Este trabalho tem por objetivo estabelecer a relação entre argumentação e justiça no pensamento de Chaïm Perelman. Com este fim, são apresentadas as fontes as quais se utilizou o autor para construção de sua teoria. Notadamente, como o fez Chaïm Perelman, retomar-se-á o pensamento de Aristóteles e a tradição que nele sustenta o modo de argumentar nas diferentes matérias do conhecimento humano, bem como, o vínculo entre direito e justiça. Os raciocínios jurídicos são, nesta perspectiva, raciocínios dialéticos, e não analíticos. A lógica jurídica utiliza provas dialéticas com o intuito de obter decisões judiciais que respondam ao ideal social de justiça e eqüidade. Neste aspecto, Chaïm Perelman critica a apreciação moderna de direito baseada em um dogma da cientificidade como objetividade e precisão, bem como, a forma matemática de tratar o direito. Sua análise parte da formação do Estado Moderno e o movimento das grandes codificações e culmina na apreciação da ciência do direito no modelo proposto pela Teoria Pura do Direito de Hans Kelsen. Ce travail a pour but d´établir la relation entre l´argumentation et la justice dans la pensée de Chaïm Pereleman. A cette fin, on présente les principales sources employées par cet auteur dans la construction de sa théorie. On reviendra notamment, comme Perelman a lui-même fait, sur la pensée d´Aristote et sur une certaine tradiction qui trouve chez Aristote les différents modes d´argumentation chez les différentes disciplines scientifiques ainsi que le lien étroit entre le Droit et la justice. Les raisonnements juridiques sont compris, dans cette perspective, comme appartenant plutôt à l´ordre dialectique qu´à lórdre analytique. La logique juridique emploie des preuves dialetiques dans le but d´obtenir des décisions judicielles capables de répondre à l´idéal de justice et équité. Dans ce sens, Chaïm Perelman critique la compréhension moderne du Droit basée sur les dogmes de scientificité, comme l´objectivité et l´exactitude ainsi que sur la manière trop mathématique d´envisager le Droit. L´analyse faite par Perelman prend son point de départ dans la formation de l´État Moderne et dans le mouvement de codification pour se terminer dans la considération de la science du droit selon le modèle proposé par la Théorie Pure du Droit de Hans Kelsen.

Notre intérêt pour la Théorie de l'Argumentation de Chaim Perelman est liée à la proposition d'un modèle juridique préconisé par lui pour les sciences humaines dont le statut épistémologique est encore mis en question dans nos jours. Les sciences humaines camouflent cette difficulte en recherchant, d'une façon inacceptable, le modèle appliqué aux sciences mathématiques. A notre avis, la Nouvelle Rhétorique élaboré par Perelman est la réponse au concept restreint de raison, développé par la logique formelle et imposé aux domaines qui rendent compte de nos préférences et nos décisions.
Nosso interesse pela Teoria da Argumentação de Chaim Perelman se relaciona à proposta de um modelo jurídico preconizado por ele para as ciências humanas, que têm ainda seu estatuto epistemológico questionado, disfarçando esta dificuldade na procura inaceitável do modelo aplicado nas ciências matemáticas. A Nova Retórica elaborada por Perelman é, a nosso ver, a resposta ao conceito restrito de razão desenvolvido pela lógica formal e imposto aos domínios que expressam nossas preferências e embasam nossas decisões.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to examine the work and critical and popular reception of Parisian painter Chaim Soutine (1893-1943) in the contexts of four main readings: Soutine's interrogation of the visual traditions and iconographies of the past; his lifelong interest in the themes, forms and meanings of Christian visual culture; the implications of a series of artist-imposed 'frames' in relation to Soutine's more general practice of reframing existing motifs in his own compositions; and popular receptions of the artist and his work. These areas of focus represent new engagement with Soutine's art and depart from the dominant critical trends at work in Soutine studies to date. Critics have typically read Soutine's work within biographical, anecdotal or stylistic contexts, writing a highly individual-centred narrative of this artist's practice and oeuvre, which has established Soutine as a particular type of artist. Within that narrative he is cast in an expressionist persona and his work is a direct articulation of emotional intensity, even madness. Framing Soutine's art in this way fails to position it historically, culturally or artistically and also obscures more significant aspects of his production active throughout his career. The aspects of Soutine's art forming the focus of this thesis, listed above, run counter to traditional patterns of engagement by focusing on issues less concerned with (but which do not completely do away with) biography. Their study thus offers the opportunity for Soutine's art-historical repositioning. This task is now considerably overdue, a fact especially evident in the perpetuation of established critical trends in the most recent contributions to Soutine studies in 2008. This thesis presents a new view of Chaim Soutine and his art and suggests how he should be positioned in future art history - rather than an acerebral, inexperienced artist, new approaches to his work reveal Soutine as a targeted, purposeful painter, whose practice engages with and challenges some of art history's most enduring concerns.

