El objetivo general de este trabajo de tesis es elaborar un plan de negocio que permita crear una empresa comercializadora de Papas Duchesses en Chile. La metodología desarrollada en el presente trabajo corresponde a un Plan de Negocio, en el cual se realiza un estudio de mercado, en base a entrevistas personales a chef, product manager ventas, administradores de restaurantes y encuestas vía web. Además de un estudio de segmentación geográfica de clientes en la región Metropolitana, análisis estratégico, el modelo de negocio, la estrategia comercial, operacional y un análisis económico financiero. La investigación de mercado nos entrega un conocimiento amplio de la segmentación geográfica de restaurantes en las 34 comunas del gran Santiago, donde existen 3 comunas donde se concentran el 62% de la totalidad de los restaurantes, Santiago, Providencia, Las Condes, con un consumo promedio de papa de 720 kilos mensuales por restaurante. En la descripción del mercado se identificaron 53 empresas a nivel nacional dedicadas a la importación de papas procesadas, con una importación anual de 77.245.700 kilos de papa al año, siendo un producto particularmente estacional, en diciembre su demanda aumenta 300%. El mercado potencial solo en la ciudad de Santiago es de 10 Millones de Dólares mensuales. Existen 3 tipos clientes, Retail 20% de la demanda anual, Fast Food con un 40% de la demanda anual y Food Service o Canal Horeca con un 40% de la demanda anual. Como conclusión del análisis de mercado es posible determinar que el segmento objetivo en base al producto gourmet las variables de rentabilidad, crecimiento y tamaño son Hoteles, Restoranes y Casinos. La evaluación económica considera una inversión inicial de $ 178.983.233, el análisis del flujo de caja se realizó por un periodo de 5 años y una tasa de descuento del 10,22%, la cual fue calculada a través de CAPM. Se obtuvo un VAN positivo de $4.116.886.595 y una TIR del 248% en un escenario real con financiamiento. Por lo cual se aconseja realizar el proyecto ya que resulta positivo para los inversionistas. Finalmente, la planificación estratégica está enfocada en la innovación por producto y diferenciación por servicio, como accionas futuras se recomienda diversificar las oferta con nuevos productos innovadores, ya que la competencia nos puede sacar del mercado, en una guerra de precios.

Full textAbstract:
Working within a broad theoretical and disciplinary framework this dissertation explores a range of programmes of cultural and religious enterprise in which Medici women in the late sixteenth to early seventeenth centuries were engaged. I seek to examine the ways in which patronage activities and the wider entrepreneurial, aesthetic and devotional acts of the Florentine grand duchesses of this period worked to position them culturally, spiritually, politically and dynastically. Drawing on existing scholarship in the fields of art and architectural patronage, public festivals and rituals, pilgrimage and collecting practice, I offer new analyses based on empirical research and documentary evidence, which retrieve and assess aspects of the cultural activities of Giovanna of Austria, wife of Francesco de' Medici, grand duke of Tuscany; Cristina of Lorraine, wife of Francesco's successor, Ferdinando I; and Maria Maddalena of Austria, wife of Cosimo II. Where appropriate, these activities are read in relation to those of Maria de' Medici, their relative and queen of France. The project opens with the arrival in Florence in 1565 of Giovanna of Austria, an event celebrated as a triumphal entry. Developing themes of display, spectacle and women's representation in public space, I move on to consider the roles of the later grand duchesses by tracing the activities which made them visible, and exploring how the rituals in which they participated fashioned and projected their identities as brides, mothers, grand duchesses and, eventually, regentesses. I examine the grand duchesses' pilgrimages to Loreto, identifying these as spectacular processional rituals with special spiritual and political resonances. I consider the concealed spaces of female Medicean devotion: the convents which they visited, supported and adapted to their own needs, and Maria Maddalena of Austria's private chapel in Palazzo Pitti in which she preserved a vast collection of valuable relics and reliquaries. Questions on devotional and secular activities, on public and private space, on propagandistic display and religious observance, that link the diverse studies of this dissertation, are addressed in the final chapter in relation to Maria Maddalena's lavish programme of rebuilding and decoration at the suburban palace she bought in the 1620s, the Villa del Poggio Imperiale. This project seeks broadly to draw out, delineate and contextualise the limits and possibilities of Medici women's cultural activities in the period to bring more clearly into focus their social, political and gendered dimensions.

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse de doctorat trouve son origine dans la singularité de l’histoire de la seconde Maison d’Anjou (1360-1481), qui se caractérise, à chaque génération, par des temps de rupture au cours desquels les femmes se trouvent en charge de la conduite de l’État comme régente, lieutenante ou en tant que vice-régente. Cette dynastie princière française offre un terrain d’observation privilégié pour décrire et expliquer un phénomène, en cours d’élaboration juridique et pratique à la fin du Moyen Âge, celui de l’exercice du pouvoir politique par des souveraines qui n’auraient pas dû gouverner. Grâce au croisement de sources de nature très variée, il s’agit aussi de mesurer les progrès administratifs ou les évolutions institutionnelles de la principauté auxquels participent les duchesses. Ces dernières ont également joué un rôle essentiel dans la construction territoriale de leur État, permettant de donner corps à une histoire commune d’espaces traditionnellement étudiés de façon indépendante : l’Anjou, la Provence, le Barrois, la Lorraine, Naples. L’étude, qui porte sur plus d’un siècle, repose sur une dialectique entre existence individuelle et fortune collective afin d’offrir une cohérence nouvelle aux problématiques liant l’identité et l’action politique féminine. Celle-ci est abordée au travers d’approches multiples (politique, anthropologique, juridique, quantitative) et de thèmes variés (finances, entourage, gouvernement des corps constitués, guerre, relations diplomatiques). L’analyse met ainsi à jour les mécanismes et les dynamiques par lesquelles, d’un côté, ces princesses exercent leur autorité à l’égal des hommes, comme des femmes « au coeur d’homme », tout en étant, d’un autre, contraintes par les restrictions morales, mentales et juridiques imposées à leur genre, les conduisant à adopter une pratique gouvernementale spécifiquement féminine, à exalter des vertus singulières, voire à tenter de modifier les règles de la politique ordinaireThis PhD thesis is based on the specificity of the history of the second House of Anjou (1360-1481) characterized in each generation by moments of discontinuity in which women find themselves in state governing positions as regents, lieutenants or vice-regents. This princely French dynasty offers a unique opportunity to observe and analyze a phenomenon that was in the developing stages both judicially and practically at the end of the Middles Ages, namely the exercise of political power by sovereigns who were not supposed to govern. Due to the increasing variety of existing sources, this study will also assess the administrative progress or institutional developments in the principalities where the Duchesses were involved in governing. The Duchesses have also been instrumental in the territorial expansions of their states, enabling the articulation of a common history for areas traditionally studied independently: Anjou, Provence, Barrois, Lorena, and Naples. The study, spanning over a century, draws on the dialectic of individual existence and collective destiny in order to offer a new interpretation to issues concerning women’s identity and political actions. These issues are analyzed using multiple approaches (political, anthropologic, legal, judicial, and quantitative) and various themes (finances, entourages, governing of constitutional bodies, war, diplomatic affairs). As a result, the analysis sheds light on the mechanisms and dynamics by which, on one hand, these princesses exert their authority as men’s equal, as women « with a man’s heart », while on the other hand, forced by their gender’s moral, intellectual and judicial imposed constraints, they adopt a governing style specifically feminine, exalt particular virtues or even change the rules of ordinary politics

Lebrun, Myriam. "La duchesse d'Abrantès : une femme, une romancière." Paris 4, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA040002.
Full textAbstract:
L'œuvre romanesque de la duchesse d'Abrantès, abordée d'un point de vue historique et littéraire, permet de circonscrire tant les influences contemporaines stylistiques et idéologiques que l'originalité de la créatrice. Marquée par les courants historique, fantastique, mélodramatique, nourrie de l'actualité politique, sociale et littéraire du moment, elle restitue une époque. Traversée par une dimension autobiographique à valeur autojustificative et compensatoire, elle livre un portrait nouveau de la femme, animée d'un projet éducatif, elle illustre une thèse féministe dans l'image de la condition féminine durant le premier tiers du XIXe siècle. Quatre panégyriques de modèles historiques imposent la reconnaissance de la réussite féminine dans des domaines alors réservés aux hommes; une douzaine de romans intimistes évoquent l'éducation, le mariage, le statut respectif du mari et de la femme dans le couple, l'adultère dans le monde aristocratique et dénoncent dans une mise en scène romanesque de l'échec conjugal et dans une étude des méandres de la psychologie féminine, l'autorité abusive des hommes et la situation d'infériorité faite à la femme, proie facile pour les séducteurs, réduite à la passivité dans le couple, reconnue seulement comme génitrice et éducatrice. La duchesse d'Abrantès évolue dans sa réflexion de l'intransigeance à la recherche de la conciliation, et malgré un réquisitoire violent conclut à une résolution du problème dans une recherche de l'harmonie qui passe par une évolution des mentalités et la reconnaissance d'une égalite de nature entre l'homme et la femmeAn historical and literary study of the duchess of Abrantès's novels encircles as many contemporary, stylistic and ideological trends as the originality of the author herself. The works of the duchess of Abrantes were greatly influenced by the historical, fantastic, romantic and melodramatic undercurrents of the time, and indeed the duchess drew heavily upon contemporary, political, social and literary events. Her works truly reflect the age in which she lived. In the novels, there is a strong autobiographical element by which she attempted to paint a very different portrait of herself. Driven by educational motives, the duchess was able to give her vision of feminism by illustrating in her novels examples of the female condition that existed in the nineteenth century. Her four panegyric historical portrait lead her readers to become aware of female prowess in areas normally reserved for men. In twelve other novels she wrote intimately of education, marriage, the respective status of man and wife and adultery in the aristocracy. She used these novels to denounce the authority of men, the inferior position of women and their vulnerability in the face of seducers. She condemned the then status of marriage in which the wife was destined to be the powerless underdog whose only value was to bear children and then educate them. The views espoused by the duchess of Abrantès did in fact evolve from one of intransigence to one of conciliation. Despite her bitter indictment at the outset she concluded that the problem of marriage could be solved by a. .

