Full textAbstract:
J'ai analyse d'un point de vue marxiste l'evolution de la societe libanaise depuis l'epoque mercantiliste jusqu'a nos jours. J'ai souscrit a une approche neo-marxiste qui m'a permis a la fois de tracer le developpement du capitalisme occidental et les effets de la penetration de ce capital sur la societe libanaise et de comprendre les causes fondamentales de la domination et la persistance des survivances precapitalistes dans cette societe. J'ai mis l'accent sur le capitalisme concurrentiel et puis sur l'imperialisme et ses effets sur la communaute druse libanaise. Pendant la phase du capitalisme concurrentiel, caracterisee au liban par la production de la soie, le mode capitaliste dominant s'etait articule avec le mode feodal chez les druses. Pendant la phase imperialiste, caracterisee au liban par la domination du capital financier-commercial, le mode feodal s'etait ebranle et le capitalisme s'etait articule avec des survivances precapitalistes. J'ai montre que les survivances precapitalistes qu'elles soient economiques, politiques ou ideologiques, correspondent a un sousdeveloppement de la region druse. Ce fait implique domination et exploitation du capital. En outre, j'ai discerne les effets destructeurs du capitalisme sur les rapports entre les confessions libanaises. C'etait la bourgeoisie chretienne qui a tire profit de la penetration du capitalisme aux depens des druses et des autres confessions. La tension entre les confessions et la persistance des survivances precapitalistes ont entraine des luttes a caractere religieux; la lutte de classe s'etait estompe au profit des guerres religieuses. Ces phenomenes etaient conditionnes par l'incapacite du capitalisme libanais de revolutionner les rapports sociaux dans la campagne. En effet, la raison d'etre du liban s'etait trouve dans son role economique tributaire du capital occidental et de ce fait decoule sa precarite et l'influence sans cesse des groupements claniques de ses communautes religieuses<br>I have adopted a neo-marxist approach which allowed me to trace the development of western capitalism since the mercantilist period until our present days and helped me to analyse the effects of the penetration of this capitalism on the lebanese society. This approach also permitted me to understand the causes behind the domination and the persistence of the pre-capitalist survivals in the lebanese society. I have stressed the effects of competitive capitalism and of imperialism on the druse community. During the period of competitive capitalism, characterized in lebanon by the production of silk, the dominant capitalist mode of production was articulated with the druse feudal mode of production. During imperialism, characterized in lebanon by the domination of the financial-commercial capital, the feudal mode of production disintegrated leaving behind it pre-capitalist survivals which were articulated with the capitalist mode. I have showed that the pre-capitalist survivals, whether they are political, ideological or economical, correspond to a stat of underdevelopment in the druse's region. This fact entails capitalist domination and exploitation. Furthermore, i revealled the destructive effects of the penetration of capitalism on the relationship between the lebanese sects. In fact, the christian bourgeoisie profited from this penetration at the expense of the druses and the other lebanese sects. The tension between the sects and the persistence of the pre-capitalist survivals produced religious struggles. The struggle of classes gave way to religious wars. These facts were the consequences of the inability of lebanese capitalism to revolutionise the social relationships in the rural areas. In fact, lebanon as an economic entity was always tributary to western capitalism; its precarious social order and the influence of its religio

Full textAbstract:
One of the important early applications of Quantum Mechanics was to explain the Van-der-Waal’s 1/R6 potential that is observed experimentally between two neutral species, such as noble gas atoms, in terms of correlated uncertainty between interacting dipoles, an effect that does not occur in the classical limit [London-Eisenschitz,1930]. When many-body correlations and higher-multipole interactions are taken into account they yield additional many-body and higher-multipole dispersion terms. Dispersion energies are closely related to electrostatic interactions and polarisation [Hirschfelder-Curtiss-Bird,1954]. Hydrogen bonding, the dominant force in water, is an example of an electrostatic effect, which is also strongly modified by polarisation effects. The behaviour of ions is also strongly influenced by polarisation. Where hydrogen bonding is disrupted, dispersion tends to act as a more constant cohesive force. It is the only attractive force that exists between hydrophobes, for example. Thus all three are important for understanding the detailed behaviour of water, and effects that happen in water, such as the solvation of ions, hydrophobic de-wetting, and thus biological nano-structures. Current molecular simulation methods rarely go beyond pair-wise potentials, and so lose the rich detail of many-body polarisation and dispersion that would permit a force field to be transferable between different environments. Empirical force-fields fitted in the gas phase, which is dominated by two-body interactions, generally do not perform well in the condensed (many-body) phases. The leading omitted dispersion term is the Axilrod-Teller-Muto 3-body potential, which does not feature in standard biophysical force-fields. Polarization is also usually ommitted, but it is sometimes included in next-generation force-fields following seminal work by Cochran [1971]. In practice, many-body forces are approximated using two-body potentials fitted to reflect bulk behaviour, but these are not transferable because they do not reproduce detailed behaviour well, resulting in spurious results near inhomogeneities, such as solvated hydrophobes and ions, surfaces and interfaces. The Quantum Drude Oscillator model (QDO) unifies many-body, multipole polarisation and dispersion, intrinsically treating them on an equal footing, potentially leading to simpler, more accurate, and more transferable force fields when it is applied in molecular simulations. The Drude Oscillator is simply a model atom wherein a single pseudoelectron is bound harmonically to a single pseudonucleus, that interacts via damped coulomb interactions [Drude,1900]. Path Integral [Feynman-Hibbs,1965] Molecular Dynamics (PIMD) can, in principle, provide an exact treatment for moving molecules at finite temperature on the Born- Oppenheimer surface due to their pseudo-electrons. PIMD can be applied to large systems, as it scales like N log(N), with multiplicative prefactor P that can be effectively parallelized away on modern supercomputers. There are other ways to treat dispersion, but all are computationally intensive and cannot be applied to large systems. These include, for example, Density Functional Theory provides an existence proof that a functional exists to include dispersion, but we dont know the functional. We outline the existing methods, and then present new density matrices to improve the discretisation of the path integral. Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC), first proposed by Fermi, allows the fast computation of high-accuracy energies for static nuclear configurations, making it a useful method for model development, such as fitting repulsion potentials, but there is no straightforward way to generate forces. We derived new methods and trial wavefunctions for DMC, allowing the computation of energies for much larger systems to high accuracy. A Quantum Drude model of Xenon, fit in the gas-phase, was simulated in the condensed-phase using both DMC and PIMD. The new DMC methods allowed for calculation of the bulk modulus and lattice constant of FCC-solid Xenon. Both were in excellent agreement with experiment even though this model was fitted in the gasphase, demonstrating the power of Quantum Drudes to build transferable models by capturing many-body effects. We also used the Xenon model to test the new PIMD methods. Finally, we present the outline of a new QDO model of water, including QDO parameters fitted to the polarisabilities and dispersion coefficients of water.