Abstract:
The present thesis aims to investigate Perelman´s proposal of a New Rhetoric, and by doing so, it intends to achieve a better understanding of philosophical discourse. The most important objectives of this work are: defining the fundamental concepts and distinctions of a new theory of argumentation; investigating the specificity of philosophical argumentation - through the clarification of the concept of universal audience -: and finnally analyzing the relationship between persuading and convincing and between contextualism and universalism - establishing, therefore, the Perelman´s place in the contemporany debate concerning argumentation. It is pointed out the closeness between Perelman´s and Haberman´s thoughts, as well as the distance between Perelman´s thinking and Rorty´s and Apel´s. It is shown how, depending of the point of view - if it is internal or external to the audience -, philosophy can be regarded as a discourse bounded by a given context or, on the othrer hand, as an open argumentation aiming at the universal.
Esta dissertação pretente analisar a proposta de Perelman de uma Nova Retórica e, partindo dela, compreender melhor o discurso filosófico. As principais metas desse trabalho são: definir os conceitos e distinções fundamentais de uma teoria da argumentação; investigar a especificidade da argumentação filosófica, clareando o conceito de auditório universal; e estudar a relação entre persuasão e convencimento e entre contextualismo e universalismo, situando Perelman no debate contemporâneo relativo à argumentação. Pretendemos indicar a aproximação existente entre o pensamento perelmaniano e o habermasiano, bem como sua distância relativamente a Rorty e Apel, e mostrar como, dependendo do ponto de vista - interno ou externo ao auditório -, a filosofia pode ser vista como um discurso limitado a um contexto dado ou como uma argumentação aberta que visa o universal.

Abstract:
Le judaïsme est le substrat de l'oeuvre de Chaim Potok. La fiction potokienne propose une véritable immersion dans le monde juif orthodoxe américain et se réclame miroir de cette réalité. Le parti pris de réalisme de Potok, servi par l'outil descriptif, répond à sa volonté de témoignage. La première partie de cette étude est consacrée à l'ancrage géographique et sociologique de l'univers représenté. La seconde partie met en relief l'inscription de l'Histoire dans l'oeuvre de Potok. Cependant, la fiction potokienne ne saurait être perçue comme une simple image mimétique de la réalité : une fonction didactique et idéologique se détache. Le contenu même de l'écriture de Potok trahit son héritage éthique hébraïque. Aussi, la troisième partie s'attache aux aspects éthiques et mystiques de l'oeuvre potokienne. En filigrane de cette oeuvre, se trouve posée la question du Mal. L'influence du système de pensée kabbalistique se révèle à cet égard particulièrement prégnante. Enfin, la Shoah est au coeur de cette réflexion sur le Mal, véritable interrogation philosophique sur l'indicible que Potok nous propose
Judaism is the essence of Chaim Potok's work. Potokian fiction, a profound immersion in the world of orthodox American Jewry, claims to mirror this reality. Potok's realistic perspective, aided by his descriptive technique, provides an accurate testimony of this world. The first part of this thesis concentrates on the geographical and sociological contexts of the wolrd depicted by Potok, while the second part focuses on a portayal of the Jewish-American community as it grapples with History. Potokian fiction cannot be understood as merely a portrait of reality, its didactic and ideological functions prevent such simplification. Indeed, the content of Potok's writing reveals the author's Hebraic ethical heritage : thus, this third part of this study focuses on the ethical and mystical aspects of his fiction. The problem of evil is woven into all of Potok's work, with Cabbalistic thought a particularly pregnant influence in this respect. As the Shoah is at the heart of his reflection on the notion of evil, Potok offers a true philosophical examination of the inexpressible

Full text
Abstract:
La << nouvelle rhetorique >> de chaim perelman vise a renouer le lien du discours persuasif et de la raison. Si elle va a rebours de la tradition de pensee platonicienne et cartesienne, elle ne preconise cependant ni de revenir aux sophistes, ni de limiter la rhetorique a l'etude des << tropes >> developpee par du marsais au 18eme siecle. Centree sur l'argumentation, elle puise sa source dans la rhetorique d'aristote. Mais il ne s'agit pas seulement de reactualiser un texte repute mineur de l'oeuvre du stagirite. La pensee de perelman s'est constituee sur le terrain de la philosophie du droit, par le double refus du jusnaturalisme (antique ou moderne) et du normativisme de kelsen. Elle s'approfondit par la critique des conceptions metaphysique et sophistique de la raison, presupposant toutes deux le dualisme de la raison et de la volonte. Cette critique donne a perelman l'occasion de redecouvrir, dans la sociologie morale de dupreel, une theorie non reductrice de la genese conventionnelle de la raison. Mais c'est l'influence de frege qui est la plus determinante : comme ce dernier a mis en evidence le sens logique et les normes de validite du raisonnement demonstratif, de meme perelman se propose d'expliciter le sens rhetorique et les conditions de validite du raisonnement argumentatif. Au modele mathematique de rationalite gouvernant le champ de la raison theorique on peut alors opposer un modele jurisprudentiel, specifique de celui de la raison pratique. Si cette opposition inaugure un nouveau dualisme, ce n'est qu'au sens methodologique : la << regle de justice >> qui prevautdans le champ argumentatif concerne les premisses du raisonnement normatif, non sa forme deductive qui, comme telle, releve de la logique. Il s'agit donc de faire valoir une exigence supplementaire de normativite, dont temoigne exemplairement le debat de perelman avec la logique deontique de kalinowski. Telle est la tache du philosophe, dont le discours s'adresse a l' << auditoire universel >>.