Bloomfield, Jeremy Charles. ""I am Duchess of Malfi still" : the framing of Webster's "The Duchess of Malfi"." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/3257.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the ways in which Webster’s Duchess of Malfi has been framed and interpreted, selecting various case studies from the four hundred years of the play’s history. It analyses the way in which a number of discourses have been brought to bear upon the play to delimit and shape its meanings, in the absence of a powerful determining author-figure such as Shakespeare. The investigation is organised around three “strands”, or elements which reappear in the commentary on the play. These are “pastness”, the sense that the play is framed as belonging to an earlier era and resistant to being completely interpreted by the later theatrical context being used to reproduce it; “not-Shakespeare”, the way in which Malfi has been set up in opposition to a “Shakespearean” model of dramatic value, or folded into that model; and “the dominance of the Duchess”, the tendency for the central character to act as a focus for the play’s perceived meanings. It identifies and analyses the co-opting of these elements in the service of wildly varying cultural politics throughout the play’s history. Sited within the assumptions and practices of Early Modern performance studies, this thesis constitutes an intervention in the field, demonstrating the possibility of a radically decentred approach. Such an approach is freed from either a reliance on Shakespeare as a prototypical model from which other works are imagined as diverging, or from the progressive narrative of theatre history in which twentieth century scholars “discovered” the true inherent meaning of early modern drama which had been “obscured” by the intervening centuries of theatre practice. It reveals blindspots and weaknesses in the existing Shakespeare-centred conception of the field, and opens up new possibilities for understanding Early Modern drama in historical and contemporary performance.

Richard, Stéphanie. "Vies et morts des couples. Les séparations conjugales princières (Deuxième Maison d’Orléans, XIVe-XVe siècles)." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040164.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat étudie la séparation des époux princiers sous ses différentes formes, ainsi que les pratiques mises en oeuvre par les conjoints de la haute noblesse en de telles occasions. L’expression séparation conjugale permet de désigner des cas de figure divers : suspensions plus ou moins durables de la cohabitation entre mari et femme, ou désunions définitives, ces situations étant judiciairement sanctionnées ou non. La recherche s’appuie sur l’observatoire privilégié que constituent les couples mariés de la deuxième Maison d’Orléans aux XIVe-XVe siècles, car les vies maritales de ces ducs et duchesses permettent d’envisager un échantillon très diversifié de situations. Cette analyse permet de montrer que mariage et vie de couple renvoient à des réalités complexes, bien plus diverses que ce que suggèrent les prescriptions de l’Église et des laïcs sur le lien matrimonial et la vie conjugale. L’objectif de ce travail est également d’améliorer notre compréhension de la structure mari-femme et du fonctionnement des couples dans l’aristocratie princière. L’étude éclaire par conséquent les solidarités à l’œuvre entre les époux, lorsque ceux-ci se retrouvent séparés sans que cette situation ait été provoquée par leur volonté de ne plus se côtoyer. Elle montre que le couple se définit avant tout par des liens économiques entre mari et femme. La thèse permet aussi, en retour, de souligner les marges d’action dont peuvent disposer les conjoints, l’un par rapport à l’autre et dans la société, lorsqu’au moins l’un des époux entend mettre fin à la vie commune ou au mariageThis PhD thesis deals with the topic of marital separation in its various forms; it aims at analyzing the behaviors which are implemented by spouses of higher nobility on such occasions. The phrase marital separation may be used to designate a wide range of configurations: for example, when husband and wife, though still married, are not living together, or when a marriage comes to an end, all these situations being reached through a legal process or not. This research is especially based on a thorough analysis examining the couples of the Second House of Orleans in the 14th and 15th centuries, as the marital lives of these Dukes and Duchesses provide a large sample of possible cases of separation. The research shows that the realities associated with marriage and married life are much more complex than what ecclesiastical and secular rules suggest on these matters. Another purpose of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the conjugal structure in princely aristocracy and of how married couples work. Therefore, the study sheds light on the solidarities shared by spouses when their separation does not derive from their own will to part. It shows that married couples are primarily defined by economic bonds between husband and wife. This work also highlights the possible autonomy enjoyed by spouses, in society and towards each other, in the cases where at least one of them intends to adjourn cohabitation or wants to put an end to their marriage

Full textAbstract:
La première partie de l'étude est consacrée à l'édition critique de la correspondance de la duchesse de Ferrare, de son mariage (1528) à sa mort (1575). La deuxième partie examine l'activité épistolaire de la duchesse en suivant trois axes, domestique, politique et religieux, mesurant l'efficacité de l'outil épistolaire. En religion, Renée de France oscille entre positions évangéliques et loyautés calvinistes. En politique, le louvoiement est érigé en système, les protecteurs sont de tous les camps : Anne de Montmorency, les Guise, les Coligny. En Italie comme en France, la princesse use de la lettre comme d'un outil privilégié de la négociation. On y rencontre des nuances confessionnelles oubliées par l'historiographie. On y retrouve cette part de liberté de conscience, de culte et de gouvernement qu'une aristocrate, veuve et princesse de sang, a pu gagner dans le cadre étroit mais stratégique de son domaine de MontargisThe first part of this study is devoted to a critical edition of the letters of the duchess of Ferrara, from her mariage (1528) to her death (1575). The second part examines her epistolary activities, following three main lines : domestic, political and religious. As far as religion is concerned, Renée de France oscillates between evangelism and calvinism. In politics, there is a systematic hedging and her protectors are from each party, Anne de Montmorency's, Guise's or Coligny's. In France, in Italy, the princess sees the letter as a privileged way to negociate. We can find there some confessional subtle points that historiography forgot to mention, and we can gauge the efforts expended by this princess of the blood in order to gain freedom of consciensciousness, cult and government in Montargis

Full textAbstract:
Isabelle de Portugal (1397-1471), épouse en 1430 de Philippe le Bon, duc de Bourgogne, a exercé son autorité et sa protection sur une sphère familiale large composée de son fils Charles, de batards du duc, de cousins, de neveux et nièces, dont plusieurs furent des portugais. Elle disposait de ressources abondantes, certaines attribuées au maître de la chambre aux deniers pour le fonctionnement de son hôtel, d'autres étant des fonds propres provenant de ses domaines en Flandre, Artois et Bourgogne, de dons et d'aides votées par les états. Son hôtel, dont plus de quatre cents personnes ont été identifiées, formait un milieu protégé d'hommes et de femmes, de nobles et de roturiers, qui partageaient sa vie itinérante, essentiellement aux Pays-Bas. La stabilité de l'emploi y était remarquable. La duchesse a été associée par le duc au gouvernement de l'état et, en son absence, disposait de complètes délégations de pouvoir. Elle a montré une grande compétence dans la gestion des finances et a joué un role diplomatique important dans les relations de la Bourgogne avec l'Angleterre et la France. Son hôtel a été dissous à sa demande en 1455 et, en 1457, elle s'est retirée de la cour pour vivre dans la charité et encourager les formes nouvelles de vie religieuse, mais elle revint à la vie publique pendant les premières années (1467-1471) du règne de Charles le TéméraireIsabel of Portugal, became in 1430 wife of Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy, has exercised her authority and her protection on a large family compound of her son Charles, bastards of the duke, cousins, nepews and nieces, some of whom were portuguese. She had at one's disposal abundant resources, some attributed to the maitre de la chambre aux deniers for the functioning of her household, others own stocks coming from her domains in Flanders, Artois and Burgundy, gifts or taxes. Her household more four hundred persons of whom were identified constituted a protected environment of men and women, nobles and commoners, who shared her itinerant life, mainly in low countries. The stability of the employment was remarkable. The duchess was associated to the state government by the duke and, in his absence, was appointed to govern. She has showed a great competence in the financial administration and acted efficiently in the diplomatic relations of burgundy with england and France. According to her request her househould was broken-up in 1455 and in 1457 she retired out of the court to life in charity and to encourage the new forms of religious life, but she came back to the public life during the first years (1467-1471) of the reign of Charles the Bold

This thesis examines the rhetorical and opportunistic strategies used by the Duchess of Châtillon, a seventeenth-century female aristocrat, to negotiate both the political and the diplomatic spheres of Louis XIV’s court. This work is based on her correspondence, most of which still remains unpublished. The analysis of these strategies reveals that it was possible for some women, through the use of informal means, to have influence in the male-dominated political arena.