Previous issue date: 2007<br>Vernonia brasiliana é um arbusto perene que varia entre 0,5 e 2,5m de
altura conhecida popularmente por assa-peixe, hervea-préa ou
tramanhém utilizada principalmente no tratamento de doenças do
sistema respiratório e digestivo. Estudos científicos já comprovaram
atividades antimalárica e antimicrobiana deste vegetal. O nosso trabalho
teve como objetivo avaliar a toxicidade aguda e as atividades
farmacológicas (antiinflamatória e antineoplásica em roedores) das folhas
da V. brasiliana. Foram realizados ensaios de toxicidade aguda, por via
intraperitoneal, com notificação das alterações comportamentais
resultantes da administração de cada dose. Os animais tratados
apresentaram reações tóxicas, sendo as reações comportamentais
excitatórias e estimulantes os efeitos mais pronunciados. Verificamos
também efeitos depressores e a taxa de mortalidade cresceu
progressivamente com o aumento da dose. Os dados histológicos
demonstraram que todos os animais que receberam o EHE de V.
brasiliana apresentaram fígado com algum grau de congestão vascular. O
aparecimento de novos efeitos adversos após 24h da administração e a
permanência de vários sintomas (72h) demonstraram que a droga possui
reações cumulativas. De acordo com a DL50 obtida, o extrato de V.
brasiliana pode ser considerado moderadamente tóxico quando
administrado por via intraperitoneal. Na avaliação da atividade
antiinflamatória utilizou-se o modelo de edema de pata induzido por
carragenina em ratos, com administração do extrato por via
intraperitoneal. Os resultados encontrados apresentaram indicativos de
combate ao processo inflamatório numa ação tardia, que foi conferido a
partir da 5ª hora após administração da maior dose estudada (150mg/Kg).
Em relação a atividade antineoplásica frente as linhagens Sarcoma 180 e
Carcinoma de Ehrlich, o extrato produziu significativa redução dos
tumores, com 93,88% de inibição tumoral para os animais portadores do
Sarcoma 180 (31,25mg/kg) e 86,70% para os portadores do Carcinoma de
Ehrlich (62,5 mg/Kg). A análise histopatológica demonstrou que o extrato
ocasionou um maior número de áreas necróticas, em ambas as linhagens.
