Matter, Augustin. "Gonzague de Reynold, poète." Thesis, Lyon, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LYSE3052.

Full text
Abstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le domaine de la littérature française en Suisse romande et est consacrée à la production littéraire de l’un des acteurs du renouveau littéraire romand au début du XXe siècle, Gonzague de Reynold (1880-1970), compagnon d’écrivains célèbres comme C. F. Ramuz et Ch. A. Cingria. Dans une œuvre abondante et inégale, particulièrement consacrée à des essais historiques et parfois politiques, un corpus poétique plus restreint a été délimité, couvrant particulièrement la période contemporaine de La Voile latine (1904-1910) et du premier conflit mondial, jusqu’aux grandes années de l’Entre-deux-guerres. Entre 1904 et 1931, Reynold accorde en effet une place importante à la création littéraire, avant de se laisser accaparer par l’action catholique et/ou nationaliste, l’écriture d’essais politiques et plus tard la composition de vastes synthèses sur l’idée européenne. De L’Âge d’or (1898) et Au Pays des Aïeux (1904) à Conquête du Nord (1931), en passant par Cités et pays suisses (1914-1920), et les Contes et légendes de la Suisse héroïque, plusieurs œuvres en vers et en prose assurent à leur auteur le statut de poète, image que vient bientôt concurrencer sa renommée d’intellectuel et d’historien de la civilisation. Jusque dans les années cinquante, Reynold est considéré en Suisse et à l’étranger comme le principal écrivain de Suisse romande avec Ramuz, avant que le vieillissement d’une œuvre, les remises en cause de la deuxième Guerre mondiale et l’émergence de concurrents viennent lentement le reléguer au second plan. Le but de cette thèse est d’étudier comment Reynold a été le principal acteur d’une poésie helvétiste renouvelée destinée à ré-enchanter tant le singulier que le collectif. Cette relecture des œuvres de Reynold fait assister à la forge d’une identité qui esquisse une quête lyrique de soi, une refondation du lieu d’origine et une tentative épique. Si la poésie elle-même inclut une expression du politique et une ontologie, l’œuvre poétique de Reynold montre les conditions de réalisation et les contradictions d’une poésie d’inspiration nationaliste en Suisse, de son esquisse à son effacement/dépassement, au rythme des événements historiques et de l’évolution intellectuelle et culturelle du début du XXe siècle
This thesis deals with the French litterature in French-speaking Switzerland and focuses on Gonzague de Reynold (1880-1970), comrade of some famous writers like C.F. Ramuz and Ch. A. Cingria and one of the actors of the French-speaking Switzerland literary revolution at the beginning of the XXth Century. In an extensive but uneven work particulary devoted to some historical and sometimes political essays, a limited corpus covering the contemporary period which is named "La Voile Latine" (1904-1901) and from the First World War to the interwar years has been chosen.Between 1904 and 1931, Reynold gives literary production a significant place just before being caught by catholic and/or nationalist action, political essays writing and finally the European idea. From "L'Âge d'or" (1898), "Au pays des Aïeux" (1904) to "Conquête du Nord" (1931) by way of "Cités et pays suisses" (1914-1920), "Contes et légendes de la Suisse héroïque" and many poems written in verse or prose, all these different works give the writer the status of poet although his image will soon be in competition with his reputation of an intellectual and a historian.Up to the fiftees, Reynold used to be considered inland and abroad as the main writer in French-speaking Switzerland just as Ramuz. But the ageing of a literary production and the new questioning after World War II push him progressively into the background. The aim of this thesis is to study how Reynold was the main actor of a new form of Swiss poetry destined to re-enchant the person as well as the people.This poem shows the building of one's identity by means of a lyrical quest of oneself, a reconstruction of the original place, an epic attempt. Reynold's poetry eventually shows the conditions of realisation and the contradictions of a poetry inspired by Swiss nationalism from its draft to its eradication/overtaking, at the pace of the historical events and cultural/intellectual evolution at the beginning of the XXth Century