Full textAbstract:
Conscient de la désaffection de son lectorat qui lui reproche l’épuisement de son inspiration, Crébillon publie en 1768 Les Lettres de la Duchesse : revendiquer ouvertement comme « modèles » La Princesse de Clèves et sa première monodie, les Lettres de la Marquise, montre sa volonté de se démarquer de l’esthétique romanesque mise en vogue par Richardson et Rousseau. L’originalité toute relative de la poétique de ce roman épistolaire consiste à faire de la matière des lettres les seuls « événements » du roman, à estomper les topoï du roman libertin, à faire exister le libertinage seulement par les mots. Distancié et volontiers critique, le regard de Crébillon sur l’aristocratie et ses comportements libertins se double d’une réflexion sur la notion de vertu, sur les évolutions de l’idéologie sociale et témoigne, contre toute attente, des expériences et déceptions personnellesWhen Crébillon became aware that his readers resented his waning inspiration and gradually lost interest in his work, he published Les Lettres de la Duchesse in 1768. By openly claiming the legacy of La Princesse de Clèves and its first monody Les Lettres de la Marquise, he showed how intent he was on casting the shackles of novel aesthetics made fashionable by Richardson and Rousseau. What appears as comparatively new about the poetics of this epistolary novel, however flimsy it may be, is Crébillon’s skill in limiting the « events » in the novel to the matter of the letters, in blurring the topoï of the libertine novel, and making its libertinage exist only through words. Crébillon does not limit himself to casting a distanced and readily critical eye on aristocrats and their licentiousness but he also ponders over the notion of virtue and the developments of social ideology and he quite unexpectedly relates personal and disappointing experiences

Cette etude a ete menee dans le but de rechercher l'eventuelle existence d'un mecenat exerce par anne de france, fille de louis xi, et duchesse de bourbonnais. Par l'analyse des sources, des textes anciens retrouves, des documents iconographiques, et des oeuvres elles-memes, on a pu etudier dans les divers domaines artistiques, les realisations patronnees par la duchesse : soit en architecture civile et religieuse, les chateaux, eglises et chapelles edifies ou agrandis dans le duche. Puis, en sculpture, les oeuvres temoignant de l'art de michel colombe et de jean de chartres ; en peinture, celles de l'artiste le plus prestigieux de l'epoque, le maitre de moulins. Les interets litteraires et les choix de bibliophile d'anne de france ont ete ensuite envisages. Dans la mesure ou les sources le permettaient, nous avons termine par l'etude des artistes et artisans concernes. La conclusion constate l'ampleur de l'oeuvre realisee en un laps de temps assez bref et met en evidence ses caracteres. Malgre les incertitudes liees a la rarete et au laconisme des sources semble apparaitre une cour de moulins brillante, centre d'art actif, autour de la duchesse, dernier grand mecene feodalThe present research was undertaken in order to trace the possible existence of a patronage of anne of france, the duchess of bourbonnais and daughter of louis xi. By looking into sources, ancients texts that were discovered, iconography and the works themselves, we have been able to study the activity engaged in by the duchess in various fields such as civilian and religious architecture : castles, churches and chapels built in the duchy ; stained-glass windows from the end of the 15th till the beginning of the 16th century ; carved work attesting the art of michel colombe or jean of chartres ; paintings with the pre-eminent figure of the most prestigious artist of the time, the master of moulins. The literary interests shown by anne and her enrichment of the ducal library are also dealt with ; decorative arts are mentioned. Finally the artists and craftsmen themselves are studied. As a conclusion we emphasize the importance of the work that was done in a fairly short time and we bring out its characteristics. Though there remains some uncertainties owing to the sources being scarece and scant, we can saw that there appears at moulins a brillant court which is an active arts centre

A abóbora (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) possui grande potencial para utilização de suas sementes como fonte de óleo, com excelente qualidade nutricional. Uma grande dificuldade em aumentar a produtividade de óleo em abóbora é o seu hábito de crescimento, que em geral é indeterminado com caules rastejantes que atingem grandes distâncias, a partir da coroa central o que impede maiores adensamentos de plantio, proporcionando reduzida quantidade de plantas por área. No entanto, alguns genótipos apresentam hábito reduzido, os quais possuem entrenós mais curtos, que possibilitaria aumento da densidade e, consequentemente, maior produtividade de sementes e óleo por área. Dessa forma, a transferência de alelos que confere essa redução do entrenó para genótipos com alto teor de óleo possibilitaria maior produtividade de semente por área, consequentemente de óleo. Para aumentar a eficiência desse processo é necessário o entendimento da herança desse hábito, assim como dos descritores relacionados. Diante disso, o objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar o controle genético de descritores morfoagronômicos e relacionados ao porte, visando reduzir o comprimento do entrenó e aumentar a produção de sementes e óleo em C. moshata. Para isso foi realizada análise de gerações, que permite avaliar simultaneamente várias gerações ou populações, incluindo genitores (P1 e P2 ), híbridos (F1 ) e gerações segregantes F 2 , além das derivadas de retrocruzamentos. O genitor P 1 é o acesso BGH 7319 pertencente ao Banco de Germoplasma de Hortaliças da Universidade Federal de Viçosa (BGH-UFV), acesso considerado promissor para produção de óleo funcional. O genitor P 2 é o cultivar Tronco Verde que possui o gene que confere a redução do entrenó, em homozigose. Foram avaliados 17 descritores relacionados ao porte, quatro ao florescimento, 11 aos frutos, sete as sementes e três de produção, totalizando 42 descritores. Todas as características avaliadas foram submetidas à análise de geração, em que foram estimadas as médias e variâncias aditivas, desvios da dominância, fenotípica, genética e ambiental. Para o modelo aditivo dominante, foram estimados os efeitos aditivos, dominantes e da média. Para o modelo completo foram estimados os efeitos das médias de todos os possíveis homozigotos, aditivos, dominantes e epistáticos: aditivo x aditivo, aditivo x dominante e dominante x dominante. Além disso, foram utilizados estimadores de máxima verossimilhança para determinar qual o melhor modelo genético em explicar as características de comprimento médio do entrenó antes e após o florescimento. O modelo aditivo dominante foi adequado para explicar 22 dos 42 descritores avaliados (52,42%). Para este modelo, o desvio de dominância foi significativo para 17 (77,27%) e para aqueles explicados pelo modelo completo foi significativo para 15 (75,00%), demonstrando sua grande influência no controle de tais descritores. Com a utilização de estimadores de máxima verossimilhança o modelo mais adequado para explicar o comprimento médio do entrenó antes do florescimento foi aquele que considera o gene de efeito maior com efeitos aditivos e de dominância mais poligenes de efeitos aditivos e de dominância sob influência do ambiente. Para o comprimento médio do entrenó após o florescimento o modelo mais adequando é aquele que considera apenas poligenes de efeitos aditivos mais efeitos ambientais.
The pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) has a great potential to be used as an oil source, which one has a high nutritional quality. Despite of that, there is a great difficult to increase the pumpkin oil production, related to type of plant pumpkin growth. The main features of pumpkin plant are undetermined growth, crawling stems which generally reach great distances from the central growth. As a result, occurs the inhibition of planting density and a less amount of pumpkin can be planting by area. As a possible solution, there is some genotypes of pumpkin which have a reduced habit growth and shorter internodes, providing a possibility to increase the planting density and consequently, higher seed and oil yields per area. This manner, the transference of these alleles, responsible by reduction of internodes of the training to genotypes with high oil content would allow higher seed productivity per area, consequently of oil. To increase the efficiency the allele transference process, it is necessary to understand the inheritance of this habit of plant growth, as well as related descriptors. Therefore, this research aimed to study the genetic control of morphoagronomic descriptors related to plant size, providing manner to reduce the length of internodes and increase the pumpkin seed and oil production in C. moshata. To undertake this research it was performed a generational analysis allowing the simultaneous evaluation of various generations or populations, including parents (P1 and P2 ), hybrids (F1 ), segregating generations F2 and those derived from backcrossing. The P 1 parent is the BGH 7319 access belonging to the Vegetable Germplasm Bank of the Federal University of Viçosa (BGH-UFV), an access considered promising to the production of functional oil. The P 2 parent is the Tronco Verde, cultivar that possesses the gene that confers the reduction of the internodes, in homozygous. Seventeen descriptors related to plant size, four to flowering, 11 to fruits, seven seeds and three of production were evaluated, totalizing 42 descriptors. All evaluated characteristics were submitted to the generation analysis, in which were estimated the means and additive, dominance deviations, phenotypic, genetic and environmental variances. To the dominant additive model were estimated the additive, dominant and means effects. In the complete model were estimated the effects of the means, additive, dominant, epistatic and of all possible homozygotes. In addition, maximum likelihood estimators were used to determine the best genetic model to explain the characteristics of length internode before and after flowering. The dominant additive model was adequate to explain 22 of the 42 descriptors evaluated (52.42%). To this model, the dominance deviation was significant for 17 (77.27%) and for those explained by the complete model it was significant for 15 (75.00%), demonstrating its great influence in the control of such descriptors. With the use of maximum likelihood estimators, the most adequate model to explain the length internode average before flowering was that considered the major effect gene with additive and dominance effects plus polygenes of additive effects and dominance, under influence of the environment. For the average length of the internodes after flowering the most suitable model is that considered only polygenes of additive effects plus environmental effects.