Ao analisarmos a especificidade tumor-hospedeiro de cada linhagem em
relação às diferentes doses de V. brasiliana, observamos que o extrato
apresentou efeito mais significante frente ao Sarcoma 180 do que sobre o
Carcinoma de Ehrlich

A espécie encontra-se ameaçada de extinção devido à venda ilegal de plantas adultas nos mercados local e internacional, à exploração insustentável de seus frutos, à presença do gado nas áreas de ocorrência e, à degradação e redução de seu hábitat devido aos reflorestamentos com espécies exóticas. Informações sobre os níveis de diversidade genética, bem como o conhecimento da ecologia de B. eriospatha são fundamentais e devem ser utilizadas em planos de conservação. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi estabelecer estratégias de conservação a partir de informações genéticas e ecológicas de B. eriospatha. Com base em análises de DNA nuclear, utilizando-se nove marcadores microssatélites, o presente estudo avaliou o sistema reprodutivo, a diversidade e a estrutura genética de oito populações naturais de B. eriospatha (n=920) localizadas no Estado de Santa Catarina. Análise adicional em uma coleção de indivíduos de B. eriospatha (n=50) oriundos de tráfico ilegal, localizados em residências na cidade de Florianópolis/SC, foi realizada com o intuito de comparar os níveis de diversidade genética com os observados nas populações naturais. Além das análises genéticas, aspectos ecológicos como fenologia, demografia, herbivoria e predação foram também analisados em algumas das populações de B. eriospatha. Análises do sistema reprodutivo indicaram que B. eriospatha é uma espécie que se reproduz, preferencialmente, por cruzamentos (t ?m=0,96). A espécie é auto-compatível e a reprodução pode ocorrer por geitonogamia, indicando a capacidade de populações ou mesmo de indivíduos isolados sobreviver e persisitir. Os níveis de diversidade genética foram intermediários e variaram entre as populações de B. eriosptaha (HE=0,40-0,53; HO=0,22-0,51, AR=2,67-3,67). A presença de alelos raros e privativos foram observados na maioria das populações estudadas. A divergência genética entre as populações foi elevada e significativa (FST=0,16-0,25, p<0,005), indicando existirem diferenças genéticas importantes entre as populações ao longo do Estado. A presença de alelos raros e privativos e a diferenciação genética entre as populações de B. eriospatha atestam a necessidade de conservação in situ da variabilidade genética que ainda existe. Quando comparados, os níveis de diversidade genética foram maiores nos indivíduos que foram ilegalmente comercializados (HE=0,62, AR=5,11). A presença de alelos privativos e os índices de diversidade genética observados na coleção de indivíduos em Florianópolis indicam alto potencial para a coleta de sementes e uso de mudas em projetos de restauração e enriquecimento das populações naturais de B. eriospatha. Além disto, baseado em análises Bayesianas, a maior parte dos indivíduos que foram ilegalmente comercializados e plantados em Florianópolis tiveram diferente origens. Em relação a fenologia reprodutiva, a espécie floresce entre outubro e março, frutificando entre novembro e julho. No entanto, a floração e a frutificação foi sazonal entre eventos reprodutivos. As populações de B. eriospatha, exceto uma, apresentaram estrutura demográfica bimodal, constituída por plantas adultas e plântulas. Altas taxas de herbivoria foram registradas, indicando que a estrutura demográfica observada é resultado da ação do gado sobre o componente regenerante. Isto é corroborado pela ocorrência de outros estádios ontogenéticos em uma população onde o gado não está presente. Todos esses resultados, somados ao uso insustentável dos frutos e da alta taxa de predação de sementes, refletem o grau de ameaça em que se encontram as populações de B. eriospatha. Além da relevância de se considerar várias populações em ações de conservação da espécie, mapear e monitorar as populações remanescentes, combater o comércio ilegal e impedir a entrada do gado nas populações de B. eriospatha são ações imprescindíveis para evitar que, de fato, a espécie seja perdida.<br>Butia eriospatha (Martius ex Drude) Beccari (Arecaceae), a palm species native to southern Brazil, is under severe pressure due to anthropogenic factors. The species is threatened with extinction because of the illegal sale of adult plants in local and international markets, unsustainable exploitation of its fruit, livestock grazing in its habitat, and the reduction and degradation of its habitat due to reforestation with exotic species. Information on the genetic diversity levels, as well as ecological knowledge of B. eriospatha, are fundamental and an essential part of conservation planning for this species. Thus, the aim of this study was to establish conservation strategies from genetic and ecological information of B. eriospatha. Based on nuclear DNA analyzes using nine microsatellite markers, the present study evaluates the reproductive system, genetic diversity and structure of eight natural populations of B. eriospatha (n = 920) located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. An additional analysis of a sample of illegally-trafficked B. eriospatha (n = 50) individuals, located in residences of the city of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, was performed in order to compare levels of genetic diversity with those observed in natural populations. Along with genetic analysis, ecological information, such as phenology, demography, herbivory and predation, were also analyzed in four of the sample populations. Analysis of the reproductive system indicates that B. eriospatha is a species that reproduces primarily through out-crossing (t ?m=0.96). However, the species is self-compatible and reproduction can occur through geitonogamy, indicating the ability of populations, or even isolated individuals, to survive and persist. The levels of genetic diversity found in this study were intermediate and ranged between populations of B. eriosptaha (HE=0.40-0.53; HO=0.22-0.51, AR=2.67-3.67). Rare alleles were observed in most of the studied populations and genetic divergence among populations was high and significant (FST=0.16-0.25, p<0.005), indicating important genetic differences between populations. The presence of rare alleles and genetic differentiation among populations of B. eriospatha attests to the need for in situ conservation of the genetic variability that remains. When compared with the natural populations, the levels of genetic diversity were greater in the individuals that were illegally marketed (HE=0.62, AR=5.11). The presence of rare alleles and high rates of genetic diversity observed in the sample from Florianópolis indicates a high potential for seed collection and the use of seedlings in restoration projects and enrichment of natural populations of B. eriospatha. Moreover, based on Bayesian analysis, the illegally-purchased individuals planted in Florianópolis come from a variety of source populations. Regarding reproductive phenology, the species blooms between October and March, and fruiting occurs from November to July. However, flowering and fruiting were seasonal between observed reproductive events. All the studied natural populations of B. eriospatha, except one, showed a bimodal population structure, consisting of mature plants and seedlings. High rates of herbivory were recorded, indicating that the observed demographic structure is mainly the result of cattle grazing on the regeneration. This conclusion is supported by the occurrence of various ontogenic stages in a population where cattle are not present. Along with the unsustainable use of the fruit and high rates of seed predation, the results discussed herein reflect the level of risk facing B. eriospatha populations. Besides the necessary conservation of the species in a variety of populations, it is important to consider activities that will help prevent the loss of this species, such as mapping and monitoring the remaining populations, combating illegal trade, and preventing cattle grazing in B. eriospatha habitats.