Abstract:
The North Alpine Foreland Basin (NAFB) comprises sediments of late Eocene to middle Miocene age. The earliest deposits are the North Helvetic Flysch which are exposed in the regions of Glarus and Graubunden, eastern Switzerland. The Taveyannaz sandstones are the first thrust wedge (southerly) derived sediments of the North Helvetic Flysch. The Taveyannaz basin was divided into two sub-basins by a thrust ramp palaeohigh running ENE/WSW (parallel to the thrust front). Palaeocurrent directions were trench parallel towards the ENE. Sedimentation in the Inner basin (140m thick) is characterised by very thick bedded turbidite sands generated by thrust induced seismic events confined within the thrust-top basin. The Outer basin (240m min. thickness) comprises 10-15 sand packages (5-100m thick) formed by turbidite sands which are commonly amalgamated. Sedimentation in the Outer basin is considered to have been controlled by thrust-induced relative sea-level variations. The Inner basin underwent intense deformation at the sediment/water interface prior to the emplacement of a mud sheet over the basin whilst the sediments were partially lithified. Later tectonic deformation involved fold and thrust structures detaching in the underlying Globigerina marls. The stratigraphy of the NAFB can be considered as two shallowing upward megasequences separated by the base Burdigalian unconformity. This stratigraphy can be simulated by computer by simplifying the foreland basin/thrust wedge system into 4 parameters: 1) the effective elastic thickness of the foreland plate, 2) a transport coefficient to describe the erosion, transport and deposition of sediment, 3) the surface slope angle of the thrust wedge, 4) the thrust wedge advance rate. The Alpine thrust wedge underwent thickening during the underplating of the External Massifs at about 24-18Ma. This event is simulated numerically by slowing the thrust wedge advance rate, and increasing the slope angle and keeping all other parameters constant. This event causes rejuvenation of the forebulge, and erosion of the underlying stratigraphy, so simulating the base Burdigalian unconformity without recourse to eustasy or anelastic rheologies to the foreland plate.

Abstract:
Throughout history and in today’s society, typography has been and still is without doubt a great part of communication. Behrens, an important designer from the modernist movement, believed that after architecture, typography provided “…the most characteristic picture of a period” and “…development of people”. Typography carries meaning and associations, built on the contexts and the design it is used in, that finally creates a typographic image. The Blackletter style Fraktur, and Helvetica were born to serve a purpose connected to power. Important for this research is to understand in detail, the origin of that power and its position: Blackletter portrays features of the Gothic architecture, expressing religious emotions and civic pride, intended for effective writing, and was predominant in religious and educational contexts. This improvement of writing was a necessity for the development of the society during the medieval times; for both educational and financial reasons. As Fraktur became a symbol of Germany, the today’s connotations towards oppression and Nazism were inevi­table as the Third Reich continued to use it until it was banned in 1941. Meanwhile, the post war modernism in the 20th Century, sought objectivity, simplicity and readability in their design, to erase any carried meaning or associations that could have a misleading effect on the information. This period of time paved way for a corporate culture, with approaches towards rationalist and function­alist methods, that expresses authority and reliability. Achieving brand recognition for a wide range of products and contexts was required by the graphic designers. Through workshops that document people’s associations and comments on the shapes and typographic images that both Helvetica and Fraktur create, and visual research made in forms of sketching and adding Fraktur features to signs of institutions and public sectors, I have investigated Fraktur’s tainted image of oppression and political sentiments with the help of Helvetica as the contemporary norm.

Abstract:
The spotted fever group rickettsiae are emerging diseases. They cause damage in their hosts by invading the endothelium in small to medium-sized blood vessels, which results in vasculitis that can cause clinical manifestations from most organs. The present thesis describes the prevalence of Rickettsia helvetica in ticks, the incidence of rickettsial infection based on seroreactivity and seroconversion in humans and their symptoms, from different parts of Sweden and the Åland Islands in Finland. This was accomplished through serological analysis of both retrospective and prospective serum samples from confirmed and suspected tick-bitten individuals compared to individuals with no knowledge of tick exposure (blood donors). We found a comparable seroprevalence to Rickettsia spp. in different geographical areas where ticks are present; it was also comparable to the seroprevalence of Borrelia spp. Seroprevalence was also more common, as suspected, in the tick-exposed group compared to blood donors. In comparison with co-infections with other tick-borne infections (Anaplasma spp. and Borrelia spp.), we could conclude that co-infections do exist and that, based on clinical findings, it is difficult to distinguish which microorganism causes certain clinical manifestations. For reliable conclusions regarding the causative microorganism, the diagnosis should basically rely on diagnostic tests. In comparison with Borrelia spp., seroconversion to Rickettisa spp. was more common in the areas we investigated, indicating that rickettsiosis is a common tick-borne infection in Sweden and most likely underdiagnosed. When investigating patients with meningitis, we found R. felis in cerebrospinal fluid from two patients with subacute meningitis. This was the first report in which R. felis was found and diagnosed in patients in Sweden. The patients recovered without sequelae and without causal treatment. To provide guidelines on when to treat Rickettisa spp. infections, more investigations are needed. The present thesis shows that Rickettsia spp. are common in ticks and do infect humans. Rickettsial infection should be considered in both non-specific or specific symptoms after a tick bite. It was also shown in the thesis that flea-borne rickettsiosis (R. felis) occurs in Sweden and may cause invasive infections

Abstract:
In the graphic design, successful use of white space provides the designed object with a strong reference to its material quality and internal structure. Showing the paper breaks the wall between the design and the viewer, and gives the audience a better understanding of the construction of graphic design. White space is devoid representation, which leads the work to become completely honest about its materiality. This project explores different methods and processes for creating aesthetic/conceptual integrity in graphic design by using white space as a primary device.