An examination of sociolinguistic factors and of the conditions of enunciation shows that the language of these letters follows the highest standard of the day, although there are traces of spoken language. Evidence of this is found in the fact that there are numerous instances of interference from the French, while German regionalisms occur more rarely. The influence of spoken language is clear from the wealth of features of enunciation, which give the language its efficacy. A detailed description of connectors as well as the order of occurrence of verbal and non-verbal elements in the sentence allows us to characterize the present corpus as representative of the state of German in the early years of the 18th century, immediately before the language assumed its present form, new High German

Why is the pregnant body constructed as a secret to cover up and to uncover in the early modern period, and why, in Webster’s Duchess of Malfi, do apricots uncover this secret? This thesis addresses the odd moment from Webster’s play when the Duchess’s brothers uncover her secret pregnancy by feeding her grafted apricots, causing her premature labour. By examining early modern obstetrical texts, this thesis argues that early modern patriarchal culture appropriated the secrets of the female body in order to control women. In keeping her pregnancy a secret, the Duchess unwittingly produces her brothers’ desire to penetrate that secret. In order to do so, her brothers – particularly Ferdinand – feed her apricots, metaphorically transforming her body into a fruit tree. Early modern botanical texts show that the Duchess’s botanical body legitimates her brothers’ desire to control her. While apricots were not used as a pregnancy test according to early modern obstetrical texts, they could cause premature labour. This thesis sheds new light on the question of incest in Webster’s play, arguing the centrality of a phallic pun that appears in early versions of the play – “apricot” was “apricock.” This pun highlights the penetrative characteristics of the fruit, adding to the evidence of Ferdinand’s incestuous desire: his grafted apricocks penetrate the Duchess’s body and produce (figuratively, at least) her apricock child. Early in the play, Ferdinand is described as a plum tree, and this thesis finds – in the early modern gardening manuals – that apricot trees were most often grafted to plum trees in order to produce fruit. The fruit of the Duchess’s womb, revealed by her brother’s grafted apricocks, is figuratively the fruit of the apricot tree – the Duchess – and the plum tree – her brother Ferdinand.

Full textAbstract:
L'œuvre de mémorialiste de la Grande Mademoiselle (1627-1693) demeure relativement méconnue. Notre étude propose d'abord, au vu des manuscrits, les principes d'une édition corrigée de ces mémoires, à la suite du travail de Chéruel (1858). Elle s'attache ensuite à saisir l'originalité d'un premier projet mémorialistique (1652), tributaire d'une culture et d'une histoire personnelle mouvementée ; le récit s'inscrit dans la tradition des mémoires aristocratiques, mais l'étroitesse du champ narratif, la présence constante du modèle romanesque, de l'éthique glorieuse, l'orientent vers l'autobiographie. Avec la deuxième phase de rédaction (1676), les mémoires évoluent profondément : au "je" héroïque des débuts, largement rêvé, se substitue un "je" souffrant, dans un double mouvement de dépouillement et d'intériorisation. La gloire des débuts de métamorphose en une exigeante éthique de la sincérité, tandis qu'un romanesque sombre et désenchanté (avec l'épisode de Lauzun) berce le souvenir. Une troisième période de rédaction (1689) manifeste un ultime sursaut de vitalité face aux disgrâces de l'existence. Tour à tour, des chapitres sont consacrés aux thèmes romanesques des mémoires, au sentiment de la gloire et à son évolution au cours de l'œuvre, au naturel princier qui se propose à nous, à la vérité de l'ensemble, vérité historique et surtout vérité d'un portrait. Au total, les mémoires, autoportrait recommence sur près de quarante années, constituent une autobiographie dans le temps. Ils restituent le complexe de culture, de valeurs, de codes sociaux de la génération des "glorieux" ; ils nous font plus encore participer, avec leur auteur, a la lente et contradictoire recherche de sa vérité. Nous y voyons un jalon peu connu dans l'histoire d'un genre à ses débuts, l'autobiographieThe achievement of the Grande Mademoiselle (1627-1693) as a writer of memoirs remains relatively unrecognized. Our study begins by offering some guidelines for a revised edition of the memoires, based on an examination of the manuscripts, and following on the work of Chéruel (1858). It then goes on the attempt to bring out the originality of a first draft of memoirs (1652) that is nourished both by a cultural tradition and the personal experience of a very eventful life. The style of narration adopted by mademoiselle belongs to the tradition of aristocratic memoirs, but the narrowness of the narrative field, the constant recurrence of elements of romance, and the pervading presence of the ethic of "gloire" make it tend toward autobiography. With the second phase of writing (1676), the memoires have undergone a profound evolution, the heroic "I" of the early work largely a product of the author's imagination, giving way to an "I" capable of suffering, as the memoirs stripped of ornament, turn inwards. A somber sense of disillusionment pervades the account of her love for Lauzun, while the earlier cult of "gloire" is now superseded by a demanding ethic of sincerity. A third period of writing (1689) bears witness to a final burst of vitality in the face of life's hardships and reversals. Chapters are devoted in succession to the romanticized themes in the memoires, to the sentiment of "gloire" and its evolution throughout the work, to the nobility of temperament that we can clearly discern in the writer and to the content of truth in the work as a whole, not only in historical terms but primarily in terms of a veracious self-portrait. All in all, as a self-portrait reworked over a period of almost forty years, the memoires emerge as an autobiography evolving in time. They reconstruct the complex of cultural

Os objetivos deste estudo foram: avaliar a fauna de polinizadores potenciais do morangueiro em campos de produçaõ comercial; verificar a contribuição de diversos agentes de polinização na produtividade do morangueiro, conhecendo a biologia floral e reprodutiva dos cultivares mais utilizados para o plantio; testar, em cultivo fechado (estufa), diversas espécies de Meliponini (abelhas sem ferrão)como polinizador do morangueiro, avaliando a sua adaptação ao cultivo e sua efetividade nesta cultura. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que as flores do dos cultivares "Sweet Charlie" e "Oso Grande" necessitam de um polinizador para a produção de frutos sem deformação pois a morfologia de suas flores e o amadurecimento de suas estruturas reprodutivas não favorecem a ocorrência da autopolinização, nem a distribuição homogênea do pólen pelos estigmas da flor, resultando em frutos deformados que não alcançam o seu potencial máximo de desenvolvimento. A abelha jataí (Tetragonisca angustula) adaptou-se bem ás condições do cultivo fechado (estufa) e mostrou-se efetiva na polinização do morangueiro, resultando em frutos mais pesados e em uma porcentagem mais elevada de frutos bem formados.The aims of this study were: to investigate potencial pollinators of strawberry crops in commercial fields; to verify the contribution of several pollination agents on strawberry productivity, studying the floral and reproductive biology of some commercial cultivars; to evaluate the possibility of the rational use of stingless bees in strawberry pollination inside greenhouses. The results showed that the floral morphology of "Sweet Charlie" and Oso Grande" cultivars and the maturation pattern of their stamens and pistils nor favour the occurrence of self pollination neither the regular pollen distribuction among stigmata, yielding deformed fruits that don´t complete their development. Therefore these cultivars need pollinators to commercial production. Tetragonisca angustula (Apinae, Meliponini)was remarkable for its relatively quick adaptation inside greenhouses and for its effectivity as strawberry pollinator, resulting in heavier berries and high percentage of marketable fruits.

