O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar algumas canções de Tom Zé a partir das quais se pretende mostrar de que forma o compositor brasileiro representa e interpreta a identidade nacional. Em função da amplitude e da complexidade desse tema, fez-se necessário um estudo prévio dos conceitos de nação e identidade, partindo das análises de Ernest Renan, Benedict Anderson, Homi K. Bhabha e Stuart Hall. No que tange à identidade brasileira, cujos estudos também são vastos e complexos, privilegiam-se neste trabalho as figuras do Homem Cordial e do Bestializado, fundamentadas por Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e José Murilo de Carvalho, respectivamente, além da obra do sociólogo Richard Sennett, que debate as relações entre as esferas pública e privada, fundamentais para a leitura crítica aqui desenvolvida. Por fim, busca-se mostrar como a leitura de Tom Zé acerca do Brasil e do brasileiro, presente em suas canções, dialoga com a teoria já existente sobre o assunto ao mesmo tempo em que a ultrapassa, revelando uma leitura própria do Brasil.
This paper´s goal is to analyze some Tom Zé´s songs from which it is intended to show in what way the Brazilian composer represents and interprets the national identity. Due to this theme´s amplitude and complexity, it is necessary a previous study of nation and identity from the analysis of Ernest Renan, Benedict Anderson, Homi K. Bhabha e Stuart Hall. As for the Brazilian identity, whose studies are also vast and complex, the Cordial and Bestial Man´s figures are privileged in this paper, they are grounded by Sérgio Buarque de Holanda e José Murilo de Carvalho, respectively, besides the sociologist Richard Sennett´s work that debates the relations between public and private spheres, fundamental for the critical reading developed here. Lastly, it is searched to show how Tom Zé´s reading about Brazil and Brazilians, present in his songs, dialogs with the existing theory about the subject at the same time that surpasses it, revealing an own reading of Brazil.

Full textThis dissertation studies the boom of animal imaginary within the last twenty years (1996-2015) of Colombian dramaturgy. This is a phenomenon closely linked to the socio-political situation in the country where animal figures persist as a mechanism of metaphorical representation of its political reality. This research has as historical background the period of the armed conflict in Colombia, an era characterized by an internal armed struggle affecting the country from the 1950s to the present day that has sparked a wave of social and political violence in the country. This situation has served as scriptural seed for many Colombian artists who have used their symbolic and metaphorical images to reflect their worldview. This research is supported by theoretical contributions from different scientific disciplines, including philosophy, anthropology, sociology, semiotics, literature and theatre studies. In terms of its methodology, it uses Gilbert Durand's myth analysis model to dive into the images-text of the animal in Colombian dramaturgy and its universe as a source of creation. And in order to find the links between text and scenic dramaturgy —the fiction of the plays— with the Colombian reality, this study offers a comprehensive interpretation of animal figures. The study on “the animal” in this thesis is divided in two parts: the first one, written as a bestiary, reflects upon the findings of “bestiality” in the work. This part discusses two visions of bestiality, a natural and an abnormal one, as a way of finding beasts characters and monsters as images of otherness. The second part is structured under two principal subjects, the animal’s body and habitat. It is focused on unveiling the textual and scenic mechanisms used by playwrights to picture and to think of animality; an imaginary that led us to conclude that, in contemporary Colombian fiction, the place of the animal is exile and exclusion, and the vision of man is that of an “hommo inhumnus” while the vision of the world is that of a “meat” world.

Full textSyftet med denna studie är att påvisa hypotesen att Allende använder sig av osynlighet som ett litterärt antropologiskt grepp för postkolonial kritik vid mötena mellan grupperna La gente de la Neblina och de västerländska upptäckarna i La Ciudad de Las Bestias. För att uppnå syftet har studien utvecklats genom textanalys som metod, vilken i första hand har baserats på Turners antropologiska teorier och i andra hand på den postkoloniala teorin för att närmare utreda hur Allendes verk är en del av konstruktionen av kulturen – med ändamålet att påvisa andra perspektiv och sätt att tänka i kontrast med de koloniala stereotyperna. Det här lyfter också behovet av att problematisera tidigare studier som definierar verket som barnlitteratur och därmed som någonting moraliskt, instruktivt och pedagogiskt snarare än ett verk med litterära kvaliteter. Slutligen så bekräftar resultatet hypotesen och syftet uppfylls. Dessutom visar studien att berättarens kommentarer förstärker osynlighetens funktion och att frågorna som verket belyser är universella och vitala, vilket är något som omkullkastar banaliseringen av verket på grund av dess högt stående litterära kvaliteter.