Abstract:
O interesse da Medicina Veterinária nas espécies silvestres tem aumentado gradativamente, principalmente no estudo dos contextos ecológicos de saúde. Dentro desse contexto, autores realizaram estudos com o objetivo de conhecer a importância de Salmonella sp. na saúde das aves silvestres e seu potencial de transmissão para humanos e outros animais. Informações sobre a prevalência e distribuição dos sorovares de salmonelas na população de animais silvestres e domésticos são essenciais para relacionar os possíveis reservatórios que possam ser responsáveis pela transmissão dessa zoonose. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a detecção de Salmonella sp. em psitacídeos clinicamente sadios por Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR). Foram coletados suabes cloacais de 280 psitacídeos mantidos em cativeiro no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, pertencentes a treze espécies, provenientes de um zoológico, um criadouro conservacionista e um criadouro comercial. O DNA das amostras foi extraído pelo método de fenol-clorofórmio e examinados pela PCR com a utilização de um par de iniciadores que amplifica um fragmento de 284 pb do gene invA pertencente ao gênero Salmonella, resultando em 37 amostras positivas. Não houve diferença na prevalência de salmonela entre os três plantéis nem entre as 13 espécies analizadas. Não foi possível a detecção desse patógeno pela PCR com iniciadores para a identificação de S. Typhimurium, S. Enteritidis, S. Pullorum e S. Gallinarum, nem através da Técnica Microbiológica Convencional nas amostras detectadas pela PCR genérica, provavelmente devido a maior sensibilidade e especificidade da PCR genérica. De acordo com a revisão bibliográfica realizada, este foi o primeiro trabalho de detecção direta de Salmonella em psitacídeos utilizando a PCR. Os resultados indicaram que aproximadamente 13,2% dos psitacídeos mantidos em cativeiro eram portadores assintomáticos ou eram transientemente infectados pelo gênero Salmonella.

Abstract:
This thesis argues that art criticism published during Soutine's lifetime emphasizes ethnicity, nationalism and geography in discussions of the artist's style. These critical discussions have influenced the historiography of Soutine published after his death, resulting in a continued emphasis on style that includes references to ethnicity. Ethnicity, nationalism and geography are identified in the critical reception and historiography by noting references, both specific and implied, to Jewishness, French art, and foreign status (among others). These references are analyzed in terms of existing scholarship that addresses concepts of ethnicity and nationalism, and with consideration to how the critical reception has impacted the historiography.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis offers new perspectives on the Yiddish poet and novelist Chaim Grade, examining his reflections on the world of historic Lithuanian Jewry from the outset of his career through his post-Holocaust novels. Chapter one explores the gap between the historical reality of interwar Vilna and its literary representation in his novel Di agune and questions the widely accepted view of this work as a credible historical source.
Chapter two deals with Grade's depiction of his experience as a student in a Novaredok Musar yeshiva, contrasting the depiction of this yeshiva in the poem Musernikes (1938) and the novel Tsemakh atlas (1967). The writer's shift from a fierce condemnation of the Novaredok Yeshiva to a more moderate and affectionate view as a post-Holocaust writer is explained as the older Grade's attempt to reconcile his art and identity as a modern Jew with the religious world he had forsaken.

The present study purposes to discuss the lawfully of the jurisdictional activity, based on the work of Chaïm Perelman, called “Juridical Logic”, observing the research line ‘Hermeneutic, Justice and Constitutional State’. The approach of this study is related to judicial decisions of real cases, and not about the constitutionality control. The first chapter presents the elements of the traditional model: the State of Law, the Balance of Powers, the Democracy and the Positivism. In the second, these elements are questioned and faced to present situation. This procedure aims to adequate them (the elements) to the reality. The third chapter is about the problem of positive law. It is related to the gaps, antinomies and to the mistakenly of the juridical terms, as well the possibility of undoubtedly unfair decisions. The fourth examines the philosophical hermeneutics and their deeply unfolds on the juridical phenomenon. The fifth analyses the dialectical concept of Science, initially presented by Aristóteles and developed by Perelman. Finally, the sixth chapter presents two examples: one of civil law and one of penal law. It results from the modern construction of the law and aims to show that the jurisdictional activity – based on principles, rules and values of the juridical arrangement and, since the fundamental rights and the dialectical lawsuit in the inquiry of consensus are assured – finds democratic grip.
O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a legitimidade da atividade jurisdicional, a partir da obra “Lógica Jurídica” de Chaïm Perelman, observando a linha de pesquisa ‘Hermenêutica, Justiça e Estado Constitucional’. A abordagem está relacionada às decisões judiciais sobre casos concretos, não ao controle de constitucionalidade em abstrato. No primeiro capítulo são apresentados os elementos do chamado Modelo Tradicional, especificamente o Estado de Direito, a separação de poderes, a democracia e o positivismo. No segundo, esses elementos são submetidos a questionamento e colocados em confronto com a realidade atual, visando adequá-los a esta mesma realidade. O terceiro capítulo trata dos problemas do Direito positivo, relacionados às lacunas, às antinomias e à equivocidade dos termos jurídicos, bem como à possibilidade de decisões indiscutivelmente injustas. No quarto é examinada a hermenêutica filosófica e seus profundos desdobramentos no fenômeno jurídico. No quinto é analisado o conceito dialético de ciência, inicialmente apresentado por Aristóteles e desenvolvido por Perelman. Finalmente, o sexto capítulo apresenta dois exemplos – um de Direito Penal, outro de Direito Civil – resultados da construção moderna do Direito, com a finalidade de demonstrar que a atividade judicial baseada em regras, princípios e valores do ordenamento, e desde que assegurados os direitos fundamentais e a dialética processual na busca de consensos, encontra respaldo democrático.