Full textAbstract:
L’historiographie récente a souvent considéré la politique artistique de Christine de France, duchesse et régente de Savoie (1619-1663), fille de Marie de Médicis et de Henri IV, comme déterminante pour maintenir la stabilité du duché au moment critique où les petits États européens périclitent. Or, cette vision d’un État intermédiaire survivant aux conquérants environnants (France, Espagne) par l’habile politique de prestige de « Madame Royale » est à renouveler. Au décès de son époux Victor-Amédée Ier de Savoie elle assure la régence de ses fils, statut qui lui est immédiatement contesté par ses beaux-frères les princes de Carignan, plongeant le duché dans la guerre civile (1638-1642). Le grand dessein de Christine fut de porter ses ambitions royales comme celles de la maison de Savoie, mais le terreau sur lequel elle a semé fut en grande partie celui de ses prédécesseurs ayant déjà posé les marqueurs de l’identité culturelle dynastique. Dans leur sillage, elle fut la mécène de la "comittenza" monumentale, à l’éclat immédiat relayé par la gravure : doter l’urbanisme de Turin et sa « Couronne de délices » de dimensions auliques, offrant les cadres prestigieux d’entrées solennelles et de fêtes de cour impressionnantes ; s’auréoler d’alliances illustres ; diffuser une image gravée prestigieuse du duché. En revanche, son rapport aux arts présente des inégalités, la peinture ou la sculpture n’innervant pas ses actions et encore moins ses appétences personnelles : Madame Royale n’a pas embrassé l’esprit de l’« Honnête Femme » de la République des Lettres alors qu’elle fut en politique une « Femme Forte », au service de sa dynastie. Sa longue régence n’ayant rien d’un statu quo a permis une stabilisation salvatrice de l’État, dans une alliance avec la France qui, loin d’être une subordination, a eu pour effet d’en assurer l’indépendance relative. Quant à ses propres représentations, elle utilise au début de son règne l’imagerie régalienne dans ses portraits pour ensuite changer de cap dans son âge mûr physique comme politique : à partir de sa régence jusqu’à la passation effective de pouvoir à son fils Charles-Emmanuel II, elle choisit une définition d’elle-même plus authentique et plus empreinte de dévotionRecent historiography has often considered the artistic policy of Christine de France, duchess and regent of Savoy (1619-1663), daughter of Marie de’ Medici and Henri IV, as decisive in maintaining the stability of the duchy at a critical time when small European states collapsed. However, this vision of an intermediate State surviving the surrounding conquerors (France, Spain) through the skilful artistic policy of « Madame Royale » needs to be revisited. Upon the death of her husband Victor-Amédée I of Savoy, she assumed the regency of her sons, a status which was immediately challenged by her brothers-in-law, princes of Carignan, plunging the duchy into civil war (1638-1642). Christine’s great vision was to carry her royal ambitions as well as those of the House of Savoy, but the soil on which she sowed was largely that of her predecessors who had already laid the markers of the dynastic cultural identity. In their wake, she was the patron of the monumental comittenza, with immediate brilliance relayed by engraving : to endow the town planning of Turin and its « Corona di delizie » of aulic dimensions, offering the prestigious frames of solemn entrances and impressive court festivities ; to be proud of illustrious alliances ; to spread over a prestigious engraved image of the duchy. On the other hand, her relationship with arts shows inequalities, painting or sculpture not innervating her actions and even less her personal appetites : Madame Royale did not embrace the spirit of the « Honnête Femme » of the Republic of Letters while she was in politics a « Femme Forte » at the service of her dynasty. Her long regency, which had nothing to do with the status quo, allowed a salutary stabilization of the State, in an alliance with France which, far from being a subordination, had the effect of ensuring its relative independence. As for her own representations, at the beginning of her reign she used royal imagery in her portraits and then changed course in her mature physical and political age : from her regency to the actual transfer of power to her son Charles-Emmanuel II, she chose a more authentic and devotional definition of herself

Full textAbstract:
C'est en France, plus particulièrement aux XIVe et XV siècles chez les Valois, que le mécénat princier connut un âge d'or. Jean de Berry, frère du roi Charles V, fut certainement un de ceux qui illustra ce phénomène avec le plus de faste. L'historiographie brossa par contre un tout autre portrait de son neveu, Jean sans Peur, en faisant de lui un fin politique, parfois manipulateur, loin du prince cultivé amateur d'art. Et pourtant, nous devons au mécénat du duc de Bourgogne quelques unes des plus belles réalisations artistiques de l'époque. La qualité des sources conservées, en particulier des inventaires après décès, nous ont permis de reconstituer les collections de manuscrits, tapisseries, peintures, pièces d'orfèvrerie et œuvres sculptées en possession de Jean sans Peur et de Marguerite de Bavière au moment de leur décès. Ce travail permet ainsi de mesurer la qualité de leur mécénat artistique jusqu'alors méconnu. Il en ressort en outre que l'œuvre d'art n'avait pas qu'une valeur esthétique mais aussi une réelle fonction politique en tant qu'outil de propagande notamment. La dernière fonction de l'art était évidemment économique puisque le mécénat du duc et de la duchesse de Bourgogne permettait de faire vivre un nombre assez important d'artisans, système que nous avons mis en lumière. Les différents points de cette recherche visent enfin à réhabiliter le rôle de la femme dans le mécénat princier à l'époque médiévale, en proposant une étude à part entière des collections de Marguerite de BavièreIn France, especially in the XIVth and XVth centuries with the Valois, the patronage knew a golden age. John of Berry, the brother of the king Charles V, was certainly one of those who illustrated this fact with the most splendour. On the contrary, the past historical studies brought us a very different portrait of his nephew, John the Fearless, who was depicted as a wise politician, sometimes a manipulator and was far from the cultivated prince who love art. Nevertheless, the artistic patronage of the duke of Borgondy gave us some of the most beautiful pieces of art from this time. Thanks to the quality of the remaining sources, in particular the inventories after the death, we have reconstructed the collections of manuscripts, paintings, tapestries, goldsmith artefacts and sculptures which were owned by John the Fearless and Margaret of Bavaria at the time of their death. So this work allows us to measure the quality of their artistic patronage until then underestimated. Moreover, we realize that the art was not only aesthetic but had also a real political function. The last role played by art was obviously economic because the artistic patronage of the duke and the duchess of Burgondy made it possible for quite numerous artists to survive, a system that we have stressed before. The avrious points of this research finally aim to rehabilitating the role of the woman in the artistic patronage of the Middle Ages by proposing a separate study of the collections or Margaret of Bavaria

Full textAbstract:
Cette biographie présente l'historien des six premiers siècles de l'Église que fut MGR Louis Duchesne (1843-1922). Chez lui, en effet, l'homme est inséparable de l'historien, même si l'historien n'épuise pas l'homme. Après avoir évoqué ses années de formation (École Saint-Charles de Saint-Brieuc Collège romain, École des Carmes, École pratique des hautes études), l'auteur distingue deux phases essentielles dans l’exercice de ses différentes fonctions : jusqu'en 1895, une phase française marquée par l'enseignement à l'Institut catholique de Paris et à l'École pratique des hautes études ; à partir de 1895, une phase romaine durant laquelle la position de Duchesne à la tête de l'École française de Rome l'amène à de multiples contacts, avec les milieux archéologiques étrangers aussi bien qu'avec la Rome du Quirinal ou la Rome pontificale. L’ouvrage met en lumière ce qui fait l'unité de la vie de Duchesne : historien de l'Église, il est aussi prêtre fidèle à l'Église. Son travail historique, né de la pauvreté des sciences ecclésiastiques, est marqué par son souci d'appliquer à l'histoire de l'Église les sciences auxiliaires de l'histoire qui se sont développées au XIXème siècle. Lui-même découvre l'histoire au contact de l'archéologie chrétienne et acquiert une formation centrée essentiellement sur la philologie, qui lui permet véritablement, à partir du Liber pontificalis, de donner droit de citer a l'histoire de l'Église dans les milieux scientifiques. Mais, influence par le milieu ambiant dans son souci de se "borner à l'étude des faits", il n'a pas toujours intégré à son étude historique la référence spirituelle qui les marque et n'a pas réussi pleinement à éviter une certaine juxtaposition entre sa rigueur scientifique et sa foi personnelle. Néanmoins, malgré les accusations qui furent portées contre lui, Duchesne resta jusqu'au bout un prêtre fidèle, d'une grande foi dans l'Église (même s'il souligne d'une manière parfois véhémente les faiblesses de son personnel), et d'une piété solide dont témoignent la plupart de ses proches, même incroyantsIt is as the historian of the first six centuries of the church that this biography portrays MGR Louis Duchesne (1843-1922). With him, in truth, the man is inseparable from the historian, even if the historian is not all there was of the man. After recounting the years of his education (Ecole Saint-Charles de Saint-Brieuc, College Romain, Ecole des Carmes, Ecole pratique des hautes etudes), the author treats the distinction between two principal phases in the discharge of his different duties ; up to 1895, a French period in which he taught at the "Institut Catholique" in Paris and at the "Ecole pratique des hautes etudes" ; after 1895, a roman period during which Duchesne’s position as head of the "Ecole francaise de Rome" brought him into many contacts with the foreign archeological community as well as with the Quiririnal Rome and the Vatican. This book illuminates what made a unity of Duchesne's life: historian of the church, he was at the same time a priest faithful to the church. His historical work, born out of the poverty ecclesiastical science, is marked by his concern to bring to the history of the church the scientific historical tools which developed in the 19th century. He himself discovered history in connection with Christian archeology and acquired a training focused essentially on philology, which allowed him, beginning with his Liber pontificalis, to win recognition of church history as an element of scientific historical study. However, under the influence of the climate of the times in his concern to "confine himself to the facts", he did not always integrate in his historical work the spiritual aspects which mark them and was not wholly successful in relating scientific rigor and his personal faith. Nevertheless, in spite of accusations brought against him, Duchesne remained to the end a loyal priest, with a deep faith in the church (even as he emphasized, at times vehemently, the weaknesses of its personnel) and a thoroughgoing piety to which his friends -even the non-believers among them- bore witness