Dissertation presented to obtain the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering, speciality on Perceptional Systems, by the Universidade Nova de Lisboa,
Faculty of Sciences and Technology<br>Drusen are common features in the ageing macula, caused by accumulation of extracellular materials beneath the retinal surface, visible in retinal fundus images as yellow spots.
In the ophthalmologists’ opinion, the evaluation of the total drusen area, in a sequence of images taken during a treatment, will help to understand the disease progression and effectiveness. However, this evaluation is fastidious and difficult to reproduce when performed manually.
A literature review on automated drusen detection showed that the works already
published were limited to techniques of either adaptive or global thresholds which showed a tendency to produce a significant number of false positives. The purpose for this work was to propose an alternative method to automatically quantify drusen using advanced digital image processing techniques.
This methodology is based on a detection and modelling algorithm to automatically
quantify drusen. It includes an image pre-processing step to correct the uneven illumination by using smoothing splines fitting and to normalize the contrast. To quantify drusen a detection and modelling algorithm is adopted. The detection uses a new gradient based segmentation algorithm that isolates drusen and provides basic drusen characterization to the modelling stage. These are then fitted by Gaussian functions, to produce a model of the
image, which is used to compute the affected areas.
To validate the methodology, two software applications, one for semi-automated
(MD3RI) and other for automated detection of drusen (AD3RI), were implemented. The first
was developed for Ophthalmologists to manually analyse and mark drusen deposits, while the other implemented algorithms for automatic drusen quantification.Four studies to assess the methodology accuracy involving twelve specialists have
taken place. These compared the automated method to the specialists and evaluated its
repeatability. The studies were analysed regarding several indicators, which were based on the
total affected area and on a pixel-to-pixel analysis. Due to the high variability among the
graders involved in the first study, a new evaluation method, the Weighed Matching Analysis,
was developed to improve the pixel-to-pixel analysis by using the statistical significance of
the observations to differentiate positive and negative pixels.
From the results of these studies it was concluded that the methodology proposed is
capable to automatically measure drusen in an accurate and reproducible process. Also, the thesis proposes new image processing algorithms, for image pre-processing, image
segmentation,image modelling and images comparison, which are also applicable to other image processing fields.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation research examines how shared aspects of identity are constructed among the Druze in Lebanon and how it contributes to conceptualizations of heritage. Assessing the educational resources focused on aspects of Druze heritage, the barriers to cultural preservation were elucidated. Utilizing a number of qualitative research methods, participants’ feedback constructed a narrative that considers what they believe to be at risk for their community. These issues included addressing a perceived knowledge gap wherein the majority of Druze expressed a need to expand the educational resources in their community. Participants defined the kinds of resources and social supports that are lacking and explained how existing texts, lectures, and seminars should be improved, increased, and made more accessible.
This dissertation is a result of ethnographic fieldwork which I conducted throughout 2014. Having lived in the town of Aley, Lebanon, I conducted research interviews with individuals that represented a broad spectrum of society, taking into account women and men of different ages with diverse social, economic, and educational backgrounds. Through participant observation, I shared many of the daily experiences of research participants and observed the Druze in their regular lives, their social gatherings, and at sites of historical significance.
Using a political economic theoretical framework, this research also explored the diversity of ways in which social phenomena are contested among the Druze in Lebanon. While much of the anthropological and social science research on heritage focuses on its material components, utilizing pre-established models that conflate heritage with tangible symbolic expressions, a political economic approach insists that the context of social structures are taken into account. This also lends itself to a conceptualization of heritage as a process by which individuals create meaning in their lives, which are shaped by social contexts such as history and contemporary culture. This research highlights the fact that a priori models that fail to consider both social structures and the fundamental perspectives of participants are based upon ideologies that lack a critical academic lens.
This dissertation demonstrates that while Druze particularism often necessitated a level of conformity and ascription to traditional values, the diversity of individual approaches to shared identity contributed to the plasticity of cultural forms and varieties of self-expression. As well, expanded and improved educational resources that encourage individuals to learn more about their history and the basic tenets of their faith were widely seen as a valued means of ensuring the society’s continuation.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is based on twenty-one months of ethnographic fieldwork in Damascus and Suwyada, Syria. Research focused on the Druze religious sect. The central focus is on a religious minority's strategies for preserving their sense of separateness and uniqueness while at the same time claiming pan-Arab and patriotic Syrian affiliations. Three broad topics are used to discuss this: reincarnation, marriage, and memory. Because the primary focus is on a religious minority, one of the major concerns has been to elucidate notions of relational identity from a Druze point of view. This dissertation is an argument against any kind of facilely labeled Druze identity, and is an extended discussion of various facets of Druze experience, on what it means to be a member of a religious minority in the contemporary Middle Eastern state of Syria in the mid-1990s. Identity might be best understood as affiliations and affinities, multiply interacting levels of meaning, and a question of frequently adjusting focus and perspective. Reincarnation is not usually associated with Islam, and the Druze belief in reincarnation is one thing that sets this sect apart from the Sunni majority in Syria, even stigmatizes them. This dissertation also explores the nature of the everyday lived experience of Druze reincarnation, and how it is a point of cohesion for the community as a whole, but at the cost of some emotional splintering of individuals selves and families. Reincarnation has concrete social effects on both families and communities. It brings together members of unrelated families who otherwise would never have cause to know one another. Reincarnation also functions doctrinally to support the sect's prohibition against outmarriage. Outmarriage was perceived to be occurring with increasing frequency among the Druze in the 1990s, and was a hot topic of conversation. This dissertation explores the nature of ideologies being reproduced, as well as challenged and altered, through the debate ongoing in the community regarding marriage and outmarriage. Both reincarnation and outmarriage are topics that raise the issue of the Druze's relationship to non-Druze, and relational identity, since they both deal with ideologies of boundary maintenance, and "purity" of sect membership.