Full textEn aquesta investigació, en primer lloc, és realitza una anàlisi dels principals mercats de futurs i opcions sobre bestiar en viu, investigant l'origen i l'evolució que han tingut, les causes que han propiciat la situació actual i, a la vegada, identificant tots els contractes de futurs i opcions sobre bestiar en viu que s'han comercialitzat i que es comecialitzen actualment.
En segon lloc, s'analitza l'eficiència dels mercats de futurs sobre bestiar en viu -a partir d'investigacions realitzades, sobretot, als EUA- tot i que el concepte d'eficiència, en aquest context, no ha estat sempre el mateix al llarg dels anys, ja que han variat les situacions socioculturals. Malgrat que en molts estudis s'han arribat a conclusions poc contundents i, en ocasions, contradictòries entre elles, d'acord amb la majoria de les investigacions s'ha trobat que aquests mercats són eficients, tant en l'accepció clàssica com en l'accepció global.
Tanmateix, cada un dels aspectes relacionats amb l'eficiència en l'accepció global s'analitzen individualment. És a dir, s'analitza la capacitat de predicció dels preus d'aquests contractes, les implicacions de les estratègies de cobertura de bestiar en viu, la reacció dels preus d'aquests contractes a la nova informació, la integració i la relació dominant-satèl·lit entre els mercats de futurs sobre bestiar en viu i els mercats al comptat, les implicacions del comportament dels operadors d'aquests mercats i, finalment, el problema del lliurament d'aquests contractes.
En tercer lloc, s'analitzen les repercussions dels mercats d'opcions sobre contractes de futurs que tenen com a producte subjacent bestiar en viu.
En quart lloc, amb els resultats de l'anàlisi de l'eficiència dels mercats de futurs sobre bestiar en viu i de les repercussions de les opcions, s'analitzen els beneficis potencials que podria reportar la implantació d'un mercat d'aquestes característiques en territori català.
Tanmateix, els beneficis d'un mercat de futurs i opcions només es poden produir si el mercat té una bona acceptació i els contractes tenen èxit. En cinquè lloc, doncs, s'analitzen les causes dels èxits i fracassos d'aquest tipus de contractes i el procés d'innovació que segueixen aquests mercats.
En sisè lloc, s'analitzen els condicionants que es tenen en el territori català per la implantació d'un mercat de futurs sobre bestiar en viu aprofundint, sobretot, els condicionats que fan referència a l'entorn productiu del bestiar: l'emmagatzemabilitat o el procés de formació de preus; la homogeneïtat; la variabilitat de preus; la importància econòmica i la competitivitat del mercat; l'existència de contractes a termini; el risc de Base d'altres contractes; els costos de liquiditat; l'estructura i l'activitat del mercat.
Finalment, es fan propostes sobre les característiques que haurien de tenir els contractes de futurs i els contractes d'opcions sobre bestiar en viu, així com sobre les característiques del mercat, en base a totes les anàlisis realitzades, per garantir un bon funcionament i l'èxit dels contractes.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaf 65).
Tract housing has earned its position as the overwhelmingly dominant paradigm of home building and ownership in America because it's such an efficient and therefore cost-effective system. Custom-designed housing has provable benefits over a one size-fits-all approach, but has remained unreachable for the vast majority of home buyers (or at the very least not worth it) due to the price/time/hassle disadvantage of its inefficient production systems. In attempting to make customized housing competitive with the tract home on a price/time/hassle graph, this thesis searches for efficiency through using bricolage; nonstandard, ambiguous components; the principles of object-oriented programming; and the consumer-centric standard practices of e-commerce. A paradigm and accompanying software are created to allow a custom house to be designed in hours rather than months, enabling architects to design by arranging pre-designed multi-room components, as selected from a searchable database, into a single structure that uniquely fits a client's needs. Sample houses are designed and economic estimates are made to gauge the potential competitiveness of such a system with tract housing, as well as the system's potential effect on the overall economy of architecture.

