Full textAbstract:
Mossberg (1998) bekräftar att batch-baserad logstik inom bokbranschen har flertalet negativa konsekvenser. Mossberg (1998) skriver följande; ”ETT PÅGÅENDE RESURSSLÖSERI De osålda böckerna drar på sig transport- och lagerkostnader… …överskottet -- inte sällan mer än halva upplagan! -- makuleras inom en treårsperiod. Bortsett från det stötande i detta resursslöseri bidrar förfarandet till att den svenska bokmarknaden har fått den ’’färskvaruprägel’’ som tidigare berörts -- och som innebär en tidsmässig begränsning av den svenskspråkiga litteraturen.” (Mossberg, 1998) Mossbergs (1998) iakttagelser stödjer även de observationer vi gjort på fallföretaget. Detta är också grunden till vårt projekt där vi bidrar till ett mera effektivt och hållbart arbetssätt hos en av Sveriges största ekonomiboksproducenter. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka fördelar som enligt teorin kan uppnås vid en övergång från en batch-baserad till en print-on-demand baserad logistikhantering av böcker. Målet är att presentera rekommendationer för beslutsfattande och framtida strategi för fallföretaget, men också för att hjälpa andra företag med liknande krav och behov. Denna fallstudie genomförs på ett svenskt företag där man i huvudsak arbetar med kundservice/support till företag som använder sig av deras bokföringsprogram och servicetjänster. En viktig del i deras tjänst innebär publicering samt e-försäljning av informationsböcker. Vi har dock kunnat se att ytterst lite görs för att förbättra sin kvalitet inom detta område. Vår undersökning visar att fallföretaget sammantaget skulle vinna flera fördelar genom att använda sig utav en print-on-demand-lösning. Detta eftersom man skulle förbättra sin kvalitet i alla de avseenden vi fokuserat på, med en lägre totalkostnad, ingen kapitalbindning och en minskad påverkan på miljön.<br>Mossberg (1998) confirms that batch-based logistics in the book industry has several negative consequences. Mossberg (1998) writes the following; "AN ONGOING WASTE OF RESOURCES The unsold books are incurring transportation and inventory costs ... ... surplus - often more than half the recipients edition! -- canceled within three years. Aside from the offensive in this waste of resources, this procedure contributes to the fact that the Swedish book market has got the '' fresh character '' as mentioned earlier -- and as entails a temporal limitation of the Swedish-language literature" (Mossberg, 1998) Mossberg's (1998) findings also support the observations we have made in this study. This constitutes the foundation of this survey, where we contributes for a more effective and sustainable operation at one of Sweden's largest economy book producers. The purpose of this study is to examine the advantages and disadvantages that come with make-to-stock and a batch based logistics management of books. But also to identify the advantages that, according to the theory, can be achieved in a transition to make-to-order with a print-on-demand solution. The goal is to present recommendations for decision-making and future strategy for the company where this study took place, as well as to help other companies with similar needs and requirements. This case study is conducted at a Swedish company which essentially work with customer service / support to businesses using their accounting software and services. An important part of their service means publishing as well as e-books sale of information books. We have noticed that little is done to improve their efficiency and quality in this area. Our study shows that this company would gain several benefits by making use out of a print-on-demand solution. This because it would improve their quality in all respects we’ve focused on, with a lower total cost, no tied up capital and en reduced environmental impact.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação trata de um estudo sobre produção de livros sob demanda em dois momentos distintos da indústria gráfica. Apresentamos uma abordagem histórica do percurso do livro, segundo seus atributos materiais e
tecnológicos, que marcaram a transformação de seu caráter fabril de micro e pequena escalas à produção em massa. Ao analisar referências manufatureiras de tiragem limitada do livro no âmbito da impressão tipográfica e digital, observamos o
papel que o design é capaz de exercer, representando uma conexão entre esses dois registros técnicos intrinsecamente diferentes. Através da utilização de um
modelo descritivo de obras sob o ponto de vista do design gráfico, buscamos pontos de convergência e divergência passíveis de auxiliar na compreensão do atual contexto de transição por que passa o mercado editorial.<br>The concerned dissertation is based on a study about on-demand book production in two distinct periods of the Graphic Industry. By its material and technological attributes, we present a historical approach on the route of the book which marked the transformation of its manufacturing character from micro and short scale to mass production. By analyzing manufacturer references on limited book print runs in the typographical and digital printing field, we observe the role that design is capable of playing by representing a connection between these two intrinsically