Abstract:
Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular gram-negative bacteria transmitted by arthropod vectors. Rickettsiae sometimes cause disease in humans, typically with high fever, headache and occasionally an eschar. In Sweden, Rickettsia helvetica, belonging to the spotted fever group, is the only tick-transmitted rickettsia found free in nature. The pathogenic roll of R. helvetica has not been fully investigated, but it has been implicated in aneruptive fever and cardiac disease. This thesis describes parts of the transmission pathways of rickettsiae in Sweden. Rickettsia infection rates in ticks collected from birds were analysed, and the birds’ role as disseminators and reservoirs was studied. We found that more than one in ten ticks was infected with rickettsia bacteria, predominantly R. helvetica, and that migrating birds contribute not only to long-distance dispersion of bacteria, but also to an inflow of novel and potentially pathogenic rickettsia species, in this case R. monacensis and R. sp. strain Davousti-like species, into Sweden. Further, wild and domestic animals were found to have seroreactivity against R. helvetica, which shows that they are exposed and susceptible to rickettsia. Their role as reservoirs has not been determined, yet they may indirectly be involved in transmission of rickettsia to humans by infected ticks feeding on them. The seroreactivity in humans was also studied. Patients investigated for suspected Borrelioses and blood donors had detectable antibodies against Rickettsia spp., with the highest prevalence detected in the suspected Borreliosis group. This shows that humans in Sweden are exposed to and develop an immune response against rickettsia. The suspicion that R. helvetica may cause severe symptoms was verified by a patient with subacute meningitis where the bacterium was shown for the first time to cause an invasive infection with CNS involvement and where the bacterium was isolated from the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid. Growth characteristics and morphology of R. helvetica were studied to better understand invasiveness and virulence. The findings indicate that the invasiveness is comparable with other rickettsia, though R. helvetica seems to have a stable but slightly slower growth.  Rickettsia helvetica is endemic in Sweden and therefore needs to be considered when investigating disease after a tick bite.
Rickettsia är en liten, strikt intracellulär, gramnegativ bakterie som sprids med vektorer som fästingar, löss och loppor. Bakterien kan orsaka Rickettsios hos människa, en sjukdom där de vanligaste symtomen är hög feber, huvudvärk, muskelvärk och i vissa fall ett bettmärke (eschar). I Sverige är Rickettsia helvetica, som tillhör spotted fever gruppen (SFG), den enda fästingöverförda rickettsia bakterien som hittats allmänt i naturen. Patogeniciteten för R. helvetica är ofullständigt utredd, men ”aneruptive fever” och hjärtmuskelinflammation har rapporterats. Avhandlingen beskriver delar av smittkedjan för SFG rickettsia i Sverige. Bakteriernas förekomst i fästingar plockade från fåglar har studerats, likaså det ekologiska tryck som flyttfåglars bärarskap av infekterade fästingar bidrar med när de korsar olika världsdelar. Mer än var tionde fästing var infekterad med rickettsia bakterier, i huvudsak R. helvetica. Det visade sig att flyttfåglar bidrar inte bara till långväga spridning av bakterier utan även till införsel av nya potentiellt patogena rickettsiaarter, i detta fall identifierades R. monacensis och en R. sp strain Davousti liknande art. Vidare analyserades seroreaktivitet mot Rickettsia helvetica hos både tamdjur och vilda djur, vilket visade på antikroppsutveckling, som uttryck för smittexposition, i mer än vart femte djur. Djurens roll som reservoar för bakterien är inte klarlagd, men oavsett är djuren indirekt involverade i spridningen av bakterien till människa via infekterade fästingar som suger blod. Seroreaktivitet hos människa har också studerats. Patienter, provtagna på grund av misstanke om borreliainfektion, samt blodgivare hade detekterbara antikroppar mot Rickettsiae, med högst prevalens i gruppen med misstänkt borreliainfektion. Fynden visar att människor i Sverige är exponerade för och utvecklar en immunreaktion mot rickettsia. Att R. helvetica skulle kunna ge allvarlig sjukdom verifieras av ett patientfall med subakut meningit där bakterien för första gången visats ge invasiv infektion med påverkan på nervsystemet (CNS engagemang) och där bakterien isolerats från patientens ryggmärgsvätska.  Morfologi och tillväxtegenskaper för R. helvetica undersöktes för att bättre förstå bakteriens invasivitet och virulens. Fynden indikerar att invasiviteten är jämförbar med andra rickettsiaarter men R. helvetica verkar ha en stabil men något långsammare tillväxt. Rickettsia helvetica är endemisk i Sverige och måste tas i beaktande vid sjukdomsutredning efter ett fästingbett.