In dieser Arbeit werden die nichtlokalen sowie nichtlinearen Eigenschaften plasmonischer Nanopartikel behandelt, wie sie im hydrodynamischen Modell enthalten sind. Das hydrodynamische Materialmodell stellt eine Erweiterung des Drude Modells dar, in der Korrekturen in der Beschreibung des Elektronenplasmas berücksichtigt werden. Einer ausführlichen Einführung des Materialmodells folgt eine analytische Diskussion der Auswirkungen der Nichtlokalität am Beispiel eines einzelnen Zylinders. Hierbei werden die durch die Nichtlokalität herbeigeführten Frequenzverschiebungen in den Streu- und Absorptionsspektren quantifiziert und asymptotisch behandelt. Des Weiteren wird mit Hilfe einer konformen Abbildung das Problem eines zylindrischen Dimers in der Elektrostatischen Näherung gelöst und die Moden der Struktur bestimmt. Diese Untersuchungen dienen als maßgebliche Grundlage für weiterführende numerische Studien die mit der diskontinuierlichen Galerkin Zeitraummethode durchgeführt werden. Die durch die analytischen Betrachtungen gewonnene Kenntnis der Moden ermöglicht es, im Zusammenhang mit gruppentheoretischen Betrachtungen und numerischen Untersuchungen, rigorose Auswahlregeln für die Anregung der Moden durch lineare und nichtlineare Prozesse aufzustellen. In weiterführenden numerischen Simulationen werden außerdem Strukturen niedrigerer Symmetrie, auf die sich die Auswahlregeln übertragen lassen, untersucht. Zudem werden numerische Studien präsentiert in denen der Einfluss der Nichtlokalität auf Feldüberhöhungen in Dimeren und doppel-resonantes Verhalten (es liegt sowohl bei der Frequenz des eingestrahlten Lichtes als auch bei der zweiten harmonischen eine Resonanz vor) untersucht werden.<br>This thesis deals with the nonlocal and nonlinear properties of plasmonic nanoparticles, as described by the hydrodynamic model. The hydrodynamic material model represents an extension of the Drude model that contains corrections to the descriptions of the electron plasma. After a thorough derivation of the material model, analytical discussions of nonlocality are presented for the example of a single cylinder. The frequency shifts in the scattering and absorption spectra are quantified and treated asymptotically. Furthermore, by applying a conformal map, the problem of a cylindrical dimer is solved in the electrostatic limit and the modes of the structure are determined. These investigations lay the foundations for numerical investigations which are performed employing the discontinuous Galerkin time domain method. The analytical knowledge of the modes, in conjunction with group theoretical considerations and numerical analysis, enables the formulation of rigorous selection rules for the excitation of modes by linear and nonlinear processes. In further numerical studies, the influence of nonlocality on the field enhancement in dimer structures and double-resonant behavior (a resonance is found at the frequency of the incoming light and at the second harmonic) are investigated.

Full textAbstract:
The political actions of the Druze of Israel have formed the focus of a large body of research. Despite this, academic studies to date have failed to explain why so many Druze resorted to a politics of loyalty when Israel was first established but have, in more recent years, resorted to a politics of violence. The research herein proposes that a model of the politics of accommodation is able to explain the political actions of the Druze during the first three decades of the Israeli state. Data from The Israel State Archives and the archives of leading Druze families show that many Israeli-Druze resorted to a politics of loyalty. This loyalty was inextricably linked to the perception of the new state and its government's policy as creating a new structure of opportunity for the economic, social and political progress of the Druze community whilst also safeguarding the Israeli-Druze community as a distinctive cultural and religious group on its own land. Similarly, it is proposed that the ethnic state supremacy model is able to explain the recent rise in the politics of violence within the Israeli-Druze community. Data from personal interviews with state officials and Druze activists confirmed that many Israeli-Druze resorted to a politics of violence because they perceived the Israeli government's policy as a threat to their preservation as a cultural and religious group on its own land. This study of Druze political action is intended as a contribution to the debate surrounding the Israeli state's politics in relation to Israel's Arab minority. This research also seeks to address wider issues in that it proposes a model that is applicable to the general question of ethnic conflict resolution in divided societies and polarised states.