Full textAbstract:
Les « Recherches sur la femme et son rôle au sein de la haute noblesse espagnole (XVIe-XVIIe siècles). L’exemple d’Ana de Silva y Mendoza, VIIe duchesse de Medina Sidonia » s’insèrent dans le cadre de l’histoire générique et visent à récupérer la mémoire de ces femmes qui, à l’époque moderne en Espagne, quels qu’aient été leur position dans la hiérarchie sociale et leur statut familial, demeurent oubliées. C’est le cas des femmes titulaires de Medina Sidonia et de Niebla dont l’histoire n’a pas même retenu les noms. La VIIe duchesse consort de Medina Sidonia, doña Ana de Silva y de Mendoza (1560-1610), fille ainée des princes d’Eboli, est pourtant l’archétype remarquable d’une aristocrate puissante, forte et consciente de son rang en Basse Andalousie aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Grâce à une étude prosopographique menée autour d'elle et de trois générations féminines du clan des Medina Sidonia : la IXe comtesse de Niebla, les VIIe et VIIIe duchesses de Medina Sidonia, on s’attachera à décrire le statut juridique, social, économique et politique d’aristocrates à valeur d’exemples. Celui, en particulier, de l’épouse du VIIe duc, don Alonso Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno, responsable de l’Invincible Armada, permettra d’appréhender les sphères d’influence dévolues à ces femmes ainsi que leur vie quotidienne sur les terres de leurs époux. A travers l’étude de la correspondance de ces femmes mais également, d’actes notariés, de livres de comptes et de quelques documents iconographiques issus de différents centres d’archives espagnols (Archivo General de la Fundación Casa Medina Sidonia principalement mais également Archivo General de Simancas, Archivo de Protocolos de Madrid ou Archivo Histórico Nacional sección Nobleza) on participera à la connaissance de l’histoire des femmes à l’époque moderne. On sera alors en mesure de comprendre les stratégies entourant le mécénat artistique et religieux d’une aristocrate, son implication dans la vie économique locale et son rôle essentiel à la fois dans la gestion de la Maison aristocratique et dans l’établissement de liens diplomatiques au sein de l’espace curial de Philippe II et Philippe III. La vie de femmes de la plus haute noblesse espagnole à Séville et surtout à Sanlúcar de Barrameda, chef lieu des territoires ducaux, permettra d’apporter une vision novatrice de la culture andalouse moderne et du dynamisme économique du port de Sanlúcar de Barrameda, longtemps sous-estimé et pourtant véritable porte d’accès de l’AmériqueAna de Silva y Mendoza (1561-1610), the oldest daughter of prince of Éboli Ruy Gómez de Silva and Ana de Mendoza y de la Cerda, marries at a very young age, the VIIth duke of Medina Sidonia, Alonso Pérez de Guzmán el Bueno. The active and influential female nobiliary figure in Lower Andalusia, is the subject of this case study. The analysis of her different roles within the Guzmán, the family, the domestic economy in the Sanlúcar’s palace and the duchy, makes possible the comprehension of the real autonomy of a Castilian woman. Different issues that take into account social, economic and politic aspects are examined in this study of a prestigious union of marriage during the reigns of Philip II and Philip III. This example reveals how the wife of one of the most important nobles of Castile takes part in the expression of the lineage’s power by her politic and social actions

Full textAbstract:
This study of the way in which the "image" of Mary of Modena was constructed, and then deconstructed, examines the changing ways in which this late seventeenth-century Italian Catholic aristocrat was represented, both visually in portraits,prints and engravings, and textually in verse and prose, opera, masque and pamphlet plays, after her arrival in England in 1673 as the wife of James, Duke of York (later James II). The images and texts are placed within the cultural context of the age: contemporary artists, writers, patronage, conventions and expectations, including those relating to women, are discussed. The focus of the first chapter is James's first wife, Anne Hyde. A comparison of the manner in which these two women, both Catholic, were represented, one coming from an ancient and noble foreign house,the other from an undistinguished country family, is instructive. The next four chapters examine the themes of "beauty", her "otherness", her patronage of music, artists and writers, and her court, during the years 1673 to 1685 when Mary of Modena was Duchess of York. The contrast between the portraits, music and poetry produced at the time of James II's coronation in 1685 and the representations produced as part of the adverse propaganda campaign waged by James's son-in-law, William of Orange which culminated in the "warming pan scandal" after the birth of Mary of Modena's son ("The Old Pretender"), and led to the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688 are the subject of chapters 6 and 7. The final chapters how show Mary of Modena was represented during her exile in France from 1689 until her death there in 1718.

The Cucurbita maxima (Duchesne) is a vegetable crop plant cultivated and maintaned by traditional communities. Although Brazil is considered a center of diversity of pumpkins and squash, there is few knowledge about the germplasm maintained by family farming in the Amazon. The situation is worsened by the possibility of disappearance of local populations of this specie, taking into account the today changes promoted in family farming. The aim of this study was to describe and characterize the current forms of management and the genetic resource conservation process of the vegetable known as regional pumpkin (C. maxima) by family farmers of lowland ecosystem in the regions of Solimões River, Amazon. The specific objectives were to identify the areas of occurrence of regional pumpkin conservation practice by family farmers and techniques and management of the species and its implications for the conservation of genetic diversity and evolution of the species; estimate current levels of genetic variability between and within local cultivars through estimation techniques of genetic parameters and use of molecular markers; and estimate the levels of adaptability and phenotypic stability of local cultivars of C. maxima. The first chapter referred to the conservation of genetic resources in situ regional pumpkin (C. maxima) by farmers in the Central Western Amazon. The study used qualitative methods with application of structured interviews and visit to the planting area. The second chapter investigated the genetic variability in local cultivars of regional pumpkin kept by floodplain farmers of the Central Western Amazon. Estimation techniques were applied genetic parameters from field testing, characterization of the qualitative and quantitative morphoagronomic descriptors, the evaluation of index of lost of sanity and index of virus occurrence. To study the variability by molecular analysis we used the technique of molecular marker Amplified of Fragment Length Polymorphism - AFLP. The third chapter has a study about estimation of adaptability and phenotypic stability parameters in local cultivars of regional pumpkin. This study showed that family farming is responsible for the conservation of regional pumpkin (C. maxima) in the floodplains of the Central West Amazonian. It was concluded that the management forms adopted by family farmers to keep the identities of local cultivars is efficient and by other side the sample obtained within local varieties is more efficient when confronted with samples obtained between local cultivars. Local cultivars grown and maintained by family farmers have genetic adaptability levels and phenotypic stability consistent as those presented by commercial cultivar “Xingo Jacarezinho”
A espécie Cucurbita maxima Duchesne é uma hortaliça cultivada e mantida pela agricultura familiar. Embora o Brasil seja considerado um centro de diversidade de abóboras e morangas, há pouco conhecimento sobre o germoplasma mantido por populações tradicionais da Amazônia. A situação é agravada pela possibilidade de desaparecimento das populações locais desta espécie, tendo em conta, as atuais mudanças promovidas na agricultura familiar. O objetivo geral foi descrever e caracterizar as formas atuais de manejo e o processo de conservação de recursos genéticos da hortaliça denominada regionalmente jerimum caboclo (C. maxima) pelos agricultores familiares do ecossistema de várzea das regiões do Alto e Baixo Solimões, no Estado do Amazonas. Os objetivos específicos foram: identificar as áreas de ocorrência de unidades de agricultores familiares com prática de conservação do jerimum caboclo e técnicas de cultivo e manejo da espécie e suas implicações na conservação da variabilidade genética e evolução da espécie; estimar os níveis atuais da variabilidade genética das cultivares locais, por meio das técnicas de estimativas de parâmetros genéticos e uso de marcadores moleculares (Polimorfismo de Comprimento de Fragmentos Amplificados – AFLP); e estimar os níveis de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípica das cultivares locais de C. maxima. O primeiro capítulo refere-se à conservação dos recursos genéticos in situ de abóboras regionais pelos agricultores na Amazônia Centro-Ocidental. O estudo utilizou métodos qualitativos com aplicação de entrevistas estruturadas, diário de campo e visita à área de plantio. O segundo capítulo investigou a variabilidade genética em cultivares locais de abóbora regionais mantidos pelos agricultores de várzea da Amazônia Centro-Ocidental. Técnicas de estimação de parâmetros genéticos foram aplicadas, ensaios de campo para caracterização dos descritores morfoagronômicos quantitativos e qualitativos, avaliação do Índice de Perda de Sanidade e Índice de Ocorrência de Vírus. Para estudar a variabilidade por análise molecular foi utilizada a técnica de marcador molecular Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism - AFLP. O terceiro capítulo é um estudo sobre a estimativa dos parâmetros de adaptabilidade e estabilidade fenotípica em cultivares locais de abóbora regional. Este estudo mostrou que a agricultura familiar é responsável pela conservação das abóboras regionais (C. maxima) nas várzeas da Amazônia Centro-Ocidental. Concluiu-se que a análise conjunta dos resultados obtidos pelos métodos de estimação da variação genética por marcadores moleculares, caracteres morfoagronômicos e níveis de adaptabilidade genética e estabilidade fenotípica evidencia que as formas de cultivo e manejo adotados pelos agricultores familiares mantêm a identidades das cultivares locais e, ao mesmo tempo, os níveis de diversidade. Em acréscimo, a amostra obtida dentro de cultivares locais é mais eficiente quando confrontadas com amostras obtidas entre as cultivares locais. Cultivares locais cultivadas e mantidas por agricultores familiares têm níveis de adaptabilidade genética e estabilidade fenotípica consistentes como aqueles apresentados pela cultivar comercial Xingó Jacarezinho.