Resumo: Este trabalho aborda os vínculos que a música contemporânea mantém com a retórica, dispositivo essencial para a compreensão da música antiga, mas que tem sido deixado de lado na análise de objetos mais recentes. Desse modo, para que a discussão seja coerente a atual realidade, media o estudo o Tratado da Argumentação, escrito por Chaïm Perelman e Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca, obra fundante que reabilitou os estudos da retórica no século XX por atualizá-la ao pensamento moderno. A partir desse referencial serão discutidas as dimensões em que a retórica integra o discurso musical atual, mais especificamente na análise de peças de Luciano Berio e Giacinto Scelsi
Abstract: This thesis discusses about the relationship between contemporary music and rhetoric, essential device for understanding ancient music, but that has been underrated in the analysis of more recent objects. To update the rhetoric to the current thought this study it is referenced by the Treatise on Argumentation, written by Chaim Perelman and Lucie Olbrechts-Tyteca, since it has rehabilitated studies of rhetoric in the twentieth century. From this framework it is explored the dimensions in which rhetoric integrates the current musical discourse, specifically trough the analysis of pieces written by Luciano Berio and Giacinto Scelsi

Abstract:
Este estudo situa-se no campo da investigação da História Educacional, particularmente a que se dedica as relações entre etnia/religião e minorias nacionais. O objeto de análise centra-se na trajetória do Ginásio Israelita Brasileiro Chaim Nachman Bialik. O ponto de partida desta reflexão concentra-se no período de sua fundação, no bairro de Pinheiros, na cidade de São Paulo, em 1943, junto à sinagoga Beth Jacob até o ano 1955, momento de sua oficialização frente às autoridades educacionais brasileiras. Esta instituição foi fruto do esforço de um grupo de imigrantes da Europa Oriental e de ascendência judaica, tendo por objetivo proporcionar à comunidade uma opção consciente de educação com os valores, tradição e ética judaicos. A partir dessas colocações, é importante sublinhar que a comunidade judaica brasileira na verdade é plural, sendo provenientes de fluxos migratórios da primeira metade do século XX. E no momento de sua chegada eram considerados desenraizados, pois em seus países de origem eram qualificados como apátridas e aqui, como refugiados. Para desenvolver este estudo utilizou-se documentos do arquivo escolar, como também a coleta de depoimentos contemporâneos utilizando a metodologia da História Oral. Com base nessas fontes, foi necessário desvendar os indícios e/ou traços que permitiram visualizar a multiplicidade da trajetória deste grupo. O ponto de investigação gira em torno da relação escola/sinagoga que marcou a fundação da instituição. Torna-se oportuno, portanto, vincular o percurso institucional e o processo histórico educacional e político do país. Assim, há a preocupação nesta reflexão de perceber o alinhamento do sistema educacional com as formas de pensar e agir de parte da comunidade judaica européia em uma outra terra. Como também, compreender os agentes envolvidos no processo de formação e desenvolvimento econômico e social de parcela da comunidade no Brasil, promovendo o seu enraizamento. A escola Bialik no seu processo de constituição, analisado neste estudo, promove a visualização dos caminhos percorridos para a construção do sentimento de pertencimento a um grupo afetivo determinado, gerando assim, a elaboração de identidades multifacetadas.
This study is situated in Educational History field, specifically in that area which is dedicated to ethnic/religious relations and national minorities. The objective of the analysis is centered around the trajectory of the Ginásio Israelita Brasileiro Chaim Nachman Bialik. The starting point of this study concentrates on the the period of the schools foundation, in the district of Pinheiros, in the city of Sãon Paulo, in 1943, along with the Beth Jacob sinagogue during the years that end with 1955, the time when the school became oficially recognized by the Brazilian educational authorities. This educational institution was the result of the efforts of a group of immigrants from Western Europe who were of Jewish descent, whose objective was to provide the community with a conscious educational option based on Jewish values, traditions and ethnicity. Based on these premises, it is important to underline the fact that the Brazilian Jewish community is in truth plural, resulting from the migratory fluxuations of the first half of the 20th century. Ast the moment of their arrival in Brazil they were considered a people without roots, as their countries of origin were classified as without a country and in Brazil they were seen as refugees. In the development of this study, documents of the school archives were researched, as well as a collection of contemporary interviews utilizing the Oral History method. Based on these sources, it was necessary unveil the indications and the aspects that allow the groups multiple trajectory to be examined. The investigative point turns around the school/sinagogue relationship that marks the foundation of the institution. Therefore, it becomess important to trace the institutional path and the historical educational and political of the country. Thus, there is a concern in this study in perceiving the alignment of the educational system with the thought and action forms of the European Jewish community within a different nation. Also, to understand the agents involved in the social and economic development and formation process of this community in Brazil that led to the creation of established roots. The Bialik School during its constitutional process, analysized in this study, promotes a visualization of the path followed for the construction of the feeling of belonging within a a determined group, thus generating the elaboration of multifaceted identities.

Abstract:
Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the United States in August of 2005. While an emerging literature base details the consequences and lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina, a critical missing piece for understanding Hurricane Katrina American landfall is a rhetorical perspective. I argue a rhetorical perspective can significantly contribute to a better understanding of Hurricane Katrina’s implications for creating policy, community and identity. As a case study, I employ Kenneth Burke’s cluster analysis to examine the use of the label “Third World” to describe New Orleans, the Gulf Coast and the United States in the mass media coverage of Hurricane Katrina.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar a legitimidade da atividade jurisdicional, a partir da obra L?gica Jur?dica de Cha?m Perelman, observando a linha de pesquisa Hermen?utica, Justi?a e Estado Constitucional. A abordagem est? relacionada ?s decis?es judiciais sobre casos concretos, n?o ao controle de constitucionalidade em abstrato. No primeiro cap?tulo s?o apresentados os elementos do chamado Modelo Tradicional, especificamente o Estado de Direito, a separa??o de poderes, a democracia e o positivismo. No segundo, esses elementos s?o submetidos a questionamento e colocados em confronto com a realidade atual, visando adequ?-los a esta mesma realidade. O terceiro cap?tulo trata dos problemas do Direito positivo, relacionados ?s lacunas, ?s antinomias e ? equivocidade dos termos jur?dicos, bem como ? possibilidade de decis?es indiscutivelmente injustas. No quarto ? examinada a hermen?utica filos?fica e seus profundos desdobramentos no fen?meno jur?dico. No quinto ? analisado o conceito dial?tico de ci?ncia, inicialmente apresentado por Arist?teles e desenvolvido por Perelman. Finalmente, o sexto cap?tulo apresenta dois exemplos um de Direito Penal, outro de Direito Civil resultados da constru??o moderna do Direito, com a finalidade de demonstrar que a atividade judicial baseada em regras, princ?pios e valores do ordenamento, e desde que assegurados os direitos fundamentais e a dial?tica processual na busca de consensos, encontra respaldo democr?tico.