Abstract:
Fästingburna infektioner är ett ökande problem, och därmed även infektioner orsakade av Rickettsia spp. Syftet med studien var att undersöka risken att drabbas av en infektion efter bett av rickettsiainfekterad fästing. Specificitet och sensitivitet av Fluidigm-PCR jämfördes mot real time polymerase chain reaction (realtids-PCR) vid detektion av Rickettsia spp. i fästingar som bitit människor. Vidare undersöktes om det finns någon korrelation mellan fästingens blodsugningstid och serokonversion mot Rickettsia spp. 753 fästingar lämnades in av 104 deltagare i Sverige och på Åland. Fästingarna analyserades med realtids-PCR för att detektera gltA-genen som är specifik för Rickettsia spp. 3,5 % av fästingarna var positiva för Rickettsia spp. med realtids-PCR. Vid analysering med Fluidigm-PCR av samma material blev 1,3 % av proverna positiva. Beräkningar som gjordes med realtids-PCR som referens visade att Fluidigm-PCR har sämre specificitet och sensitivitet jämfört med realtids-PCR. Deltagare som serokonverterade (n=5) lämnade endast in rickettsianegativa fästingar som därför inte kunde kopplas till infektionen. Därmed kunde inga slutsatser dras om risken att drabbas av en infektion efter bett av rickettsiainfekterad fästing eller om det föreligger någon korrelation mellan fästingens blodsugningstid och serokonversion.
Tick-borne infections are increasing, including infections caused by Rickettsia spp. The aim of this study was to examine the risk of developing an infection after being bitten by a tick infected with Rickettsia spp. Specificity and sensitivity of a Fluidigm-PCR assay were compared to real time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) assay when detecting Rickettsia spp. in ticks that had bitten humans. Possible correlation between the tick's feeding time and seroconversion against Rickettsia spp. was also investigated. A total of 753 ticks from 104 participants in Sweden and the Åland Islands (Finland) were analyzed with real-time PCR to detect the gltA gene specific for Rickettsia spp. 3.5 % of the samples were positive for Rickettsia spp. with real-time PCR, while only 1.3 % of the samples were positive with Fluidigm-PCR. Calculations showed that Fluidigm-PCR assay has lower specificity and sensitivity than the real-time PCR assay. Unfortunately, no conclusions could be drawn considering correlation between the tick's feeding time and seroconversion of the bitten humans since no participants who had seroconverted had also submitted ticks containing Rickettsia spp. Therefore, no conclusions could be drawn considering the risk of developing an infection after being bitten by a tick infected with Rickettsia spp.

Abstract:
Pålitlighet och tillit identifieras som ett viktigt krav för att konsumenter skall lita på en webbplats. Typografi definieras som ett steg för att en webbplatts skall uppfattas som pålitlig. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka tidigare forskning och teorier inom typografi och kognitionsvetenskap för att syntetisera hur typsnitt kan inge pålitlighet. Studien vill undersöka vilka existerande typsnitt som har egenskaper vilka inger pålitlighet samt används på webben. Detta utfördes genom en utveckling av de kognitionsvetenskapliga teorierna Stereotypisk tillit och Kognitiv tillitsbildning för att få fram tre pålitliga element: pålitligaste varumärke, yrke och kön. Utifrån dessa tre element och deras typografiska motsvarigheter togs fem typsnitt fram, vilka är Monopol, Helvetica, Proxima Nova, Arial och Roboto. De identifierade linjärerna rekommenderas som typsnitt man skulle kunna använda för att applicera en pålitlig känsla på sin webbplats. Typsnittet i sig kan dock, enligt denna studie, inte inge pålitlighet utan det är en kombination av användning, erfarenhet och läsbarhet som gör att ett typsnitt kan bli pålitligt i en viss kontext. Här kan jag dock få fram att ett typsnitt bör stämma med sitt budskap för att uppehålla en nivå av pålitlighet. Förslag för vidare studier är att testa ifall dessa framtagna typsnitt inger en pålitlig känsla samt ifall sans-seriffer ses som pålitligare än seriffer.