Full textAbstract:
An investigation of the spectral reflectance of the fundus in normals and patients with common eye diseases was carried out using a multi wavelength scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO). With a knowledge of the spectral properties of the principal ocular pigments in the fundus, the appearance of the retina and choroid is predictable in normal subjects. The optic disc has a characteristic dark appearance when viewed with the SLO, and reasons for this may include a filtering effect of the confocal aperture to reduce the return of scattered light to the detector. In patients with macular exudates these features have a high reflectance in green-yellow light. An image processing method has been developed to quantify exudates and this was applied to SLO images and digitised colour slides of the same patients. Results show similar performance of processing in both image types with high accuracy (90% sensitivity for 95% specificity). A similar experiment was carried out on patients with macular drusen. These structures are of lower intensity than exudates and may have less well-defined borders. Again performance of the image processing methods showed broadly similar performance when comparing SLO images and digitised colour slides (60 to 68% sensitivity for 95% specificity). A study was carried out to assess the ability of the SLO to image the fundus in patients with cataract using a range of wavelengths. In conclusion the SLO offers the ability to image the fundus at selected wavelengths to enhance the desired features under investigation. As a fundus camera, used to generate digital images, it is unlikely to offer significant improvements over commercially available digital imaging CCD cameras. However, the SLO has properties which are likely to make it an ideal instrument for reflectometry, angiography and fundus topography. These applications are discussed in the final chapter.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em
Engenharia Biomédica<br>O olho humano é constituído internamente por um tecido complexo e opticamente heterogéneo, a retina. A retina capta os estímulos luminosos exteriores e converte-os em impulsos nervosos que dão origem à sensação visual. A Degeneração Macular Relacionada com a Idade (DMRI) é uma doença crónica e irreversível. Ela causa danos na retina por acumulação de materiais extracelulares, o que leva à perda da acuidade visual. Um dos sintomas mais comuns da DMRI é o aparecimento de drusas, nódulos irregulares de cor amarelada. Devido ao seu potencial irreversível é importante diagnosticar atempadamente para um tratamento precoce. Nesse sentido, construiu-se um modelo da retina através da plataforma GEANT4, que permitiu simular e analisar os fenómenos de dispersão provocados por essa doença. A plataforma GEANT4 possui bibliotecas de classes C++ e aplica métodos de Monte Carlo que possibilitam simular a propagação dos fotões no fundo ocular.
De modo a testar a validade da implementação efectuada, foi realizado um estudo dos valores de reflectância, transmitância e absorvância para comparação com outro método conhecido que descreve o transporte da luz em várias camadas de tecidos, Monte Carlo Modeling of Light Transport in Multi-layered Tissues (MCML). Concluiu-se que existe uma diferença significativa entre os valores previstos pelas duas implementações. É sugerida uma explicação para as referidas diferenças. Posteriormente, foi realizada uma avaliação com os valores de reflectância encontrados na literatura para o fundo ocular e retina. Essa avaliação validou a implementação efectuada no GEANT4 para o estudo do fundo ocular. Por fim, foram efectuados estudos que demonstraram que a distribuição espacial dos fotões é altamente dependente do livre percurso médio de dispersão do objecto em estudo, a drusa. Foram ainda realizadas simulações que pretenderam aproximar o estudo das condições reais a que um possível diagnóstico poderá estar sujeito. O trabalho efectuado forneceu dados importantes acerca da distribuição espacial dos fotões provocada pela doença que foi implementada, e trás alguma luz à forma como os fotões se propagam no fundo ocular.

Previous issue date: 2002-04-11<br>Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos<br>In the present work the Drude weight is calculated to study the capacity of conduction at finite temperatures in one-dimensional rings with the potencial given by the sequences of different degrees of randomness and threaded by a time independent magnetic flux. In this context, the tight-binding approximation is used to solve the Schrödinger equation,also permitting the potencials, given by substitution sequences, to be implemented in a simple way. We study four situations in which the potencial is given by periodic and random sequence. The transport properties exhibited by the system in each case are to reflect the degree of randomness presented by these potencials, although in a nontrivial manner if one considers a hierarchy of disorder based on the Fourier transform of the sequences. The role played by temperature in the capacity of conduction, as compared with the role played by the potencials, is also described.<br>No presente trabalho, através do cálculo do peso de Drude estudamos a capacidade de condução a temperaturas finitas, em anéis unidimensionais com potenciais dados por seqüências de diferentes graus de desordem e atravessados por fluxo magnético independente do tempo. Neste contexto, utilizamos o modelo tight-binding na resolução da equação de Schrödinger, o que permite inserir os potenciais, dados por seqüências de substituição, de maneira simples. Estudamos quatro casos em que esse potencial seja dado por seqüências não periódicas. Os resultados são comparados com os dois casos limites de organização, a saber, as seqüências periódica e desordenada. Observa-se que o grau de desordem apresentado por estes potenciais reflete-se nas propriedades de transporte exibidas pelo sistema em cada caso, embora de maneira não trivial se considerada uma hierarquia de desordem baseada na transformada de Fourier das seqüências. Descreve-se também a influência da temperatura, frente à influência dos potenciais, na capacidade de condução.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this research was to obtain, specifically, data on the marriage customs of the Druze in the Shouf Mountains of southeastern Lebanon. Ten Druze informants were selected and classified according to sex, age, marital status and religious status (sheik/sheika). A detailed questionnaire was designed to use during the interviews with these informants. However, after two interviews, it became apparent that a variable questionnaire was necessary to take advantage of the new, richly-detailed, cultural information that emerged with each informant. New questions were developed, in the field, to reflect and gather this new ethnographic data on Druze marriage customs.

Full textAbstract:
2008/2009<br>L'aroma di una tazza di caffè appena preparata è l'espressione finale di una lunga catena di trasformazioni che partano dal chicco verde alla bevanda fumante. I semi di caffè contengono tutti i precursori necessari per generare l'aroma durante la fase di tostatura, ma nel determinare un prodotto di qualità concorrono diversi fattori: la genetica, la chimica, l'ambiente e l'uomo.