Abstract:
Le travail des peintres qui ont vécu à Paris au début du XXme siècle a souvent consisté en une négation de la représentation qui n’était pas sans rapport avec la négation de l’objet-tableau lui-même : Chaïm Soutine adopte une profonde radicalité dans cette démarche artistique. L’objet de notre étude, suivant son travail, n’est pas la peinture, mais l’action de peindre, de « peindre la chair », pour redéfinir par là même la peinture comme praxis, et penser, à son tour, la philosophie comme pratique qui doit créer son propre faire. En effet, la négation du paradigme de la représentation en peinture nous a conduit à étendre une réflexion jusqu’aux dynamiques expressives de l’art actuel et surtout aux fondements de la pratique philosophique considérée dans l’essence de son mouvement expressif. À ce propos, le thème de la chair illustre à la perfection, en peinture et en philosophie, un dualisme dont notre travail a voulu être le dépassement. Un dualisme critique se polarisant autour de l’opposition entre l’image comme copie-reproduction ou comme autoréférentielle. L’approche ontologique de l’image et du sensible, retracée suivant la pensée de Merleau-Ponty, définit la chair comme prégnance, c’est-à-dire comme un être en différenciation avec lui-même, qu’on ne peut saisir que par un renouvellement de la pensée suivant les mêmes différenciations avec elle-même. Notre analyse de la peinture de Chaïm Soutine conduit à repenser le phénomène esthétique, et, au-delà, à repenser l’être de tout phénomène et de tout apparaître, sans les faire référer aux formules oppositives et aux formes de pensée issues de l’héritage idéaliste de la philosophie et de l’esthétique
The work of painters who lived in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century mainly consisted in a negation of representation which was not unrelated to the negation of the object-painting itself: Chaïm Soutine brings a deep radical change to this artistic approach. The purpose of our study, according to Soutine’s work, is not its painting, but the action of painting, of "painting the flesh," in order to redefine thereby painting as praxis, and, in turn, philosophy as a practice which must create its own making. Indeed, the denial of the paradigm of representation in painting led us to extend our work to the expressive dynamic reflection of contemporary art and especially to the foundations of philosophical practice considered in the essence of his expressive movement. In this regard, the theme of ‘Flesh’ is a perfect illustration, within painting and philosophy, of a dualism. Our work ambition is to go beyond this dualism. A critical dualism which polarises itself around the opposition between the image as a print-copy/ reproduction and the image as a self –referential. The ontological approach to the 'image' and the 'sensible', drawn by Merleau-Ponty's thought, defines the flesh as pregnancy, that is to say as a Being differentiating of itself which we can only apprehend by renewing our thought following the same differentiation of itself. Our analysis of Chaïm Soutine’s painting lead us to rethink the phenomenon of aesthetics, and, beyond that, to rethink the Being of every phenomena and every appearance without making reference to oppositional forms and ways of thinking from the idealist legacy of philosophy and aesthetics

Abstract:
A key derivation function (KDF) is a function that transforms secret non-uniformly random source material together with some public strings into one or more cryptographic keys. These cryptographic keys are used with a cryptographic algorithm for protecting electronic data during both transmission over insecure channels and storage. In this thesis, we propose a new method for constructing a generic stream cipher based key derivation function. We show that our proposed key derivation function based on stream ciphers is secure if the under-lying stream cipher is secure. We simulate instances of this stream cipher based key derivation function using three eStream nalist: Trivium, Sosemanuk and Rabbit. The simulation results show these stream cipher based key derivation functions offer efficiency advantages over the more commonly used key derivation functions based on block ciphers and hash functions.

Abstract:
Managers in organizations make investment decisions all the time. These decisions have an impact on the bottom-line profits and on the market penetration of the organization. Some decisions have more impact than others do and not all such decisions are evaluated for their impact. The Service-Profit Chain (SPC) framework brings together several components like operational attributes, customer perceptions, customer behavioral intentions and customer loyalty to evaluate the service operation. This research augments the SPC with another component â uncontrollable factors (environmental variables and competition) that are exogenous to the operation but definitely have an effect on the service delivery process. Further, this research develops a dynamic model to evaluate investments made in operational attributes (e.g. number of tellers in a bank, number of airline flight options to a particular city available to customers) and determine the behavior of customer perceptions, customer intentions, customer loyalty, profit, market penetration and marginal rate of return over time. The above is accomplished by incorporating a hill-climbing algorithm into the dynamic SPC model. This hill-climbing algorithm senses the current state of the system and compares it to a certain goal to determine the discrepancies and make additional interventions. The objective is to determine an optimal path to steady state and to evaluate if certain goals are realistic. Next, the Service Sustainability Chain is developed to be applicable to training services. This is accomplished by building key relationships specific to training services into separate modules. The Dynamic SPC module is based on the SPC framework. The Customer Base Growth module captures the structure for referrals and how this enables the growth of the customer base mimicking the infectious model for epidemic diseases in the literature. A methodology based on Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) developed to explore, uncover and identify relationships and mathematical equations is used to determine the structural input-output representation of the SPC. Next, the model and the methodology developed are applied to a case study in a training services organization, simulated and validated.