Full textIn the beginning, live-stock merchants were itinerant vendors who bought and sold live-stock at fairs and markets from the middle-ages to the present day. Ethnographical reports, collections of life-stories enable us to tackle the problem of their professional methods, which can be identified with the ritual of live-stock exchange proceeding from long tradition. They "appraise" and "bargain" over live-stock with peasants for other peasants and butchers, bringing into play ancestral knowledge and "know-how" that they assimilated since childhood in the heart of the peasant world from wich they come. On these grounds, the live-stock vendor is an economic, social and cultural "middle-man" in the rural society. But, refered to as a "dealer", he seens more to be an expert in shady trickery and "horse-faking" or "deguising" than the professional, the useful, link, that he actually is

corporal (gruix de dorsal sobre pes viu) i de la locomotricitat (anàlisi de la
marxa).
A partir d'una meta-anàlisi i l'estudi de les dades observades en granja (pes viu
estàtic, gruix de greix dorsal, ingesta), es conclou que la plataforma de força ha
de considerar-se com a eina de diagnòstic de l'alimentació de verres i no com a
eina predictiva de la producció (increment de pes de la garrinada durant
l'alletament) o reproducció (interval desalletament-detecció de zel o bé cubrició
fecundant).
L'estimació de pes viu mitjançant la plataforma de força es veu condicionada
per l'aparició de valors "outliers" que podrien ser exclosos mitjançant una doble
plataforma. Un cop realitzat un correcte retall del senyal rellevant al pas de les
verres sobre la plataforma, es pot estimar amb suficient precisió el pes viu ( 1,1
% RMSE).
Analitzant el senyal sumat al pas de la verra sobre la plataforma de força i per a
diferents bandes de freqüència (entorn, per sota i per sobre de la freqüència
natural de la plataforma, 15 Hz), es valora mitjançant xarxes neuronals si
existeix informació per a quantificar el gruix de greix dorsal o si més no
discriminar entre verres magres i grasses. A partir de la metodologia usada, no
es pot concloure l'existència d'informació per a la quantificació del greix dorsal,
encara que es pot arribar a discriminar, per a freqüències per sobre de la
natural (20-30 Hz), les verres més magres (gruix de greix dorsal per sota de 19
mm) de la resta.
Del tratament del senyal de les cèl·lules de càrrega per separat on es recolza la
plataforma, es valora la posició del centre de gravetat de l'animal i s'intrepeta la
trajectòria en cada moment. De les variables extretes de la comparació entre
trajectòria i posició del centre de gravetat, es pot arribar a agrupar ("clustering")
les verres segons la qualitat de la marxa.
En este trabajo, se pretende analizar las posibilidades que tiene la introducción
de plataformas de fuerza simples (plataforma rígida de 1,5*3,0 m sobre cuatro
células de carga al paso de cerdas sin detener no condicionar) en granja de
producción de lechones para la estimación de peso vivo, valoración de la
condición corporal (grasa dorsal sobre peso vivo) y de la locomotricidad
(análisis de la marcha).
A partir de un meta-análisis y el estudio de datos observados en granja (peso
vivo estático, espesor de grasa dorsal, ingesta), se concluye que la plataforma
de fuerza tiene que ser considerada como un instrumento de diagnóstico de la
alimentación de las cerdas y no como un instrumento predictivo de la
producción (incremento de peso de la camada durante la lactación) o de la
reproducción (intervalo destete-detección de celo o bien cubrición fecundante).
La estimación de peso vivo mediante la plataforma de fuerza está condicionada
por la aparición de valores "outliers" que podrían ser excluidos mediante doble
plataforma. Una vez realizado un correcto recorte de la señal relevante al paso
de las cerdas sobre la plataforma, se puede estimar con suficiente precisión el
peso vivo (1,1 % RMSE).
Analizando la señal sumada al paso de la cerda sobre la plataforma de fuerza y
para diferentes bandas de frecuencia (entorno, por debajo y por encima de la
frecuencia natural de la plataforma, 15 Hz), se valora mediante redes
neuronales la existencia de información para cuantificar el grosor de grasa
dorsal o en todo caso poder discriminar entre cerdas magras y grasas. A partir
de la metodología usada, no se puede concluir que exista información para la
cuantificación de la grasa dorsal, sin embargo se puede llegar a discriminar,
para frecuencias por encima de la natural (20-30 Hz), las cerdas más magras
(espesor de grasa dorsal por debajo de 19 mm) del resto.
Del tratamiento de la señal de las células de carga por separado, se valora la
posición del centro de gravedad del animal y se interpreta su trayectoria en
cada momento. De las variables extraídas de la comparación entre trayectoria y
posición del centro de gravedad, se pueden llegar agrupar ("clustering) las
cerdas según la calidad de la marcha.
Simple force platforms (rigid platform 1,5*3,0 m length on four load cells) are
considered in farm to estimate life weight and to value body condition (backfat
on life weight) and locomotion (gait analysis) of productive sows.
By means of meta-analysis and observation in farm (static life weight, backfat,
daily intake), force platform has to be considered as a diagnostic tool of sow
feeding rather than a predictive one for production (litter weight gain during
lactation) or reproduction (weaning-breeding interval).
"Outliers" in life weight estimation by means of sow passing on force platform
could be excluded by doubling platform. Life weight is rightly estimated (1,1%
RMSE) since a correct extraction of the valuable part of the signal.
Otherwise, sow backfat is pretended to be estimated and discriminated by
analyzing signal at diferent frequency band of platform vibration ( close to,
below to and above to the platform natural frequency, 15 Hz). For that purpose,
artifitial neural networks are used. No significant results have been observed
about backfat estimation, but discrimination could be done on lean sows
(backfat under 19 mm) respect to others using frequency band above natural
one (20-30 Hz).
Finally, treating load cell signal separetaly, sow center of gravity position could
be estimated and its trajectory interpreted each time. Thus, comparing center
of gravity position and trajectory, variables could be extracted to evaluating

