Abstract:

Il presente lavoro costituisce la prima ricostruzione del lavoro di Gianna Manzini alla radio e alla televisione, che comincia nel 1947 e si conclude nel 1968. Gli interventi radiofonici sono divisi in trasmissioni di moda e costume e di critica letteraria (capitolo 1) e racconti scritti per la radio (capitolo 3); le trasmissioni televisive sono ripartite in sceneggiature realizzate e non realizzate (capitolo 3). I testi dei programmi sono stati identificati nei fondi archivistici della Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori di Milano, dell’Archivio del Novecento dell’Università La Sapienza di Roma e della Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma. Il lavoro si basa dunque sulla descrizione e l’analisi di materiale inedito, come L’Almanacco dei sogni e Il paesaggio come fatto personale, e le sceneggiature Il grande indiscreto, Il nome di battesimo e Alfredino. La ricognizione ha dimostrato come Gianna Manzini possedesse una consapevolezza mediatica tale da essere in grado di adattare il proprio stile alle specifiche esigenze del mezzo di comunicazione. Tuttavia, l’attività radio-televisiva non può essere considerata del tutto autonoma e disgiunta dalla carriera letteraria, con la quale intrattiene un rapporto strettissimo e osmotico.
This research aims at providing a first and thorough description of Gianna Manzini’s work for the Italian Broadcasting (RAI), a collaboration which started in 1947 and ended in 1968. Her works for the radio are divided into fashion and literary criticism broadcasting (chapter 1) and original radio screenplays (chapter 2); her works for the television are divided into broadcasted and non broadcasted scripts (chapter 3). The texts of these programmes have been found in the following archives: Fondazione Arnoldo e Alberto Mondadori (Milan), Archivio del Novecento, Università La Sapienza (Rome) and Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale (Rome). The thesis both describes and analyzes original and unpublished works and screenplays, such as L’Almanacco dei sogni, Il paesaggio come fatto personale, Il grande indiscreto, Il nome di battesimo and Alfredino. In the end, the research showed evidence that Gianna Manzini was well aware that different media require different writing characteristics and was able to act accordingly. Nonetheless, her literary and broadcasting activity cannot be considered as two separate carriers, being actually strictly bound to each other.

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD
Food security is the ability to secure an adequate daily supply of food that is affordable, hygienic and nutritious and it has become a chronic development problem in most urban areas of the global South. This thesis contributes to the urban food security debate by exploring the connection between drought and food security in urban Swaziland. Specifically, the study examines the effects of the 2015/16 drought on access to food in the informal settlement of kaKhoza in the city of Manzini. The study used climate change and food security conceptual framework to interrogate the connection between drought and food security in the urban context. The framework shows how climate change variables like extreme weather events (e.g. drought) impact food security drivers such as agricultural management, demographic, cultural and socio-economic variables, and how these drivers impact the four components of food security (food availability, access, utilization and stability of access). The study drew from both the positivistic and interpretivistic paradigms and adopted a case study approach based on the mixed methods research design. Data was collected from the informal settlement of kaKhoza using a three step procedure involving a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. A questionnaire was administered to 145 heads of households using systematic sampling technique. Purposive sampling was employed to select 30 and 8 respondents for in-depth and key informant interviews, respectively. The researcher also engaged the observation method approach to capture additional information about effects of drought as observed in the study site. The researcher adhered to all legal and ethical procedures during the data collection and research writing processes. As such, participation in the research was strictly voluntary without any form of coercion, whatsoever. The results reveal that drought contributes to food insecurity in low income urban spaces by reducing the quantity and frequency of free or low priced rural-urban food transfers. As a result, low income households have had to rely more on food purchases, thereby making them increasingly food insecure. The problem is compounded by reverse food flows from urban to rural areas. The drought induced food price hike, compelled many low-income households to be less dependent on the supermarket as the main source of their food, and to buy increased amounts of food from the vegetable markets and tuck shops. Residents employ different coping mechanisms to deal with drought induced food shortage, some of which are too risky and further expose them to food insecurity. These coping strategies include: skipping meals, begging, use of informal credit, over reliance on informal markets and selling of sexual favours, which expose respondents to HIV and AIDS infection.