Abstract:
L’introduzione di co- e ter-monomeri nella catena di polietilene, ottenuta con catalizzatori Ziegler-Natta permette di modularne le proprietà fisiche e chimiche come la temperatura di transizione vetrosa (Tg) e di incrementare le proprietà meccaniche e termiche del materiale. In particolare, i copolimeri etilene-norbornene (E-N) ottenuti per sintesi metallocenica hanno alta resistenza termica, elevata resistenza all’azione di solventi, elevate proprietà barriera ai gas e alta trasparenza ottica (I. Tritto, L. Boggioni, D.R. Ferro, Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 250, 212-241, (2006)). Copolimeri ad alto contenuto di norbornene mantengono queste ottime caratteristiche ma sviluppano una componente fragile. Per sopperire a questo svantaggio, si è deciso di esplorare una nuova strategia di sintesi, introdotta nel 2006 dalla Dow Chemical Company (D.J. Arriola, E.M. Carnahan, P.D. Hustad, R.L. Kuhlman, T.T. Wenzel, Science, 312, 714 (2006)), chiamata “Chain Shuttling polymerization” (CSP). CSP permette di ottenere copolimeri con microstruttura multiblocco in cui differenti microstrutture sono legate insieme in una sequenza alternata all’interno della stessa catena polimerica. Il sistema catalitico della CSP è composto da tre componenti fondamentali: due catalizzatori con differente affinità alle unità monomeriche e un trasferitore di catena (CTA) che scambia le catene crescenti da un centro catalitico ad un altro. A questo proposito abbiamo selezionato: i) un catalizzatore con alta affinità al norbornene, ii) un catalizzatore con bassa incorporazione di norbornene, iii) dietilzinco come agente di chain shuttling (CSA) e studiato due diversi sistemi catalitici: i) due zirconoceni con differenti leganti, per valutare l'influenza del legante sulle proprietà finali del polimero; ii) due metalloceni con diverso metallo centrale e gli stessi leganti. L'attivazione del catalizzatore è stata effettuata con dimetilanilinio tetrakis(pentafluorofenil)borato per entrambi i sistemi (M. Bochmann, Organometallics, 29, 4711-4770 (2010)). Tutte le sintesi sono state eseguite in autoclave ad alta pressione (4-19 bar) a diversi rapporti molari N/E pari a 1.3,4.8 e 26.0. Tutti i copolimeri E-N sono stati caratterizzati con 1H e 13C NMR, cromatografia di esclusione (GPC) e analisi termica DSC. Un primo screening è stato effettuato per identificare le migliori condizioni di copolimerizzazione per mantenere la conversione di N inferiore al 15%. Successivamente sono state eseguite sintesi di copolimeri E-N con un singolo metallocene in presenza di dietilzinco a tre diverse concentrazioni di Zn in soluzione per valutare effetto del CSA sulle proprietà finali dei copolimeri. Infine, è stata sintetizzata una serie di copolimeri E-N via CSP con entrambi i sistemi catalitici in presenza di dietilzinco. L'analisi termica dei copolimeri E-N ottenuti tramite CS ha mostrato per tutti i copolimeri un unico evento Tg con valori intermedi tra quelli dei copolimeri ottenuti senza CSA. Inoltre le Tg non sono influenzate dalla concentrazione di Zn in soluzione. Viceversa, i pesi molecolari dei copolimeri E-N ottenuti tramite CS diminuiscono all’aumentare della concentrazione di dietilzinco in soluzione per tutti i catalizzatori selezionati. Sono state ottenute strette distribuzioni dei pesi molecolari (PDI=1,9 – 2,2) mentre i prodotti delle reazioni di terminazione sono presenti in quantità trascurabile. Queste caratteristiche ci permettono di concludere che la polimerizzazione procede tramite il meccanismo CS ed è quindi possibile ottenere copolimeri E-N con struttura multiblocco.

The wide range of the petroleum industry's products as well as the varied value of these products coupled with the global nature of the petroleum industry presents both challenges and opportunities within the petroleum supply chain. It is along this supply chain that challenges for creating value for the customer exist as well the opportunities for reaching this goal. Value chain analysis methodology has been hailed as being capable to lend itself to process improvement challenges faced along supply chains. To achieve this objective, a case study method was used to collect and analyse data. This dissertation identifies and follows one of the supply chains of a petroleum company operating in South Africa to investigate how value chain analysis can be implemented along its supply chain.

Gorce, Jean-Philippe. "Crystallisation and chain conformation of long chain n-alkanes." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2000. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/19705/.