different technical registers. Amongst the use of a bookwork descriptive model in the point of view of graphic design, we search for converging and diverging nodes liable to assist the comprehension of the current transition context that passes through the editorial market.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis has been to analyze whether booms in the iron ore market has any significant effects on local labor markets in certain municipalities in Norrbotten County during the time period 2000-2016. Previous research has established that certain types of booms and busts influenced local labor markets. The analysis was done by using panel data and regression models where the results where compared over non-mining and mining municipalities. The results gave a vague response with both conclusive and inconclusive results over the variables investigated. The main conclusion is that although the mining industry is a big part of local labor markets in Norrbotten County, it is important for firms and policymakers to understand that the mining industry is not the only important factor and that decisions should not be entirely based on the mining industry and its markets.<br>Målet med denna uppsats var att analysera ifall booms i järnmalmsmarknaden har någon signifikant påverkan på lokala arbetsmarknader i utvalda kommuner i Norrbotten under tidsperioden 2000–2016. Tidigare forskning har fastställt att vissa booms och busts kan influera lokala arbetsmarknader. Analysen har genomförts med paneldata och regressionsmodeller där resultat jämförts mellan gruvkommuner och ickegruvkommuner. Resultaten gav otydliga resultat då vissa var konklusiva medan andra inte var konklusiva. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen som nåtts är att även om gruvindustrin är en viktig del av de lokala arbetsmarknaderna, är det viktigt för företag och beslutsfattare att förstå att gruvindustrin inte är den enda påverkande faktorn och att framtida beslut och satsningar inte enbart ska baseras kring gruvindustrin och dess marknad.

A detailed english description (three pages) is enclosed in the publication<br>Die heutige Menge an textuellen Informationen erfordert vom Interessenten eine adäquate Selektion und Rezeption. Als printmedientechnischer Beitrag zur Lösung dieser Problematik wird das Book-on-Demand- (BoD) Verfahren in Verbindung mit einer individuellen Auswahl von Buchinhalten genutzt. Dazu wird in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Formalismus entwickelt, der im Rahmen eines BoD-Workflows die kontextspezifische logische Neustrukturierung von Einheiten eines bestehenden elektronischen Buches automatisiert. Als Grundlage dient das aus der Graphentheorie bekannte Modell des minimalen Spannbaums (MSB). Bei der Bildung des MSB werden vor allem die primäre, vom Autor des bestehenden Buches vorgegebene, logische Struktur und eine dem Buch zu Grunde liegende Taxonomie ausgewertet. Für eine prototypische Implementierung des formalen Modells wird eine geeignete Softwarearchitektur für XML-kodierte Bücher entwickelt. Die Bewertung der resultierenden Buchgliederungen wird durch neuartige Metriken für logische Strukturen unterstützt

Full textAbstract:
Antalet personer insjuknade i demenssjukdom stiger, från 25 miljoner år 2000 till vad som beräknas uppgå till 63 miljoner år 2030. Demens kan beskrivas som en global störning av intellektuella funktioner där den kognitiva förmågan inklusive kommunikation är påverkad. Högtekonologiska hjälpmedel som kommunikativt stöd för personer med demens är i nuläget ett outforskat område med begränsad evidens där få studier har genomförts.Syftet med föreliggande studie var att kartlägga vilka samtalsfenomen som förekom mellan en person med demens och dennes samtalspartners med och utan surfplatta med applikationen Book Creator. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka en av samtalspartnernas upplevelse av att kommunicera med personen med demens. Studien genomfördes på ett boende för personer med demenssjukdom där sammanlagt nio samtal spelades in, sex samtal utan surfplatta med applikationen Book Creator och tre samtal med surfplatta med applikationen Book Creator. Materialet omfattade 2 h och 25 min och transkriberades enligt samtalsanalytiska principer med fokus på specifika samtalsfenomen. Fem fenomen identifierades; initiativtagande, gemensam grund, koherens, ofullständig gemensam grund och icke-koherens. Frekvensen av dessa förekommande fenomen kalkylerades i procent i förhållande till det totala antalet talarturer.Resultaten visade att de samtalsfenomen som inbegrep ofullständig gemensam grund och icke-koherens med en marginell skillnad förekom i mindre frekvens i samtal med applikationen Book Creator. Personen med demens tog initiativ i lika hög utsträckning i samtal med och utan applikationen och det föreföll slutligen inte föreligga några skillnader avseende gemensam grund och koherens mellan deltagarna i samtalet med respektive utan applikationen. Det kunde även urskiljas att personen med demens kunde hantera applikationen Book Creator på egen hand med visst stöd. Samtalspartnerns upplevelser av kommunikativa svårigheter hos personer med demens, strategier för att bemöta dessa och ett behov av ökad utbildning om kommunikativt bemötande ligger i linje med tidigare forskning.