Abstract:

In this study the food habits of schoolchildren aged 11-15 years in three primary schools in Manzini, Swaziland were described and explored. Their eating patterns and the composition of their meals during the week and over weekends, together with their familiarity, consumption and preference rating of selected traditional foods were established. The school meal programme and other aspects of the school food environment were also included as part of the study. As there is limited information on the food habits of Swazi people in general, and no recent information available on the food habits of Swaziland’s primary schoolchildren, this study has contributed to filling a gap in the literature. Studies done in other sub-Saharan African countries on the food habits of schoolchildren have reported changes in their dietary intake due to migration, urbanisation, modernisation and Westernisation, processes also found in this country’s history. This explorative and descriptive cross-sectional study is deductive in nature and followed a quantitative research design. A self-administered, pre-tested survey questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions was developed and completed by 300 Grade 5, 6 and 7 primary schoolchildren to determine their eating and consumption patterns. The results reflect a change in daily meal patterns from the traditional two meals to the Western-orientated eating pattern of three meals a day with in-between-meal snacking. In-between meal snacking was more common during the week than over weekends. For the majority of the respondents breakfast consisted of either bread or a soft porridge prepared from sorghum or maize meal and tea. Lunch and supper meals were markedly predominantly stiff maize meal porridge served with a legume dish, meat stew or a vegetable relish. Rice is increasingly being eaten for lunch (25%) and supper (35%). Both healthy and unhealthy food and beverage choices were consumed as in-between-meal snacks. This, together with the reported low vegetable, fruit and milk consumption by the majority, is a matter of concern. Most of the selected traditional foods and dishes listed were familiar and consumed by the majority of the respondents. Although some traditional foods and dishes received a low preference rating, the children preferred most of those listed with the exception, as could be expected, of the bitter tasting green leafy vegetables. Concerning the school food environment, results revealed that the majority brought money to purchase food items from vendors during break-times. With the exception of fruit and fruit juice, most of the food items for sale were products with a high fat, sugar or sodium content. Most of the respondents participated in the school meal programme. Although the schoolchildren were satisfied with the meals served, they could not be regarded as nutritionally adequate. This study not only provided empirical data on the food habits of this group of Swazi schoolchildren, but also gave valuable insights into the school food environment. The important role of the school environment in promoting healthy eating was once again confirmed. Based on the findings of this study recommendations and guidelines to promote healthy eating in Swaziland’s primary schools were formulated.

Abstract:

In this study the goal was to explore and describe the food habits of adolescents (16-19 years old) residing in the Manzini region of Swaziland, and to determine the extent to which traditional, fast and snack foods are included in their eating patterns. Scant information is available on the food habits of Swazi adolescents. This life stage is characterised by physiological and behavioural changes that could affect their eating patterns. In the literature, concerns are raised about the food habits of this age group in both developing and developed countries due to the noted prevalence of chronic diseases associated with non-communicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes and coronary heart diseases. In Swaziland, there seems to have been a progressive shift in food consumption patterns characterised by a move away from the traditional to a more Western-orientated food culture. This transition in food patterns is due to various social, economic and cultural changes that are closely associated with urbanisation, modernisation, migration and acculturation. The human ecological perspective, as theoretical perspective, combined with a quantitative research design was used to determine and describe the food habits of adolescents in the study area. Simple stratified random sampling was done and 301 Form 4 adolescents from six high schools in Manzini formed the sample. A pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire containing both open and closed-ended questions was used to collect the data. Information gathered was on the current eating patterns and the extent of snack and fast food consumption, including the familiarity, preference and frequency of consumption of traditional foods. It emerged that the respondents’ regular eating pattern comprised three or more meals a day. The majority ate breakfast that can be described as a bread-based meal. Maize continues to be the staple food and forms part of at least one or more meals a day. The frequent inclusion of rice as part of lunch and supper is increasing. Either meat or chicken is served with rice or stiff maize meal porridge at least three to four times a week. Only a small percentage of respondents reported a daily consumption of fruit and vegetables. This general low consumption rate raises a concern as it means that most of the adolescents were not having fruit and vegetables every day. It was encouraging to see that traditional Swazi foods continue to feature prominently in the eating patterns of this study group. This is supported by their positive attitude towards these foods as reflected in their level of familiarity and frequent consumption of them. Contrary to what is reported worldwide, the consumption of snack and fast foods is relatively low as the majority indicated indulging in these only three or four times a week. With the exception of the low fruit and vegetable intake, their eating patterns can be described as fairly good. Based on these results, recommendations are made that appropriate nutrition education and nutrition curriculum planning be done in schools to promote increased vegetable and fruit consumption and discourage the consumption of unhealthy food options.