Full text
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon chains are a basic component in a number of systems as diverse as biological membranes, phospholipids and polymers. A better understanding of the physical properties of n-alkane chains should provide a better understanding of these more complex systems. With this aim, vibrational spectroscopy has been extensively used. This technique, sensitive to molecular details, is the only one able to both identify and quantify conformational disorder present in paraffinic systems. To achieve this, methyl deformations have been widely used as "internal standards" for the normalisation of peak areas. However, in the case of n-alkanes with short chain length, such as n-C[44]H[90] for example, the infrared spectra recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature and reported here show the sensitivity of these latter peaks to the various crystal structures formed. Indeed, the main frequencies of the symmetric methyl bending mode were found between 1384 cm[-1] and 1368 cm[-1] as a function of the crystal form. Changes in the frequency of the first order of the L.A.M. present in the Raman spectra were also observed. At higher temperatures, non all-trans conformers, inferred from different infrared bands present in the wagging mode region, were found to be essentially placed at the end of the n-alkane chains. At the monoclinic phase transition, the concentration of end-gauche conformers, proportional to the area of the infrared band at 1342 cm[-1], increases abruptly. On the contrary, in the spectra recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature no such band is observed. We also studied the degree of disorder in two purely monodisperse long chain n-alkanes, namely n-C[198]H[398] and n-C[246]H[494]. The chain conformation as well as the tilt angle of the chains from the crystal surfaces were determined by means of low frequency Raman spectroscopy and S.A.X.S. measurements on solution-crystallised samples. The increase in the number of end-gauche conformers which was expected to occur with the increase of the tilt angle as a function of the temperature was not detected due to a perfecting of the crystals. Indeed, due to successive heating and cooling to -173°C, the concentration of non all-trans conformers was found to decrease within the crystals. Their numbers were found to be up to six times higher in n-C[198]H[398] crystallised in once folded form than when crystallised in extended form. The C-C stretching mode region of the spectra was used to identify the chain conformation and to estimate the length of the all-trans stem passing through the crystal layers at -173°C. The transition between once folded and extended form crystals was indicated by the presence of additional bands in this region at 1089 cm[-1], 1078 cm[-1] and 1064 cm[-1]. Some of those bands may be related to the fold itself. At the same time, a strong decrease of the intensity of the infrared bands present in the wagging mode region was observed. Finally, the triple layered structure proposed on the basis of X-ray measurements obtained from the crystals of a binary mixture of long chain n-alkanes, namely n-C[162]H[326] and n-C[246]H[494], was confirmed from the study of the C-C stretching mode region of the infrared spectra.

Abstract:
The last years have witnessed an ever increasing interest in the field of molecular electronics, in which molecules connected with two or more electrodes are used as main building blocks to fabricate the components of integrated circuits. The achievement of high performance interconnects is one of the key step for the realization of such devices. In this context, conjugated carbon wires are the most promising candidates to this role due to their structural stability and their experimental feasibility. In particular we investigated the transport properties of systems where a freestanding conjugated carbon chain is contacted with two electrodes in order achieve a two-terminal device. Although some important issues had already been investigated in this field when starting this project, information were very scattered and a well-rounded perspective of the key aspects affecting the electron transport was missing. This thesis represents one attempt to fill this gap first in the case of Ag-chain-Ag systems and then for graphene-chain-graphene devices. Specifically we focused on the role that the chain-electrode junction plays in determining the characteristics of such systems, finding that the contact geometry strongly affect the transport properties. In fact, for Ag-chain-Ag systems, qualitative different transport properties have been found depending on the adsorption site on the silver surface, while results showed only a weak dependence on the chain length. Moreover we observed that those results can be extended to "tip-like" contacts, mimicking a more realistic electrodic surface. As opposite, linking atoms such as sulfur or silicon strongly influence the conductance. We further demonstrated that the vibrational motion of the atoms has negligible effects on the transport properties for a very large range of temperature. Finally we also critically assessed the reliability of our results using the optical properties of the gas-phase molecules to benchmark the adopted setup. The results obtained for graphene-chain-graphene devices confirmed that the junction plays a central role in determining the strength of the electrode-chain coupling, and in turn, the conductance. We first analyzed in details the transport properties of single chains connected to ideal electrodes, investigating their geometrical and electronic structure in order to establish a connection with their transport properties. Furthermore, at odds with the above mentioned metal-C-metal systems, we found that "tip-like" junctions here have dramatic effects on the transport properties. More importantly, we investigated the possibility to observe quantum interference, chemical gating and conductance switching behaviors in such systems.

Abstract:
Microtubule (Mt)-associated proteins (MAPs) have been shown to play a role in Mt stability in axons and dendrites, in determining neuronal shape and in regulating the balance between rigidity and plasticity in neuronal processes. MAP1A is the most abundant MAP in adult brains, and in neurons is localized in axons and dendrites. MAP1A is represented by a protein complex of one heavy chain (HC) and three light chains (LC1, LC2, LC3). Understanding MAP1A-Mt-LC interactions may give insight into the neuronal cytoskeleton, which is often involved in neuronal diseases. To determine which area of the MAP1A HC is essential in Mt binding, parts of the MAP1A HC were expressed in HeLa cells. Through fluorescence microscopy, we determined that MAP1A colocalized with Mts, but did not alter the Mt network. Also, an in vitro binding assay, where MAP1A HC fragments were added to taxol stabilized Mts, determined that the N-terminus of MAP1A is involved in Mt binding. To determine the effect of the LCs on Mts, they were also expressed in HeLa cells. By the same in vivo and in vitro experiments, all three LCs were shown to bind Mts. LC1 and LC2 also conferred to Mts a wavy distribution, especially in the perinuclear region and increased Mt stability as shown by increased resistance to nocodazole. However, Mts in cells transfected with LC3 were not altered and showed no increased Mt stability. Whenever both MAP1A HC and LC2 were expressed in HeLa cells, the altering effect of LC2 was reduced, suggesting that the MAP1A HC might regulate LC2 activities.

Abstract:
Today’s dynamic and increasingly competitive market had expanded complexities for global businesses pressuring companies to start leveraging on Big Data solutions in order to sustain the global competitions by becoming more data-driven in managing their supply chains.The main purpose of this study is twofold, 1) to explore the implications of applying analytics designing supply chain networks, 2) to investigate the link between operational and strategic management levels when making strategic decisions using Analytics.Qualitative methods have been applied for this study to gain a greater understanding of the Supply Chain Analytics phenomenon. An inductive approach in form of interviews, was performed in order to gain new empirical data. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional individuals who hold managerial roles such as project managers, consultants, and end-users within the fields of Supply Chain Management and Big Data Analytics. The received empirical information was later analyzed using the thematic analysis method.The main findings in this thesis relatively contradicts with previous studies and existing literature in terms of connotations, definitions and applications of the three main types of Analytics. Furthermore, the findings present new approaches and perspectives that advanced analytics apply on both strategic and operational management levels that are shaping supply chain network designs.