Abstract:
The present thesis examines questions related to the temporal origin of the Flavivirus genus and the ecology of tick-borne pathogens. In the first study, we date the origin and divergence time of the Flavivirus genus. It has been argued that the first flaviviruses originated after the last glacial maximum. This has been contradicted by recent analyses estimating that the tick-borne flaviviruses emerged at least before 16,000 years ago. It has also been argued that the Powassan virus was introduced into North America at the time between the opening and splitting of the Beringian land bridge. Supported by tip date and biogeographical calibration, our results suggest that this genus originated circa 120,000 (156,100–322,700) years ago if the Tamana bat virus is included in the genus, or circa 85,000 (63,700–109,600) years ago excluding the Tamana bat virus. In the second study we estimate the prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in host-seeking Ixodes ricinus from 29 localities in Sweden and compare our data with those of neighbouring countries. Nymphs and adult ticks were screened for TBEV using a real-time PCR assay. The mean TBEV prevalence for all tick stages combined was 0.26% for Sweden and 0.28% for all Scandinavian countries, excluding Iceland. The low prevalence of TBEV in nature may partly be explained by the fact that TBEV occurs in spatially small foci and that the inclusion of ticks from non-infected foci will reduce the prevalence estimate. In the third and fourth study, we conducted the first large-scale investigations to estimate the prevalence and geographical distribution of Anaplasma spp. and Rickettsia spp. in host-seeking larvae, nymphs and adults of I. ricinus ticks in Sweden. Ticks were collected from several localities in central and southern Sweden and were subsequently screened for the presence of Anaplasma spp. and Rickettsia spp. using a real-time PCR assay. For all active tick stages combined, the mean prevalence of Anaplasma spp. and Rickettsia spp. in I. ricinus in Sweden was estimated to 1.1% and 4.8%, respectively. It was also shown that A. phagocytophilum and R. helvetica are the main Anaplasma and Rickettsia species occurring in Sweden.

Abstract:
Typografi finns överallt. Det är en del av grafisk formgivning som är ramverket som vi på olika plattformar i media och i stadsbilden blir tilltalade och därigenom förstår omvärlden. Typografi påverkar i stor utsträckning hur vi tolkar ett innehåll och hur vi värderar allt från människor till åsikter. I mitt examensarbete "Typografisk makt" undersöker jag relationen mellan samhällets värderingar och typografi. Varför tar vi vissa typsnitt på allvar och andra ses som oseriösa? Jag har skrivit en essä och presenterar texten i två publikationer där jag med formgivningen vill kommentera olika sätt att förhålla sig till idéer om hur typografi bör fungera och se ut. I essän tar jag upp historiska aspekter som påverkat hur typografi värderas. Jag försöker även bena ut vilken roll egenskaper kopplade till kön har för roll i hur typografi värderas.

Abstract:
This experimental study investigated the relationship between the independent measures of font selection, type size, and type rendering technology and the dependent measures of legibility, as measured by the Chapman-Cook speed of reading test, as well as comprehension, as measured by a series of questions from the verbal comprehension section of the Graduate Record Exam. An electronic instrument presented test items in 12 different typographic styles. The study tested 117 college students at a university in southwestern Virginia. Each participant encountered anti-alias type rendering style and the orthochromatic type rendering style while participants were randomly assigned to either Helvetica or Palatino (font selection) and 8, 10 or 12 point type size. Results indicated that the 12 point type size was read more quickly than either 8 point type or 10 point type. There was also an interaction between font selection and type rendering technology for speed of reading: Helvetica without an anti-alias was read more quickly than Helvetica with an anti-alias and more quickly than Palatino without an anti-alias. These findings contradict an earlier, similar study. There were no significant results with regard to comprehension. [Vita removed Oct. 13, 2010. GMc]

Abstract:
The spotted fever rickettsia, Rickettsia helvetica, is an endemic tick-borne bacteria in Sweden. It causes infections in humans, manifested as aneruptive fever, headache, arthralgia and myalgia, and sometimes an inoculation eschar or a rash. There have also been two known cases of human infections with R. felis in Sweden. The present thesis starts by investigating dispersal of ticks and Rickettsia spp. by migrating birds flying from Africa to Europe. Almost 15,000 birds were searched and 734 ticks collected, mainly of the species Hyalomma marginatum complex. Almost half (48%) of the ticks were infected with Rickettsia spp., 96% of which was R. aeschlimannii, the remaining R. africae and undefined species. The next study focused on questing ticks over a large area in Sweden and determining the prevalence of Rickettsia spp., Anaplasma spp. and Coxiella burnetii. Rickettsia spp. was found in 9.5-9.6% of the ticks and A. phagocytophilum in 0.7%; no C. burnetii was found. The last three papers in the thesis focused on the clinical presentation of rickettsiosis, the symptoms associated with the infection in general and particularly in patients with neurological complications. A tick-exposed population in Sweden was investigated to gain a better understanding of symptoms due to rickettsioses, also in relation to co-infections with other tick-borne bacteria. Based on symptoms, it was not possible to distinguish what pathogen caused the infections. Most patients had erythema migrans, some had serological reactions to Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp. or co-infections by Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp. and/or Anaplasma spp. In the fourth and fifth papers, we found associations between antibodies against Rickettsia spp. and sudden deafness (in 10-24% of patients) and facial nerve paralysis (in 8.3-25% of patients). In three patients R. felis was detected in the cerebrospinal fluids.    Briefly, the thesis helps to clarify our knowledge about tick dispersal, shows a narrower prevalence estimate of Rickettsia spp. in Swedish ticks, and illuminates symptoms of rickettsioses and co-infections with other tick-borne infections. It also shows that presence of erythema migrans may be explained by more than Lyme disease and indicates a possible association between rickettsiosis and sudden deafness and facial nerve paralysis.