Questo lavoro di ricerca si divide essenzialmente in due parti. In una prima fase è stato possibile aggiornare il database locale con informazioni genetiche riguardanti il trascrittoma delle drupe in via di maturazione di Coffea arabica. La seconda fase, mediante l'utilizzo della tecnica della real time PCR, ha permesso lo studio del profilo di espressione genica dei semi di caffè verde trattati con diversi metodi post-raccolta e con diverse percentuali di acqua.
La raccolta di cDNA di drupe in via di sviluppo è stata processata attraverso l'utilizzo di 2 diverse tecniche di sequenziamento, il metodo a terminazione di catena (Sanger) e l'innovativo pirosequenziamento (454 Sequencing) ed è stato possibile aggiornare il database locale (www.coffeedna.net). In totale sono state ottenute 148.777 sequenze sotto forma di Expressed Sequence Tag's (EST). Queste sono state processate eliminando sequenze a bassa qualità, sequenze altamente ripetute e togliendo eventuali adattatori. Successivamente sono state sottoposte ad assemblaggio ibrido, metodica che permette di utilizzare i dati derivanti da tecniche di sequenziamento diverse (454 Sequencing e Sanger) per ottenere delle lunghe sequenze contigue (contig) rappresentanti di potenziali geni. Successivamente è stata fatta l'annotazione genomica per l'idetificazione dei geni e di altri elementi funzionali. In totale è stato possibile annotare 5.774 contig (sui 22.383 iniziali), pari al 25,66% di identificazioni. Nella seconda fase del progetto di ricerca, l’obiettivo è stato volto alla caratterizzazione di alcuni processi biologici mediante un’attenta valutazione quantitativa dell’espressione genica con real time PCR. Si tratta di una tecnologia sensibile e specifica che consente la contemporanea valutazione di un certo numero di marcatori utilizzando una limitata quantità di campione. Questa metodica consente di avere un dato di espressione relativa di un gene bersaglio che viene quantizzato normalizzando contro qualcosa di costitutivo, i geni di riferimento (o reference genes). Questi sono trascritti il cui livello di espressione è costante attraverso tutti i campioni e nelle varie condizioni di reazione. Per questo lavoro sono stati identificati 2 specifici reference genes (GAPDH e Rpl 7) di Coffea arabica. Dalle informazioni dei database pubblici e del nostro database locale è stato invece possibile selezionare e disegnare 16 coppie di primer, specifici per C. arabica, da studiare nell'analisi di espressione dei geni in determinati campioni.
Un profilo di espressione genica viene definito come l’insieme dei geni attivati in un tessuto in un particolare momento o condizione. È possibile misurare le differenzetra tessuti diversamente trattati, analizzandone semplicemente il profilo dei geni espressi attraverso la tecnica della real time PCR. Per questo lavoro di tesi sono stati selezionati 16 geni d'interesse sia metabolico che biochimico, coinvolti in diverse attività cellulari di regolazione dei livelli di alcuni composti, quali lipidi, carboidrati, caffeina e acidi clorogenici, associati a caratteristiche qualitative della bevanda. I geni selezionati sono stati studiati in diversi campioni e in diverse situazioni. Innanzitutto sono state studiate le relazioni tra l'espressione relativa dei geni in campioni che si differenziano per il luogo di crescita e per i trattamenti post-raccolta. Avendo a disposizione semi di caffè verde di origine brasiliana coltivati in 2 località e trattati con 3 diversi trattamenti postraccolta (metodo naturale, lavato e semilavato) è stato possibile evidenziare come in alcuni casi le località siano discriminanti sull'espressione genica, mentre altre volte siano i trattamenti post-raccolta ad essere significativi della variabilità nell'espressione genica. In un secondo momento gli stessi geni sono stati analizzati in campioni con diverse concentrazioni di acqua nel seme verde. È ben noto dalla normativa internazionale di standardizzazione ISO 1446:2001 che il contenuto di acqua del seme deve corrispondere ad un valore pari al'11±1% per consentire un adeguato stoccaggio e trasporto dei campioni senza incorrere in difetti quali la fermentazione o la rottura dei chicchi. Dalle analisi real time è stato possibile individuare come in alcuni casi le percentuali di acqua incidano in modo significativo sull'espressione di alcuni geni: dopo un picco di attività nei campioni con il 14,1% di acqua residua, al diminuire della concentrazione di acqua residua diminuisce l'espressione di alcuni geni, probabilmente in seguito ad una degradazione del delicato messaggero. Questi dati sono molto importanti dal punto di vista qualitativo perché potrebbero consentire alcune migliorie nella qualità finale del prodotto. È doveroso ricordare che nella definizione dell'aroma ci sono più di 800 singoli composti che combinandosi tra loro danno origine alle qualità percettive della bevanda ed inoltre la componente personale ha un impatto importante sulla definizione di miglior o peggior aroma.<br>XXII Ciclo<br>1978