Full textThe global aim of this thesis was to expand the knowledge about how Neospora caninum infection affects fetal-maternal crosstalk and uterine immunomodulation.In the first study we evaluated the outcome of pregnancy in dairy heifers after an experimental infection with N. caninum in the second trimester of gestation and we examined the immune response in the fetus .The aim of the second study was to examine PAG-1 and PAG-2 dynamics and trophoblast cell populations following an experimental infection with N. caninum. The third study was designed to determine the effect of an experimental infection of pregnant dairy heifers with N. caninum on PAG-1 and PAG-2 concentrations and pH in amniotic and allantoic fluids.In the fourth study we examined the expression patterns of the genes SERPINA14, PAG1, and PAG2 at the fetal-maternal interface in dairy heifers experimentally infected with N. caninum.In the appendix we estimated the cost of N. caninum infection for the Spanish dairy industry to be $42 million per year. We concluded that N. caninum infection modifies the fetal-maternal crosstalk and the immunological balance of gestation and an increased Th1 immune response during gestation is needed to prevent N. caninum induced abortion.
L'objectiu global d'aquesta tesi va ser ampliar el coneixement sobre com afecta una infecció amb Neospora caninum a la comunicació materno-fetal i la immunomodulació uterina. En el primer estudi es va avaluar el desenllaç de la gestació de vedelles experimentalment infectades amb N. caninum en el segon trimestre de gestació i la resposta inmune del fetus després de la infecció. L'objectiu del segon estudi va ser examinar les dinàmiques de PAG-1 i PAG -2 i les poblacions de cèl·lules trofoblàstiques després d'una infecció amb N. caninum. El tercer estudi es va dissenyar per determinar l’efecte d’ una infecció experimental de N. caninum en vedellles lleteres sobre les concentracions de PAG-1 i PAG-2 i els nivells de pH 20 en els fluïds amniòtic i alantoideu. Al quart estudi es van examinar els patrons d’expressió dels gens SERPINA14, PAG1 i PAG2 en l’interfase materno-fetal de les vedelles lleteres experimentalment infectades amb N. caninum. A l'annex es va calcular el cost de la neosporosi bovina per a les granges lleteres espanyoles en 42 milions de dòlars anuals. La nostra conclusió va ser que la infecció per N. caninum modifica la comunicació materno-fetal i l'equilibri immunològic de la gestació.

Full textFriar Bernardino de Sahagún's Historia general de las cosas de la Nueva Espana, more commonly known as the Florentine Codex, begun in 1558, is arguably the most comprehensive source of information concerning the pre-colonial and colonial indigenous cultures of New Spain. This compilation, produced both by Sahagún and indigenous aides, documents the convergence of Aztec and European cultures. As such it represents the hybrid nature of colonial culture and is best approached from an understanding of both its European and Aztec influences. It is the aim of this thesis to consider the Florentine Codex, and Book Eleven ("Earthly Things") specifically, in the context of the European bestiary tradition. This thesis will illuminate Sahagún's role as a Franciscan missionary and the ways in which he utilized Aztec animal imagery syncretically, for the purpose of evangelization. Analysis takes the form of case studies concerning the jaguar, birds, and serpents.