Abstract:
In thesis themes of typography and computer font of OpenType format is described in details. At the beginning attention is paid to historical development of typeface, where stress is laid mainly on development of Roman and white letter with their characteristics. Having presented basis of typography work is concentrated on topic of digital font with emphasis on possibilities of OpenType format. Further its characteristics and advantages were listed compared to another formats and it was evaluated as format appropriate also for creating font in education process. Letterspacing and kerning were mentioned between basic graphical modifications in creating fonts. In theoretical part of the thesis they were examined in available programs designed for creating font in OpenType format. Except free available means into summary were included also commercial types due to absence of more advanced instruments and functions with free available applications. In evaluation was found that the most convenient for education is Fontlab Fontographer commercial program, free Type lite and Fontforge indicated for Open-source platform. Practical part of the thesis is focused on two chosen programs for creating main font characteristics. The goal was to detect if it is possible to reach identical results when using both programs. Fontographer program enabled to use wide tool palette dedicated to vector graphic processing by means of Adobe Illustrator similar instrument. In the case of Type lite program there were rather less instruments, what is sufficient for elementary work and familiarization with creating of digital typeface. Freeware shortage is basic absence of kerning, spacing or hinting functions. Comparing program possibilities, it falls that freeware programs based on OS Windows with their functionality are sufficient only for entry level users. The best option within free available programs is Fontforge for OS Linux which supports mentioned typographic functions. Fontographer was recommended for teaching of basic characteristics of OpenType font format. Another goal of the thesis was creating of recommended work procedure for creating basic characteristics of OpenType font for students, that is enclosed at the end of the thesis.

Abstract:
Dans cette thèse, j'étudie la réception singulière de la philosophie de Leibniz dans le corpus matérialiste français du 18e siècle. Il s'agit ainsi de repérer, dans les textes de La Mettrie, Diderot, Helvétius et d'Holbach, les éléments (concepts, arguments ou images) leibniziens dont ces auteurs usent de manière à élaborer leur propre doctrine. L'objectif est alors triple : premièrement, comprendre les sources du matérialisme moderne et notamment reconsidérer ses rapports avec la métaphysique du 17e siècle. On montrera ainsi, avec l'exemple particulier du recours à la philosophie de Leibniz, que le matérialisme est moins une doctrine du rejet de la métaphysique classique que de son détournement et de sa subversion. Deuxièmement, montrer l'importance de la figure de Leibniz dans la constitution d'une philosophie dite « radicale », c'est-à-dire nuancer le schéma largement admis actuellement d'une identité entre « radicalité » et « spinozisme ». Enfin, cette étude des usages matérialistes de Leibniz vise, par l'analyse des réceptions, à déterminer des interprétations possibles de la philosophie de Leibniz, ou du moins de certains de ses éléments. Il s'agit ainsi de considérer le devenir historique de la philosophie leibnizienne comme le lieu de la révélation de ses potentialités théoriques. La thèse comporte deux parties. La première analyse les médiations par lesquelles la philosophie de Leibniz est introduite en France au 18e siècle (Wolff, Du Châtelet, Maupertuis). La seconde présente quatre usages de la philosophie leibnizienne repérables chez La Mettrie, Diderot, D'Holbach et Helvétius ainsi que le processus de démembrement que ces auteurs lui font subir
In this dissertation, I study the unexpected reception of Leibniz's philosophy in the 18th century French materialism. The aim is to identify the leibnizian concepts, arguments or images that are used by La Mettrie, Diderot, d'Holbach and Helvétius to build their own thoughts. Three kinds of results are shown. Firstly, to understand better the origins of French modern materialisme and particularly its relationship to 17th century metaphysics. In this perspective, this stydy shows that materialists do not necessarilyu reject metaphysics but rather use it for their own goals. Secondly, to show the role of Leibniz in the in the elaboration of a so-called radical philosophy, which means to question the common idea that radicalism originates from spinozism. Lastly, by looking at the materialists uses of Leibniz's concepts, it tries to identify new possible interpretations of his philosophy, more precisely to consider the historical reception of leibnizian philosophy as a way to reveal his theoretical potential. This work is divided in two parts : in the first one, it studies the mediations by which Leibniz's philosophy was introduced in France in the 18th century (Wolff, Du Châtelet, Maupertuis). In the second one, it examines four different uses of the leibnizian philosophy, namely, in La Mettrie, Diderot, d'Holbach and Helvétius

The aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of currently used helvetisms in the field of cuisine and eating. In the initial part, a concept of German as a pluricentric language is introduced, followed by a description of the language situation in the German speaking Switzerland and basic characteristics of the Swiss variety. Five sources were analyzed, besides other things also a journal of a Switzerland-based Germanist and business company Migros' product database. Internet was used as a linguistic corpus in order to provide an analysis tool next to the selected dictionaries. Ascertained helvetisms were assessed on the basis of their existing lexicographic form and the degree of their intelligibility for other German speaking countries speakers. Selected helvetisms were processed as dictionary entries for the emerging Large German-Czech Academic Dictionary. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Abstract:
O presente trabalho de investigação consiste na materialização do antagonismo entre a Helvetica e Comic Sans. Através de uma comparação irónica entre ambas é possível antever quais as intenções e objectivos associados. Estando cientes de que diferentes tipografias acarretam diferentes sentimentos e contextos, sugere-se um re-enquadramento da Comic Sans enquanto tipografia. O projeto surge como resultado da observação constante e desmedida da Comic Sans em diversos ambientes bem como a crescente bolha quer de informação quer de opinião em torno do tema. Sendo a tipografia o meio de tornar visível a comunicação, esta apresenta dois sentidos - visual e histórico. O seu intuito é ser observada facilitando-nos o acesso ao que é antigo. Ou seja, é um factor de caracterização de uma sociedade e/ou época. Torna-se então importante reconhecer a diversidade e complexidade tipográfica, já que "a tipografia é o interface do alfabeto" (Lupton, 2004, tradução livre). Pretende-se, assim, fomentar uma atitude mais atenta, justa e informada em relação à Comic Sans.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Biodiversidade e Biotecnologia Vegetal apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra.
As microalgas têm-se revelado organismos com grande potencial para a produção de compostos que podem ter aplicações comerciais em diversas áreas como a aquacultura, nutrição, saúde humana e animal, tratamento de águas residuais, produção de energia e nas indústrias alimentar, química ou farmacêutica. A grande variabilidade dos compostos produzidos, aliada ao seu cultivo em grande escala tem permitido a utilização comercial de algumas espécies. A grande maioria são monoculturas, produtoras de compostos particulares, como é o caso dos lípidos. No entanto, estudos recentes demonstram que as monoculturas são difíceis de manter, já que são susceptíveis a contaminações por parte de outros organismos, especialmente quando em sistemas de cultivo abertos. Culturas mistas de duas ou mais espécies começam a surgir como alternativa, sendo uma forma de aumentar e estabilizar a produtividade. O presente estudo teve como objetivo estabelecer uma cultura mista composta por duas espécies de microalgas biotecnologicamente interessantes, tendo em conta que o efeito sinergético do cultivo misto pode resultar numa maior produtividade de biomassa e/ou de compostos de interesse. Vischeria helvetica ACOI 299 (Vischer & Pascher) Hibberd e Asterococcus korschikoffii ACOI 326 Ettl foram inicialmente caraterizadas em cultivo unialgal, quanto ao crescimento e conteúdo lipídico nas fases exponencial e estacionária. Os mesmos parâmetros foram avaliados para as culturas mistas, em que foram testadas duas estratégias, uma com as estirpes em igual proporção (1:1) e outra com maior densidade inicial de V. helvetica (4:1). Para a determinação das curvas de crescimento de cada microalga, foram utilizadas duas metodologias, peso seco (mg/ml) e densidade celular (células/ml). No caso da extração de lípidos, foram testados três métodos, baseados em extração com solventes. Depois de obtido o lípido total de cada microalga por cada um dos métodos, este foi sujeito a fracionamento de modo a separar as diferentes classes lipídicas em lípidos neutros, glicolípidos e fosfolípidos. Nas condições de cultivo estabelecidas, V. helvetica apresentou um crescimento rápido, aumentando em 16 vezes o seu peso seco e atingiu 2,15 mg/ml aos 27 dias de cultura. No mesmo período de tempo, A. korschikoffii aumentou o seu peso em 5 vezes e não atingiu 1 mg/ml de peso seco. Quando expresso em densidade celular, V. helvetica aumentou 7 vezes o seu número de células, enquanto A. korschikoffii aumentou 4 vezes. Em relação ao teor de lípido total, o máximo obtido para V. helvetica foi 294,00 mg de lípido/g de biomassa e para A. korschikoffii foi 162,22 mg/g. Em relação às culturas mistas, foi observada uma relação inversamente proporcional entre o teor de lípido total e a produção de biomassa. A estratégia 1:1 apresentou maior produção e produtividade de biomassa. Contrariamente, na estratégia 4:1 foram obtidos valores baixos de biomassa, mas valores de lípido total mais elevados, particularmente aos 6 dias com 182,86 mg/g, valor superior aos registados para qualquer uma das monoculturas para o mesmo período. Os resultados sugerem que a cultura mista com mais quantidade de V. helvetica (4:1), após 6 dias de crescimento é indicada para obtenção de elevada produção de lípidos e também que o cultivo misto de A. korschikoffii e V. helvetica em igual proporção (1:1) favorece a produção de biomassa de A. korschikoffii