<br>The number of people who are affected by dementia is expected to increase, from 25 million in the year 2000 to approximately 63 million in the year 2030. Dementia can be described as a global disorder of intellectual functions, where the cognitive ability including communication is affected. High technological communication aids that support people with dementia in their communication are currently an underexplored area with limited evidence. The aim of the present study was to identify interactional phenomena occurring in interaction involving one person with dementia with and without a tablet with the application Book Creator. A further aim was to examine how the conversation partner experienced the communication of the person with dementia. The study was conducted in a residential care facility for people with dementia where a total of nine conversations were recorded, six conversations without the application and three conversations with the application. The material comprised 2 hours and 25 minutes and was transcribed according to Conversation Analytic principles. Five phenomena were identified: initiative, common ground, coherence, incomplete common ground and non-coherence. The frequency of occurrence of these phenomena was calculated in percentage of their occurrence in relation to total number of turns.The result in the present study indicated that the interactional phenomena involving incomplete common ground and non-coherence occurred in a reduced frequency in conversations with the application Book Creator. The person with dementia took the initiative to the same extent in interactions with and without the application. There appeared to be no differences regarding common ground and coherence between the participants in the conversation with and without the application. The analysis also revealed that the person with dementia could handle the tablet with the application Book Creator on her own with some support. The results are in accordance with research regarding communicative difficulties in people with dementia, strategies to address these difficulties and the need of increased training in communicative treatment in dementia.

Previous issue date: 2012-11-28<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>This work presents results of research on the uses of books and learning
materials for literacy teachers in the initial grades of elementary school, having as
scenario the the municipal public network of the city of Praia Grande, in the state of São Paulo. It assumes that books and other didactic materials are designed to support and complement the work of the teacher in the classroom. It aims to understand the relationship that the teacher establishes with literacy didactic materials that arrive in schools from central agencies of education. The research approach is qualitative. The data that provide base to the conclusions that was reached in this study were collected through questionnaires, interviews and observation of systematic practices and analyzed under the guidance of scholars of the textbook, as Freitag, Munakata, Bittencourt and Rojo; scholars of literacy and reading as Mortatti and Soares, and scholars of teacher education and public policy, as Contreras, Ball, Nóvoa and Tardiff. It concludes that the literacy teacher does not take the textbook as a tool necessarily guiding the planner and their practical daily that the teacher, to make use of books and other learning materials, can act with autonomy and creativity, especially when evidences a general and vocational training solid and consistent.<br>Esta dissertação de mestrado apresenta resultados de investigação sobre usos de
livros e materiais didáticos de alfabetização por professores das séries iniciais do ensino
fundamental, tendo como cenário a rede pública municipal da cidade de Praia Grande,
no estado de São Paulo. Parte do pressuposto que livros e demais materiais didáticos são
concebidos para apoiar e complementar o trabalho do professor em sala de aula. Tem
por objetivo geral compreender a relação que o professor alfabetizador estabelece com
os materiais didáticos que chegam nas escolas, provenientes de órgãos centrais dos
sistemas de ensino. A abordagem da pesquisa é qualitativa. Os dados que dão lastro às
conclusões a que se chegou neste trabalho foram coletados por meio de questionários,
entrevistas e observação sistemática de práticas e analisados sob a orientação de
estudiosos do livro didático, como Freitag, Munakata, Bittencourt e Rojo; de estudiosos
da alfabetização, leitura e letramento, como Mortatti e Soares; e de estudiosos da
formação de professores e das políticas públicas educacionais, como Contreras, Ball,
Nóvoa e Tardiff. Conclui que o professor alfabetizador não toma o livro didático como
instrumento necessariamente norteador e planejador da sua prática pedagógica; que o
professor, ao fazer uso do livro e demais materiais didáticos, pode agir com autonomia e
criatividade, sobretudo quando evidencia uma formação geral e profissional sólida e