Full textThis was a product development project performed for AB Gense, a cutlery manufacturer in Eskilstuna. Between different operations during production the work material needs to be cleaned in an alkaline ultrasonic cleaner. The work materials are placed in a cutlery basket where they are in contact with each other. Due to this not all work materials are clean enough after the cleaning which leads to extra work for the operators. The purpose of this project was to develop a new cutlery basket in order to achieve a higher number of clean work materials. The main focus of the project was to develop a cutlery basket suitable for use in an ultrasonic cleaner. The project was based on the principals of the product development process. Interviews and observations were used in order to gather information about the problem. A number of concepts was developed and evaluated theoretically as well as practically together with the company. One concept was selected for further development. Plastic was chosen as material for the concept and 3D-printing for manufacturing since only a few baskets were to be produced. The result was a concept of a cutlery basket consisting of a base with removable supports for the work materials. The support comes in two different heights and has dents on the top in order to separate the work materials. A FEM-analysis was made in order to analyze the impact of the loads on the cutlery basket. It is hard to estimate to which degree the purpose was fulfilled due to the fact that no working prototype has been produced and tested. However the cutlery basket will probably give better results since the work materials are separated during the cleaning process.

Full textThe present work is an analysis of the present state of Neoliberalism seen in the light of Apocalypse Thirteen. In the first chapter, historical and sociological elements are sought, so that they might elucidate the relationship between capitalism and religion. It includes a summary of the consolidation of liberal thought following the ideas of Adam Smith, the welfare state of Keynes, and the theories of Hayek and Neoliberalisms official implantation in the so called Washington Consensus. The chapter addresses the connection between religion and capitalism according to the theories of Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Adam Smith. The second chapter studies the historical roots and characteristics of Apocalyptic Literature. The aim is to identify the movement behind this literature; that is, one of prophetic resistance against a power that oppresses and excludes people. Thus, the apocalyptic books must be read as a contestation and denunciation of the tyranny of the Roman Empire which imposed itself as a god. The third chapter is dedicated to the interpretation of chapter thirteen of the Apocalypse, in which the two beasts are described as receiving their power from the dragon. These are understood as keys that help us unmask the false marketing of religion, built and justified upon neoliberal theories. Finally, the chapter concludes with the reconstruction of hope today, based on the real experience of confronting Neoliberalism as the ultimate model.

Full textDo young people have any news interest? Which subjects interest them most and what is their medium of preference? In order to answer these questions, research was done on news reading trends of young people – both nationally and internationally. A questionnaire was completed by 180 grade 11 scholars from the Western Cape, the Free State and Gauteng. The results of the different provinces are compared in this study to monitor newstrends nationally. The child’s cognitive development phase has an influence on nurturing healthy (news)reading habits. In this study the correlation is explored by using Jean Piaget’s (1896-1980) theory of cognitive development stages. From interviews with the JIP supplement editors (Beeld, Burger and Volksblad), as well as the cell phone companies (MTN, Vodacom en Cell C) the biggest obstacles and possible strategies to draw young readers were identified. In this work the public’s need for media, as well as the influence of the media on the society (especially the youth) is discussed by looking at Fourie’s (2001) model of short term and long term influences of media on the society. The study showed that the majority of young people see one news bulletin (newspaper, television and/or radio) per week as sufficient. Research results indicated that the medium of preference for news headlines among young people is SMS. Just less than half of the respondents are willing to pay for such a service. The second medium of preference to receive news is noted as youth newspapers. The main news subjects amongst the youth is entertainment, followed by sport and sosial issues. Political and international news seems to be less popular amongs this group.

Através do incentivo ao desenvolvimento da irrigação - a partir da década de 40 - e da implementação de um projeta nacional de politica de produção de energia, que previa a construção de grandes barragens ao longo do rio São Francisco tendo como objetivo último a produção de energia elétrica, a ação do Poder Público instalou na região do Submédio São Francisco, um acelerado processo de transformações que redirecionaram suas práticas agrícolas mais tradicionais. O presente trabalho tenta resgatar aspectos desse processo na forma em que estes são representados por uma comunidade de camponeses que residia, até 1987, em quatro ilhas do Rio São Francisco, no município de Belém do São Francisco - PE, quando foi retirada da área pela Cia. Hidro Elétrica do São Francisco (CHESF), para dar lugar ao reservatório da Barragem de Itaparica, e transferida para o Projeto Caraíbas - projeto de irrigação construído pela empresa, em Santa Maria da Boa vista - PE, para reassentar famílias atingidas pela barragem. Privilegiam-se três momentos significativos de transformações, que correspondem a efeitos diretos ou indiretos da ação do Estado na área, a saber: a implantação da agricultura irrigada, a construção das Barragens de Sobradinho e a de Itaparica. Tratando-se de um estudo sobre representações, interessa-se, prioritariamente, não pelo processo em si de transformações da comunidade, mas como este é percebido e representado no discurso dos seus integrantes.