Ce travail de thèse est une contribution à l’étude des propriétés optiques de structures plasmoniques composées de nanoparticules métalliques. Il s’appuie sur diverses simulations numériques réalisées à l’aide de la méthode des différences finies dans le domaine temporel ou FDTD (Finite-Difference Time-Domain). La première partie de ce travail concerne l’étude d’un réseau périodique de nanofils d’or, de section droite rectangulaire, situé au sein d’un environnement diélectrique multi-couches. L’influence des paramètres géométriques des nanofils, de la période du réseau et de l’épaisseur de diélectrique recouvrant les nanofils sur la position spectrale de la résonance plasmonique a été explorée. Cette étude a démontré que la longueur d’onde de résonance oscille quand l’épaisseur du diélectrique recouvrant les nanofils varie. Un modèle analytique simple a été développé afin de mieux appréhender l’origine de ces oscillations. L’influence des indices de réfraction de la matrice diélectrique sur les paramètres de l’oscillation a également été analysée. La deuxième partie de ce travail a été consacrée à la détermination et à l’étude de facteurs contrôlant la sensibilité des capteurs à résonance de plasmons de surface localisés. Différentes formes de nanoparticules et différents types de nanofils ont été analysés. De plus, trois grands thèmes ont été abordés :- l’influence sur la sensibilité du substrat sur lequel sont déposées les nanoparticules,- l’influence sur la sensibilité du matériau recouvrant les nanoparticules et,- l’origine du lien existant entre la longueur d’onde de résonance plasmonique et la sensibilité des nanoparticules à un changement d’indice de réfraction<br>This thesis is a contribution to the optical properties study of plasmonic structures composed by metallic nanoparticles. This study is based on numerical simulation results obtained by the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD).The first part of this work is related to the analysis of gold nanowires periodic arrays, which section is rectangular, placed in a multi-layered dielectric environment. The influence of the nanowires geometrical parameters, of the array period and of the dielectric thickness covering the nanowires on the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) spectral position has been explored. This study especially demonstrated that the resonance wavelength oscillates when the dielectric thickness covering the nanowires is varying. A simple analytical model has been developed in order to better understand the oscillations origin. The influence of the refractive indexes of the dielectric matrix on the oscillation parameters has been analyzed too.The second part of this work concerns the determination and the study of factors controlling LSPR sensors sensitivity. Different shapes of nanoparticles and different kinds of nanowires have been considered. Moreover, three wide topics have been approached in this part:- the influence of the nanoparticles substrate on the sensitivity,- the influence of the material covering the nanoparticles on the sensitivity and,- the origin of the relationship between the LSPR wavelentgh and the refractive index sensitivity of the nanoparticles

Full textAbstract:
Le Druzisme représente un courant philosophico-religieux qui peut être considéré comme une doctrine d'apparence religieuse, de pensée philosophique et systématique, de référence gnostique dans l'histoire de l'Islam. Ses adeptes vivent en communauté hermétique, ses sages (šeiẖs) se retirent dans des réclusions (ẖalwāt) en s'isolant comme des mystiques, ils se livrent à une retraite spirituelle sans pratique religieuse, ils ne se réfèrent à aucune tradition précédente des religions monothéistes, de par leurs écrits ou leurs pratiques. Ils conservent une tradition et une éthique avec un code de conduite et des interdits culinaires. En revanche, le Druzisme est né au sein de l'Isma`ilisme, il établit un lien intellectuel et spirituel avec la philosophie antique et avec le néoplatonisme tout en assimilant des éléments des religions d'orient avec des éléments grecs helléniques. Peut-on alors parler d'une secte de l'Islam, du moment où il n'y a aucun lien avec ce dernier sinon le milieu historique dans lequel celle-ci est vu le jour? Peut-on parler de religion, quand il n'y a aucune religiosité ou pratique religieuse exprimée ou vécue? S'agit-il de dire que l'on est face à une théosophie alors que le lien entre les membres de la communauté n'est pas fondé sur la philosophie et que le commun des Druzes n'est pas philosophe? Comment qualifier ce phénomène d'une communauté dont le lien est une foi qui n'est pas exprimée religieusement, et une doctrine dont le contenu n'est pas révélé, à laquelle s'attachent des membres qui ne le connaissent qu'une fois initiés? En somme, qui sont les Druzes et qu'est-ce que le Druzisme? Existe-t-il un lien entre cette doctrine et la gnose?<br>Druzism is a philosophico-religious movement which may be considered primarily as a doctrine but with a religious appearance, a systematic and philosophical thinking, with some reference to Gnosticism in the history of Islam. Its adherents live in a community of hermits, its wisemen (šeiẖs) retire in seclusion (ẖalwāt) by isolating themselves like mystics, as they deliver themselves to living in a spiritual retreat, without any religious practice ; they refer to no previous religious traditions even among the monotheistic ones, whether in reference to their sacred writings or religious practice. The Druze adheres to a tradition and a code of ethics and behaviour, as well as to culinary prohibitions. Druzism itself however, was born in the heart of Ismailism, while establishing an intellectual and a spiritual link with both ancient philosophies and neoplatonism, all the while assimilating various element of mid and far-eastern religions, mixed with Greek and Hellenistic ideas. Can we therefore speak of the Druze as if forming a sect of Islam? Can we even speak of a religion where in fact there is no trace of religiosity or religious practice either expressed or lived? Is it possible that we are facing theosophy where the link between the members of the community is certainly not founded on a philosophy? How can one qualify this phenomenon of a community where the main tenet is that of a faith which is not expressed in a religious manner, and a held doctrine the contents of which are not revealed, to which its members adhere, not knowing it fully unless once initiated? In summary, who are the Druzes, and what is Druzism? Is there a link between its doctrine and that of Gnosticism?