Microalgae have a high potential for the production of compounds that may have commercial applications in areas such as aquaculture, nutrition, human and animal health, waste water treatment, energy production and food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The great variability of these compounds, together with the application of large scale cultivation has allowed the commercial use of some species. Most cultures of algae are grown as a monoculture since specific strains produce specific high value products, like for example lipids. However, some studies have shown that monocultures are difficult to maintain since they are susceptible to contamination by other organisms, especially when growing in open tanks. Therefore mixed cultures of two or more species can be an alternative that may increase and stabilize productivity. The aim of this study was to establish a mixed culture of two microalgae with biotechnological potential, considering that the cultivation of both species can result in higher productivity of biomass and/or interesting compounds. Vischeria helvetica ACOI 299 (Vischer & Pascher) Hibberd and Asterococcus korschikoffii ACOI 326 Ettl were initially characterized in unialgal systems, regarding growth and lipid content in the exponential and stationary phases. These parameters were also evaluated in mixed cultures, in which two strategies were tested, one with the same proportion of the two species (1:1) and the other with V. helvetica in a higher initial density (4:1). Growth curves were established by dry weight (mg/ml) and also by cell counting (cell/ml). For the lipid extraction, three methods based on solvent extraction were tested. The total lipid extracts were submitted to fractionation in order to separate the main lipid classes, neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids. In the established culture conditions, V. helvetica showed a rapid growth, increasing 16-fold in dry weight and reaching 2.15 mg/ml after 27 days of culture. For the same period of time, A. korschikoffii increased 5-fold and did not reach 1 mg/ml of dry weight. Growth estimated by cell counting showed an increase of 7-fold for V. helvetica and 4-fold in A. korschikoffii. Regarding the total lipid content, the maximum obtained for V. helvetica was 294.00 mg of lipid/g of dried biomass and 162.22 mg/g for A. korschikoffii. For the mixed cultures, an inversely proportional relationship between the total lipid content and the biomass was observed. The 1:1 strategy showed a higher biomass production and productivity in contrast with 4:1 strategy that showed low biomass values. However, total lipid content obtained was higher than recorded for each monoculture at the same period, particularly after 6 days of culture with 182.86 mg/g. The results suggest that the mixed culture with higher density of V. helvetica (4:1), after 6 days of culture is the most indicated for obtaining high lipid content and that the mixed culture of A. korschikoffii and V. helvetica in equal proportions (1:1) favors the biomass production of A. korschikoffii.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain to what extent D.T. Niles’ theory of preaching is Reformed and Biblical and can help in the dialogue between Western and Non-Western Christianity. The study achieves this aim by employing the qualitative case-study research to meet four objectives. First, it describes Niles’ theory of preaching as found in his trilogy of lectures on preaching, explicating especially the double calling of the preacher, the double content and the pneumatological character and nature of preaching, the three-fold purpose and double consequences of preaching. Second, it interprets Niles’ theory of preaching in the light of his own cultural background and in dialogue with the works of key Reformation figures including Erasmus, Zwingli, Luther, Calvin and Bullinger’s Second Helvetic Confession. Based on this examination, the study determines that Niles’ homiletical theory is in concert with the theology of preaching of the Magisterial Reformers as summarised in Bullinger’s classic statement: ‘The preaching of the word of God is the word of God’ . Third, this study evaluates critically Niles’ theory of preaching within the normative context of the preaching of Jesus in the Synagogue in Nazareth and the wider New Testament teaching on preaching and finds that Niles’ homiletical theory is in agreement with Scriptural norm. Fourth, having found Niles’ theory of preaching to be broadly in concert with the understanding of the Reformers and the Biblical teaching on the nature of preaching, this study undertakes the pragmatic task of developing a global theology of preaching that would promote dialogue between Western and Non-Western Christianity. This study was undertaken because of the dearth of theologies of preaching written from a Non-Western perspective and the lack of dialogue between Western and Non-Western homiletical theories. The result of the investigation is the conclusion that the preaching of the word of God is the word of God since preaching is a pneumatological event where God is present in the act of human preaching so long as the preacher himself is lawfully called and the content of his preaching is Christological and soteriological.