consistente.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>企業管理學系研究所<br>106<br>The study empirically investigates the factors, including book-specific characteristics and book information on user interface, affecting demand for best-selling books, and the determinants of book price. By using random sampling approach, 1831 books were selected from “Books” online book store; we used logistic regression to analyze these data. The results show that foreign books and more words for recommendation tend to be best sellers; in addition, the results also indicate the books that were made into movies or games, winning the literally prize, and more Taiwanese celebrities recommendation have positive and significant effect on the probability of being the best sellers. We also found that famous author without introduction on interface have higher probability as best sellers. Though the words for book introduction is not significant in the model, its interaction with online search times of the author is significant. Moreover, we found that cost of books is the major factor influencing price.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>設計學系<br>103<br>The purpose of this research is to (1) explore and categorize current cloth books, (2) understand the usage of cloth books amongst young children, (3) study the general interest of consumers and provide opportunities for consumers to redesign their preferred cloth books. This research is based upon the analysis of current cloth books and interviews from consumers. After analyzing the material production and physical appearance of cloth book samples with 30 variations in 2014. The study of cloth books are categorized based on its six characteristics: its basic functionality, variation of design, actual materials used, enhancement of accessories, structure and size, audible additions and usage of reflector materials. Furthermore, interviews with consumers and reactions to various cloth books amongst children between ages zero to three years old are examined. Infants are less likely to engage with cloth books due to its difficulty in text and visual content. however, mature children might find cloth books lack depth to gage their interests. To optimize the versatility of cloth books, this research is examines various cloth books and its compatibility to its users’ age. Elements that may influence consumers’ desire to purchase cloth books includes: (1) its distinct drawing style and its usage of vibrant colors and patterns, (2) accessories and gears that enhance the development of children’s fine motor skills, and (3) the actual content of the book and its ability to capture the learner’s attention. Cloth books that has lower ratings are due to reasons such as: (1) simplicity in design, lack of innovation in variety, and (2) the cloth book itself can be easily replaced by paper books or toys. Consumers may find it difficult to purchase or use a cloth book because of its accessibility to the Taiwanese market. Other reasons that contribute to the cloth book’s unpopularity may be due to its incapability to uphold multiple pages, its steep pricing, maintenance of the cloth book as a whole, cloth book’s cleanness and the actual safety and production of the materials used for the cloth book. This study recommends future manufacturers of cloth books accommodate the Taiwanese market through usage of themes but also provide customization and repair services. Following are eight suggestions to enhance cloth book productions: (1) fonts should be larger than 22 pt, (2) length of the story in context should cover at least 10 pages for rich storylines, (3) materials used for the cloth book should be light and quilted with cotton stuffing for easy usage and cleaning, (4) increase the stability, strength of stitching, quality and functionality by using non-toxic materials and accessories, (5) design relatable themes for the Taiwanese market, (6) adding mandarin translations and providing book guides will create a more intimate setting between parents and their children, (7) customization to fit the user’s needs, (8) offer repair services for extended use.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>資訊工程研究所<br>99<br>Web 2.0 trend is popular for several years. Many Web 2.0 system, such as “Wikipedia”, “Youtube”, etc., have very rich contents through the sharing and spreading by the users of social networks. Recently, mobile technologies are booming, which brings many handheld devices to the market, such as iPhone, iPad, Android phone, Android pad, etc. Especially iPad, it brings global people to use “eBook”, a “book size” of device, is more suitable for people to read information in many circumstances.
However, useful information on the web is usually separated among different web pages. When a user navigates WWW using handheld devices, he may confront a situation that very hard to navigate the web pages or hard to find useful information. Therefor, how to collect useful information in an efficiency way, and to provide a friendly user interface in handheld devices so that people can access these information anytime and anywhere
is becoming a important topic.
Based on this idea, this Thesis propose a Book-on-Demand mechanism to collect the rich contents from WWW and generate an eBook presentation style in handheld devices for people who can read the contents very easily. Our system uses technology include HTML 5, CSS 3, and JQuery, which is called “Web Application”, to build an eBook presentation style content which can provide better interactive functions and high quality reading experiences not only for PC, but also for handheld devices. We hope that this Book-on-Demand mechanism can be applied in many applications such as eLearning and digital content industries.

碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>資訊教育研究所<br>87<br>With multimedia presentation of web page and connection of each web site by hyperlink, World Wide Web, web for short, is a widespread knowledge base. There are veriaty and plenty contents in web and these contents are good resources for author composing book.
