem that has been faced internationally in relation to the effective implementation of international agreements, treaties and conventions on environmental protection with a focus on sustainability.