Full textAbstract:
Jeanne de Penthièvre (r. 1341–1365) inherited the duchy of Brittany, but was challenged by her collateral relatives in a lengthy civil war and ultimately defeated, though she remained politically active until her death. This thesis uses her career as a case study of the ways princely power was expressed and implemented in the fourteenth century, and includes a critical biography and an edition of the 1341 legal brief for her succession. It focuses especially on official records such as legal arguments, charters, orders, and seals, and incorporates the close reading of individual texts alongside broader linguistic and quantitative analyses. The high nobility of fourteenth-century France has been relatively underserved by this type of examination of the influences of rank, relationships, gender, and conflict within the focused context of an individual’s life, an approach which demonstrates the flexibility of non-royal political authority. Jeanne’s participation across different areas of government (such as finances, bureaucracy, warfare, and diplomacy) reveals a variable balance of power between Jeanne and her husband as spouses and as co-rulers. The terms used to establish her power in the official acta suggest further that simple descriptions of power often used in modern scholarship on noblewomen do not adequately characterize or explain late medieval views of these dynamics. The legal arguments advanced in defence of Jeanne’s claim to the duchy reveal disagreements about the technical relationship of the duke/duchess to the rest of Franco-Breton political society. Jeanne’s ability to assert her authority was particularly important in the contested circumstances of her rule, and her adherence to or deviation from contemporary expectations was important in establishing her legitimacy. Contemporary Breton and French chroniclers, particularly Froissart, complement this perspective with their reactions to her rule; Jeanne’s reputation was informed by the multilayered standards attached to her positions as heiress, wife, and duchess.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude de livre d'heures et de prières d'un ensemble familial précis, sous la facette de dépôts de la mémoire et de l'identité personnelle et lignagère est le but de cette thèse. Celle-ci se base sur l'analyse de trente livres à caractère religieux (livres d'heures et de prières principalement) qui appartinrent aux membres d'un même groupe familial étendu dans le temps (du XIVe au XVe siècle), à savoir l'entourage familial de Catherine de Clèves, duchesse de Gueldre (1417-1476). Ce groupe familial constitue, d'une part, une communauté lignagère, soutenue par de forts liens de parenté et d'autre part, une communauté dévotionnelle. Ces liens articulent l'identité ainsi que la culture de l'individu, s'insèrent et se projettent dans les livres d'heures, instruments privilégiés de la dévotion privée, qui en deviennent de véritables dépôts et véhicules de l'identité et de la mémoire de leur propriétaire. Notre étude s'organise en trois parties, cherchant d'abord la définition et la caractérisation de l'ensemble familial, auquel appartenait Catherine de Clèves, particulièrement marqué par l'influence de la maison de Bourgogne, passant, ensuite, par la définition du corpus de manuscrits, pour entrer, finalement, dans l'analyse des formes qui permettent de considérer le livre d'heures comme un locus d'identité et de mémoire (locus memoriae)The possibility to study Books of Hours and Prayer Books of a determined family group like deposits of memory and personal and lineage identity is the main goal of this thesis which is centered in the analisys of thirty books of religious carácter, being them mainly books of hours and prayer books, that belonged to members of the same family group extended through time (XIVth and XVth Centuries), that is to say, the family entourage of Catherine of Cleves, Duchess of Guelders (1417-1476). This family group is articulated as an ancestral community held by strong bonds of kinship as well as a devotional community. These bonds, that articulate the identity and the culture of the individual, are by different ways projected in the books of hours, a privileged instrument of private devotion. In this way, these ones, are constituted in actual deposits and vehicles of identity and the memory of their possessor. The present study is organized in three parts which progressively advance towards the definition and characterization of the family group to which belonged Catherine of Cleves, particularly marked by the influence of the House of Burgundy, passing through the definition of the corpus of manuscripts to enter, finally, in the analysis of the differents ways that permits to consider book of hours as a locus of identity and memory (locus memoriæ)

Full textAbstract:
Geologic mapping (1:24,000 scale) of the Ice Cave Peak quadrangle, Uintah and Duchesne Counties, Utah has produced a better understanding of the geologic structures present in the quadrangle and has increased our understanding of faulting in northeastern Utah. Map units in the quadrangle range in age from late Neoproterozoic to Quaternary and include good exposures of Paleozoic rocks (Mississippian to Permian), limited exposures of Mesozoic rocks, and good exposures of Tertiary strata (Duchesne River Formation and Bishop Conglomerate) deposited during uplift of the Uinta Mountains. Lower Mississippian strata along the south flank of the Uinta Mountains have typically been mapped as Madison Limestone. Our preliminary mapping suggested that the Madison could perhaps be subdivided into an upper unit equivalent to the Deseret Limestone, and a lower unit separated by a phosphatic interval equivalent to the Delle Phosphatic Member of the Deseret Limestone found farther west. Upon further investigation, we propose not extending the use of Deseret Limestone, with the equivalent to the Delle Phosphatic Member at its base, into the south-central Uinta Mountains. Microprobe analysis revealed no phosphorus in thin sections of this unit. Instead, the unit is composed almost entirely of calcite and dolomite. A zone of northwest-trending faults, called the Deep Creek fault zone, occurs mainly east of the Ice Cave Peak quadrangle. However, our mapping shows that this fault zone extends into the quadrangle. These faults are both strike-slip and normal/oblique faults as documented by mapping and kinematic indicators and cut the folded hanging-wall sedimentary rocks above the Uinta Basin-Mountain boundary thrust fault. These faults may be part of an en echelon fault system that is rooted in the Neoproterozoic and reactivated during Laramide deformation above a possible transfer zone between segments of the buried boundary thrust.

Full textAbstract:
Thin fallout tuffs in the Duchesne River Formation in the Uinta Basin, Utah are evidence that volcanism was active in northern Nevada and Utah in the late Eocene. The Uinta Basin is a sedimentary basin that formed during the Laramide orogeny. Ponded lakes of various salinity filled and emptied and during the late Eocene the northern rim was dominated by a wetland/floodplain depositional setting. Most of the tuffs have rhyolitic mineral assemblages including quartz, biotite, sanidine, and allanite. Rhyolitic glass shards were also found in one of the ash beds. Biotite compositions have Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios typical of calc-alkaline igneous rocks and clusters of biotite compositions suggest 3 or 4 volcanic events. Sanidine compositions from five samples grouped at Or73 and Or79. Only one sample had plagioclase with compositions ranging between An22 - An49. Some beds also contained accessory phases of titanite, apatite, and zircon. Whole rock compositions of the altered volcanic ash beds indicate these tuffs underwent post-emplacement argillic alteration, typical of a wetland/floodplain depositional setting. Immobile element ratios and abundances, such as Zr/Nb and Y are typical of a subduction zone tectonic setting and rhyolitic composition. 40Ar/39Ar ages constrain the timing of volcanism. One plagioclase and one sanidine separate from two different tuff beds yielded ages of 39.47 ± 0.16 Ma and 39.36± 0.15 Ma respectively. These dates, along with the compositional data seem to limit the eruptive source for these fallout tuffs to the northeast Nevada volcanic field. These new ages, along with previously published ages in the Bishop Conglomerate which unconformably overlies the Duchesne River Formation, constrain the timing of two uplift periods of the Uinta Mountains at 39 Ma and 34 Ma. Finally, the ages also date the fauna of the Duchesnean Land Mammal Age to be about 39.4 Ma as opposed to less precise earlier estimates that placed it between 42 and 33 Ma.