However, there are three drawbacks when users browse the web. First, the page loading is slowly. Second, with non-sequential hyperlink, users will be cognitive overhead and become disoriented. Third, users usually switch one site to another frequently to look for more complete information. The primary concern of this paper is to offer a tool to help authors composing logical books on web, and avoid drawbacks we mention above.
We propose a personalized book-on-demand model, BOD for short, and implement a BOD system. In BOD system, author can compose logical books and share them to subnet users. We offer users almost realtime browsing by using full-download policy and preload policy; we offer a hierarchical table of content of the book to avoid disorientation; we offer an off-line book editor to help author composing book called “web book”. The off-line book editor collects related resources from web for author. Finally, we publish the web logical book on BOD server and offer user browsing in order to achieve our goal: book on demand.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>會計學系企業高階管理<br>98<br>E-book is replacing paper book; it will be the market trend by nowadays advanced technology and the raise of eco-conscious. The popularity of E-Book is cause by its practical, content and price competitiveness in order to change reader’s reading habit. However, the market response is not as good as a lot of major companies thought when they have tried to attempt to E-Book’s market. Industry analysts point out that it will still be a while for people to accept the idea of E-Book due to the price, content, technology, and consumer’s reading habit, privacy and other factors.
This thesis analyses of relevant literature by using Delphi method. By inviting 12 of experts, professors and sales managers who are in charge of sales of the E-Book; I had interviews them and also did three times of survey by using Delphi method. Gathering all the information related on E-Book, also take useful suggestions, point of view, and ideas from those experts. After analyzing the data, taking suggestions from the experts, I came out with 7 factors of [The factors of how to success increasing the demand of E-Book market]. The factor of the price – what the cost is to download a book; The factor of content – the contain of the book selections; The factor of demand – the participate of major hardware and software vendors; The factor of publisher – the participate of publisher if they want to publish electronic books; The factor of product – the actual reading time of one fully charged battery; The factor of market – the profit for the publisher to publish E-Book; The factor of politics – government and its education program’s new E-Book backpack policy for middle school and elementary students; Total of seven factors.
I hope to find the key factors of success increasing the demand of E-Book market, and to understand if the E-Book product is mature enough for the public to accept. Also hope to give the E-Book vendors or future vendors reference of planning, understanding the market demand so they can improve their product base on my thesis.

Full textAbstract:
The study examined preschool students’ use of thinking strategies when responding to deep structure questions during interactive book readings. The children were enrolled in two different inclusive preschool classrooms in a large Midwestern city. The study explored which thinking strategies the preschool children used when answering deep structure questions. Also under investigation was the potential difference in usage of thinking strategies between general education and special education students. Data collected included observations and frequency tallies. Information gathered was analyzed using independent sample T-Tests. The classrooms were combined to generate a larger population.
Analysis showed the preschool students in the two inclusive preschool classrooms used all seven thinking strategies during interactive book read alouds. Frequency counts revealed a higher mean usage of schema, making inferences, and determining importance. Further, these strategies were as likely to be used by a general education student as a special education student. Based on the results of the study, teachers should guide and instruct their students about stories within discussions. Teachers should also select engaging texts guided by student interest, student background, or classroom project. This will allow them to build on information that students have and also create learning opportunities in the classroom that affects the classroom community.<br>Department of Elementary Education

碩士<br>開南大學<br>企業與創業管理學系<br>98<br>Under the circumstances thato the government actively promotes industry's development program of ' Two Trillion and Twin Star', the image display industry can be considered as one of the key industries of our country development. Most companies and research in recent years engage in a large number of resources to develop the new developing application of display, the development of Paper-like display is engaged actively. Paper-like display is as thin as slice that its appearance can be accomplished like the paper or the projection; however, it has combined computer and personal digital assistants (PDA) and also has the advantage of upgrading information. But the development of the paper like displays still belongs to the stage of researching and developing at present, every technological development can be designed for different market demand, perhaps can have different display technologies at the same time in the future. “Flexible e-book” is the theme of studying in this research. This research launches the way through the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and makes comparative analysis between 20 consumer demands and 15 technological classifications, and through Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM), consulting all kinds of expert, scholar and industry personage in “Flexible e-book”. Moreover, this research discusses the important degree of function and characteristic of the consumer’s demand in “Flexible e-book”, and expected to obtain the attention degree of criterion of every demand in “Flexible e-book” for the government to promote the scientific and technological industry, design and manufacture of electron scientific and technological manufacturer as the reference basis in this kind of new product in Taiwan in the future. The result of this research analysis in “Flexible e-book” acquires that “can bent to arc”, “can be curl” and “can be folded” these three kinds of characteristics are essential points of primary development.