Thesis (MA (Geography and Environmental Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Criminal activity and police station locations have an inherent geography that needs to be understood in order for crime prevention strategies to be reasonably effective. This study analysed the spatiotemporal pattern of crime in the city of Manzini, in Swaziland, for the period of 2004 and determined suitable locations for future police stations. Four categories of crime were analysed. These were crimes against property, crimes against people, drug related crimes and crimes against public order. Five main analyses were performed namely: overlay analysis, proximity analysis, temporal analysis, morphological analysis, and accessibility analysis. The findings suggest that crimes against property are the most prevalent category of crime in Manzini with a prevalence rate of 84.2%. This category was followed by crimes against people (11.9%), drug related crimes (3.5%), and crimes against public order (0.4%). Landuses associated with transportation experienced the highest amount (22%) of crime in Manzini. There was a strong relationship between incidents of crime and areas with medium to high population density. The proximity analysis revealed that the highest concentration of incidents of crime was between 50 and 100 metres from alcohol serving establishments in Manzini. In a similar analysis, the proximity of incidents of crime to educational institutions was concentrated between 500 and 1000 metres whereas the proximity of incidents of crime to the Manzini police station was dominant between 250 and 500 metres. Of all recorded incidents of crime 87% occurred during the day while 13% occurred during the night. In areas of high-crime concentration such as the bus rank and the Manzini market, it was established that the structural layout of these areas promoted criminal activity. The accessibility analysis showed that seven police stations are necessary to ensure that people do not walk more than 30 minutes to the nearest police station in Manzini. The study concluded that crime prevention strategies would require the intervention of both the police and city planners to be reasonably successful. It also noted that the establishment of accessible police stations would complement the efforts of the police in their endeavour to combat crime in Manzini.

Abstract:

Magister Public Health - MPH
Background: Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low and middle-income countries. Traffic police reports indicate that RTAs are amongst the commonest health challenges Swaziland faces. Assessing the magnitude of the challenge, understanding the impact on public health and gaining more insight into the actual risk factors involved in RTAs, and especially RTAs that result in serious injuries and fatalities, is important for the road transport authority, the traffic police and for public health planners, in order to improve road safety, to develop effective countermeasures and to improve preparedness for effective health care, respectively. There is an insufficiency of studies on risk factors associated with RTAs, and particularly those associated with serious and fatal RTAs, in Sub-Saharan countries in general and Swaziland specifically. Manzini, a busy small city in Swaziland with a population of 61000 and an estimate of approximately 12000 vehicles on its roads daily is the setting for this study. RTAs in Manzini, are considered as a major public health problem with many people either seriously injured or killed on the roads annually. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the human (e.g. age, gender, speeding and drunk driving), vehicle (e.g. vehicle types and vehicle defects), infrastructural (e.g. type of roads, road surface defects and road lighting) and environmental risk factors (e.g. rain and darkness) associated with serious and fatal RTAs in Manzini city and surrounding suburbs in Swaziland. Methodology: A case control study, based on data collected from RTA records at Manzini Traffic Police Station, was conducted. The study population was all RTAs in Manzini, with cases being RTAs that resulted in serious or fatal injuries, while RTAs with no injuries (vehicle and property damage only) and minor injuries were categorised as controls. A sample size of 294 consisting of all 143 RTAs with fatal and serious injury that occurred from July 2013 to June 2015 in Manzini city as cases and a random sample of 151 controls from amongst the minor injury and property damage only RTAs, was selected. A standardised data extraction tool was used to collect data from routine traffic police records on all RTAs. Frequencies were calculated for categorical variables. Numerical variables were summarised mathematically, via their central tendencies and distribution as well as collapsed into meaningful categories. Bivariate analysis to ascertain odds ratios was undertaken and all risk factors that showed a significant association with severe and fatal RTAs were further assessed via multivariate logistic regression analysis. Ethical approval for the study was secured from the Swaziland National Ethics Committee and the University of the Western Cape Research and Ethics committee. Results: Factors that had an unconfounded association on multivariate analysis with serious/fatal RTAs, compared to minor RTAs, were: male drivers (AOR = 5.48; 95% CI = 1.63 – 18.43); drivers not wearing a seatbelt (AOR = 5.07; 95% CI = 2.39 – 10.74); pedestrian error (AOR = 2.66; 95% CI = 1.46 – 4.86); accidents occurring on weekends (AOR 3.62; 95% CI = 2.07- 6.33); and accidents occurring between 18:00 – 23:59 time of the day (AOR = 11.68; 95% CI = 4.49 - 30.39). Other factors such as: age of driver, no driver's license at the accident scene, drunk-driving, seasons of the year, driver error, vehicle type, vehicle defect, road surface type, road surface condition, weather condition, street light condition and urban/rural location were not found to be associated with serious/fatal RTAs in our study. Limitations Limitations of the study were that some data collected at the scene of the accident were incomplete and not collected in a standardised manner (alcohol use, speeding, vehicle defects, road defects and environmental factors) and that there was probable misclassification of some serious/fatal RTAs as minor ones and under-reporting of minor RTAs. Also several variables which may affect the severity of RTAs, such as educational level, socioeconomic status, medical illness, marital status and emotional status of the driver, were not routinely collected by the traffic police department and hence were not assessed. Conclusions and Recommendations: Modifiable risk factors that had an unconfounded positive association with serious/fatal RTAs were not using a seatbelt, night-time driving, weekend driving and pedestrian error, while male gender might be a proxy for reckless driving. Hence, education programmes for drivers and the public on behavioural change encouragement, improving pedestrians' road safety by provision of pedestrian sidewalks and crossing sites, coupled with increased traffic law enforcement at critical days and times, may result in reduction of serious/fatal RTAs.