Full textAbstract:
Detailed mapping (1:24,000), measured sections, and clast counts in conglomerates of the Duchesne River Formation and Bishop Conglomerate in the Vernal NW quadrangle in northeastern Utah reveal the middle Cenozoic stratigraphic geometry, the uplift and unroofing history of the eastern Uinta Mountains, and give evidence for the pulsed termination of Laramide uplift. The Unita Mountains are an EW-trending reverse fault bounded and basement-cored, Laramide uplift. The oldest unit of the Duchesne River Formation, the Eocene Brennan Basin Member, contains 80-90% Paleozoic clasts and <20% Precambrian clasts. Proximal to the Uinta uplift the conglomerates of this member are dominated by Paleozoic Madison Limestone clasts (70-90% of all clasts). Farther out into the basin, Paleozoic clasts still dominate in Brennan Basin Member conglomerates, but chert clasts are more abundant (up to 43%) showing the efficiency of erosion of the carbonate clasts over a short distance (~5 km). Conglomerates in the progressively younger Dry Gulch Creek, Lapoint, and Starr Flat members show a significant upward increase in Precambrian clasts with 34-73% Uinta Mountain Group and 8-63% Madison Limestone. Duchesne River Formation has a significant increase in coarse-grained deposits from the southern parts of the quadrangle (20-50% coarse) to the northern parts (75% coarse) nearer the Uinta uplift. The lower part of the Duchesne River Formation exhibits a fining upward sequence representing a tectonic lull. Clast count patterns show that pebbly channel deposits in the south maintain similar compositions to their alluvial fan counterparts. To the north, the fine-grained Lapoint and Dry Gulch Creek members of the Duchesne River Formation appear to pinch out completely. This can be explained by erosion of these fine-grained deposits or by lateral facies shifts before deposition of the next unit. Starr Flat Member conglomerates were deposited above Lapoint Member siltstones and represent southward progradation of alluvial fans away from the uplifting mountain front. Similarities in composition and sedimentary structures have caused confusion surrounding the contact between the Starr Flat Member and the overlying Bishop Conglomerate. Within the Vernal NW quadrangle, we interpret this contact as an angular unconformity (the Gilbert Peak Erosion Surface) developed on the uppermost tilted red siltstone of the Starr Flat Member sometime after 37.9 Ma. Stratigraphic and structural relationships reveal important details about the development of a Laramide mountain range: 1) sequential unroofing sequences in the Duchesne River Formation, 2) progradation of alluvial fans to form the Starr Flat Member, 3) and the unconformable nature of the Gilbert Peak Erosion Surface lead to the conclusion that there were at least 3 distinct episodes of uplift during the deposition of these formations. The last uplift episode upwarped the Starr Flat Member constraining the termination of Laramide uplift in the Uinta Mountains to be after deposition of the Starr Flat Member and prior to deposition of the horizontal Bishop Conglomerate starting at about 34 Ma. This, combined with 40Ar/39Ar ages of 39.4 Ma from the Dry Gulch Creek and Lapoint member, show that slab rollback related volcanism was occurring to the west while the Uinta Mountains were being uplifted on Laramide faults. These new 40Ar/39Ar ages constrain the timing of deposition and clarify stratigraphic relationships within the Duchesne River Formation; they suggest a significant unconformity of as much as 4 m.y. between the Duchesne River Formation and the overlying Bishop Conglomerate, which is 34-30 Ma in age, and show that Laramide uplift continued after 40 Ma in this region.

Full textAbstract:
Host-plant resistance is an important component of integrated pest management. Host resistance to phytophagous insects and mites based on chemical and morphological characteristics has been identified in various agronomic crops. The present study was undertaken to examine how variation in selected morphological and chemical characteristics of beach strawberry Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Duchesne affects population parameters of the twospotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. The results from this study show that clones of F. chiloensis and the cultivar "Totem" vary in suitability for the twospotted spider mite. Selected clones of F. chiloensis and the cultivar "Totem" differed also in the following foliar characteristics: densities of glandular and nonglandular trichomes and concentrations of total and catechol-based phenolics. In contrast, qualitative analysis of phenolic compounds, determined via HPLC, revealed a close similarity between F. chiloensis and F. x ananassa (cultivated strawberry) and among selected clones of F. chiloensis.
Mite oviposition was negatively correlated with densities of glandular and nonglandular trichomes and concentrations of total foliar phenolics. In spite of these significant relationships, mite oviposition was best predicted by a combination of interacting plant characteristics rather than by any individual characteristic. Entrapment by sticky exudates from glandular trichomes appears to explain the negative relationship between mite survival and density of glandular trichomes. Spider mite development was negatively related to concentrations of foliar phenolics; twospotted spider mite development is delayed on leaves with high concentrations of phenolics. The correlation between mite development and foliar phenolics was greater when catechol-based phenolics were used.Land and Food Systems, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the links between female agency and representations of the body in the seventeenth century, with specific reference to the plays of Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle (c. 1623-1673), and Aphra Behn (1640-1689). Although one was an aristocrat who wrote unperformed plays from the latter years of the Interregnum onwards and the other can be considered an impoverished adventuress who became one of the first female professional playwrights after the Restoration, both of these dramatists engage with some of the deep underlying anxieties of the age. Taking as my starting point the idea that the female body is a moveable token in society, used to express fears of social and political instability, I argue that Cavendish and Behn show themselves highly cognizant of pre-existing constructs of femininity, such as the chaste, silent, obedient woman, the learned lady, the Amazon and the seductive whore. However, both dramatists also utilize these constructs to re-present the female body as a source of strength and agency. Using a methodology informed by recent critical approaches to the Renaissance, the body and feminism, I look at five specific areas. Two of these - representations of the female body and aspects of bodily harm in the plays of Cavendish and Behn - alert us to ways in which women were disempowered during this period. The final three chapters consider the ways in which the female body is refigured by the two writers in a more empowering way, particularly in relation to the key areas of sexuality, staging and gender. An analysis of their plays thus illuminates for us a number of crucial and related issues: bodily harm in relation to male appropriations of the female body; negotiations of female desire in terms of redefining chastity and marriage; the use of display and performance as a way of re-presenting the body; notions of sexuality and gender, including lesbianism, cross-dressing and androgyny, and how these relate centrally to the role of the woman writer.

Full textAbstract:
Towards the end of the 19th century Oscar Wilde wrote the four society plays that would become his most famous dramatical works: Lady Windermere’s Fan (1892), A Woman of No Importance (1893), An Ideal Husband (1895) and The Importance of Being Earnest (1895). The plays combined characteristic Wildean witticisms with cunning social criticism of Victorian society, using stereotypical characters such as the dandy, the fallen woman and the “ideal” woman to mock the double moral and strict social expectations of Victorian society. These plays, and to an extent also Wilde’s symbolist drama Salomé (1891), have been the object of a great deal of scholarly interest, with countless studies conducted on them from various angles and theoretical perspectives. Widely under-discussed, however, are Wilde’s two Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, The Duchess of Padua (1883) and A Florentine Tragedy (1894). This thesis therefore sets out to explore The Duchess of Padua and A Florentine Tragedy in order to gain a broader understanding of Wilde’s forgotten dramatical works, while also rediscovering two of Wilde’s most transgressive female characters—Beatrice and Bianca. Challenging traditional ideas of gender and female sexuality, Beatrice and Bianca can be read as proto-feminist figures who continually act transgressively, using their voice and agency to stand up against patriarchy and asserting their rights to experience their lives on their own terms. Through an in-depth study of these plays, this thesis will demonstrate that Wilde’s Elizabethan-Jacobean tragedies, with their strong, modern female characters Beatrice and Bianca deserve greater critical attention on a par with the extensive scholarship on Wilde’s well-known dramatical works.

Full textAbstract:
There has been much written on Boethius and his impact on Chaucer's greater known works, such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, yet there has not been much light shone on his other works, namely The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls, and The House of Fame, which are a rich mix of medieval conventions and Boethian elements and themes. Such ideas have been explored through the lenses of his five, shorter "Boethian lyrics" - "The Former Age," "Fortune," "Truth," "Gentilesse," and "Lak of Stedfastnesse" - particularly because it is within these five poems that the metafictional narrative approach or framing of Chaucer's Boethiusinfluenced work, through narration and possible consolations, are fleshed out and brought into focus. However, the "Boethian lyrics" are not necessary in the study of the three earlier poems The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls, and The House of Fame. Using the convention of the frame tale with the dream vision in these three poems allows for the narrator to be brought to an understanding in each of these texts, strongly suggesting that this approach is something that Chaucer came across in Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy. To merely go through and catalogue all Boethian elements as lifted directly from Consolation would accomplish nothing but a catalog of similarities. In that same vein, to analyze the "Boethian poems" would also be treading over familiar scholarly ground. In examining an intermediary group of texts as a bridge between Boethius's classical philosophy and Chaucer's courtly poetry, particularly The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls and The House of Fame, this more concretely shows the extent of Boethius's coloring injected into Chaucer's writings from early in his writing career. Through close readings and secondary outside research, I am confident that another chapter of Chaucerian scholarship, one that has rarely been explored, much less written, can be added.