The aim of this project is to develop an auxiliary office chair, which favorably will compete with

the existing chairs on the market. Evolutions of ergonomical survey in the work environment and

on the configuration of offices require new products which fulfill the requirements properly.

In order to achieve it a survey about office chairs has been carried out: types, characteristics, ways

of usage and products on the market besides a large antropometrical study and ergonomics related

to work area study.

The result is an auxillary office chair which improves significatively in ergonomics compared with

such chairs found in the market survey.

Moreover it is achieved a great improvement refering to apilability stackable characteristics and

manufacturing, as this chair has good features as easily cleanning and innovative aesthetics and no

high manufacturing cost. That means an easily marketed product.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the influence of horizontal competition on supply chain performance. Unlike most of the existing literature which focuses on horizontal competition between echelon levels, we look at both the supply chain and the individual company??s performance with the presence of supply chain to supply chain competition. Specifically, this thesis is composed of three individual research papers. The first paper deals with chain-to-chain horizontal competition and considers price competition among an arbitrary number of supply chains by comparing two cases. In the first case each supply chain is vertically integrated, while in the second, decentralised, case the manufacturers and retailers act independently. We explore the effect of varying the level of price competition on the profitts of the industry participants and demonstrate the important role played by the spread of underlying market shares. The coefficient of variation of these market shares determines whether decentralised supply chains can outperform integrated supply chains with an appropriate level of competition. The second and third papers focus on in-chain horizontal competition with capacity constraints. In the second paper, we look at a supply chain with one manufacturer and two downstream retailers. Based on total capacity available, the manufacturer needs to find ways to best use the capacity by determining whether or not to release the capacity information to retailers. The third paper looks at competition in a more complicated supply chain structure. A retailer buys three brands of products from two manufacturers. One manufacturer produces both branded and private label products, and the other one manufactures a branded product only. With our model, we are able to determine the profits of each supply chain agent. At the end of the paper, we use data from the Australian milk industry and discuss a problem in which a manufacturer needs to decide how to allocate capacity between the national brand and the private label when there is a capacity shortage.

Abstract:
Integration of operation management goals with the mission of organization requiresadoption of measures capable of pulsing mission accomplishment situation whileoperations are going on. Supply chain, as an increasingly used concept in operationsmanagement, could be supported by the concepts of customer satisfaction and profitmargin to get integrated with main goals of any for-profit organization. Value chain viewprovides such insight and lets the mission of the organization remain in focus while lowerleveldecisions and functional processes are dealt with.Every activity in a value chain could be cost driver and / or value driver. Configuration ofthese cost and value drivers refers to their locational and relational position. Afteragreement on what are going to be core values for the organization, relative positions ofvalue chain activities should be consciously reviewed periodically to identify opportunitiesfor contributing to core values of organization through repositioning or redesigning andstrengthening value activities. The term value chain reconfiguration implies to suchstrategic revision decisions.Opportunities – and threats – for improving performance of the organization not only liewithin internal chain of value activities of the organization, but also could be found out ofthe organization boundaries and among its extended value chain. Acquiring of externalgains needs sound analysis and cost and benefit evaluations for making decision regardingthe way of reacting to the identified opportunities. Virtual value chain orchestration asproposed by its introducer provides a framework for identifying and capturing suchopportunities.Gauging the results of reconfiguration of the value chain, calls for implementingmeaningful criterion so that it reflects captured value in accordance with the destined goal.Taking profit margin of the value chain as master value for organization, the thesis workproposes usage of a less-known profitability indicator, economic value added (EVA) as themeasure which should be focused on in order to evaluate success or failure of firm-levelvalue chain reconfiguration efforts.

Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2003.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 121-123).
The strong bargaining power of major retailers and the higher requirements for speed, service excellence and customization have significantly contributed to transform the Supply Chain Management. These increasing challenges call for an integrated and dynamic Supply Chain Management and for a better integration and alignment with key customers, in order to reduce the firm's time-to-market and build competitive advantage. The thesis aims at providing the partner company, a major player in the consumer goods industry, with a more robust and efficient vendor managed inventory practice, so that the partner can determine the optimum inventory level to satisfy turnover, service level and lead time requirements, whereas minimizing lost sales and total costs in the system. The team developed a Supply Chain Dynamics framework to help the partner to establish new service level strategies, strongly oriented to the strategic importance of its products and customers, and to map the key system-wide drivers that impact the overall number of inventory turns, service level and total costs. Additionally, in order to run simulations and estimate the outcomes of the proposed recommendations, the team developed a "Multi-Echelon" simulator and used a commercial "Supply Chain Dynamics" simulator.

Abstract:
This play is a comedy which revolves around the importance of a French Chair (Louis Xiii) in the life of a family. A young newlywed woman discovers that her husband has a "secret" half sister born out of wedlock. Her mother-in-law has had an affair with a French man, but her husband always believed she had been abused. The young lady senses something is not clear and decides to look for her "half" sister-in-law. She does and manages to organize a get-together to bring everyone in the same place and finally understand what really happened. Eventually, her mother-in-law, now a widower, falls in love again with her ex-lover and they decide to marry. The French Chair was a reason of fights in the young couple and with the mother-in-law. But at the end we learn that young lady's half sister-in-law was conceived on this chair.