Full textAbstract:
The academic publishing sector in South Africa is facing many changes and challenges in a post- 1994 democracy. Most of these changes were brought about by the Higher Education Act No 101 of 1997. Challenges and new trends include new business and threats from multinational corporations; a limited buying market at higher education level; a need for localised content; new emerging technologies in publishing and knowledge distribution; the merging of 36 higher education institutions into 22; escalating book production costs and book prices; a non-book buying and book reading culture; illegal photocopying and widespread copyright infringement; changing student and lecturer profiles including the language of instruction; increasing pressure on academics to publish research; inefficient student loan schemes; decreasing library acquisition budgets and the transformation of the publishing industry itself in terms of BBBEE. Within the midst of all these challenges, publishers are faced with a new trend, that of selfpublishing of academic textbooks, which lecturers then prescribe to their own group of students. Self-publishing implies that authors undertake all processes related to publishing on their own, including the financial risk of publishing a book. There is a multitude of literature available on self-publishing, but very little focuses on this trend within the academic environment. A literature survey of self-publishing provided various reasons and conditions for the existence of the phenomenon. The researcher made use of two questionnaires that were sent to academic campus bookshops and academic self-publishing authors. From the results of these two surveys it is evident that academic self-publishing is an increasing trend in the higher education environment of South Africa. Reasons for self-publishing collected from the literature survey were supported by the empirical research findings from the two surveys. The main reasons for self-publishing in the academic environment include financial incentives; a volatile author-publisher relationship; issues of copyright and control; possible rejection suffered by authors; technological advances and a sense of community service among academics and lecturing staff. The study was able to prove the existence of academic self-publishing in the higher education environment of South Africa. Academic self-publishing is most apparent in the academic fields of Business, Economics and Management Sciences to the extent that it could have far-reaching financial impact on markets that are traditionally lucrative for commercial publishers. Commercial publishers are encouraged to engage with author associations and seek out possible new alternatives to satisfying author needs in a changing market place.<br>Dissertation (MIS)--University of Pretoria, 2008.<br>Information Science<br>unrestricted

A presente dissertação apresenta-se como um projecto de desconstrução dos casos referentes a possessões demoníacas, presentes nos livros de milagres portugueses. Neste género de relatos, podem verificar-se variadas informações sobre as vítimas dos casos estudados, nomeadamente o nome, sexo, origem geográfica, parentesco, etc. Contudo, também se encontram referências aos demónios, actores que parecem abrir a porta da esfera privada, revelando os pecados, nas suas confissões sobre as motivações que os levaram a atacar as vítimas. De igual modo, nestes episódios faz-se referência aos métodos de cura para os endemoniados, parecendo existir um método para o exorcismo e um perfil do exorcista na Idade Média. Além dos relatos portugueses, foram estudados os casos ocorridos no reino espanhol, com o propósito de encontrar elementos de divergência e/ou convergência entre ambos.
Mais do que estudar os casos determinados como possessões demoníacas, pretendeu-se também escrutinar os «olhares» sobre estes. Com este propósito foram estudadas um conjunto de fontes de cariz legislativo e doutrinário, capazes de apresentar a imagem que estes dois instrumentos teceriam sobre os endemoniados, se seriam vítimas ou agentes do distúrbio social.<br>This dissertation is presented as a project to deconstruct the cases concerning demonic possessions, present in the Portuguese books of miracles. In this kind of reports, there can be varied information about the victims of the studied cases, namely the name, sex, geographical origin, kinship, etc. However, are also references to demons, actors who seem to open the door of the private sphere, revealing the sins in their confessions about the motivations that led them to attack the victims. Similarly, in these episodes reference is made to healing methods for the demoniacated, there seems to be a method for exorcism and an exorcist profile in the Middle Ages. Besides the Portuguese reports, the cases that occurred in the Spanish kingdom were studied, with the purpose of finding elements of divergence and / or convergence between them.
More than studying the cases determined as demonic possessions, it was also intended to scrutinize the "looks" on them. For this purpose, a set of legislative and doctrinal sources were studied, capable of presenting the image that these two instruments would weave over the demoniac, whether they were victims or agents of social disturbance.