Abstract:

In contrast with the large number of poorly performing schools in Swaziland over the past decade (1991-2000), a few schools have managed to attain consistently good results. One such school is St Michael's High. This study draws on the perceptions of different major stakeholders at St Michael's of factors deemed to have contributed to academic success at the school. The study thus follows Fertig (2000), who advocates research in effective schools to be done by looking at the perceptions of different stakeholders rather than in relation to an objective checklist. In this study, St Michael's High is found to be an effective school. Its experience can play a vital role in helping other ineffective and failing schools to improve their academic standing and tarnished public image, provided the schools unreservedly commit themselves to changing their ways. This investigation is aimed at understanding the roles which the school leadership and associated stakeholders have played in making St Michael's an exemplary school in Swaziland. Its findings indicate that the schools that themselves take the initiative to improve their effectiveness are the ones which are successful, which accords with the consensus in research literature on school effectiveness. The evidence gathered in this study suggests that St Michael's is characteristic of such effective schools. Since this is a qualitative interpretive case study on perception of success factors in a girls' high school within the city of Manzini, interviews comprising semi-structured questions were highly useful in tapping the understanding of how various stakeholders contribute to the academic achievement of students in the school. The findings, organised in the form of themes, help illuminate what appears to be a systematic and well-focussed approach toward the academic development of the school and the fulfilment of its goals. Every aspect of the school system is thoroughly explored. The validity of the stakeholders' claim that St Michael's High is a dream school for most Swazi children is verified by the school's examination results for the past decade. But what the research reveals are the cultural, academic, social, and moral values and beliefs which serve as a strong anchor for the school leadership and management, and without which St Michael's as an organisation would be unable to meet the challenge of implementing academic and national reconstruction.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since the beginning of the HIV epidemic in the early 1980s, men who have sex with men (MSM) have been disproportionately affected by the virus. Sex between men is the main route of transmission of HIV in some parts of the world. In some other places it is a secondary route of transmission. Worldwide, MSM are classified as most-at-risk populations because of their higher risk of HIV transmission. Although sex between men occurs in most societies, its existence, importance in HIV prevention are frequently denied. Often, these men are neglected in HIV prevention interventions. Sexual acts between men have often been condemned and sometimes criminalized. In some countries, penalties for those accused of sexual acts between men are among the severest available. Elsewhere, even where same-sex behaviour is not illegal, there is frequently unofficial persecution by the authorities or discrimination against or stigmatisation of those men known or thought to be having sexual relations with other men. For these reasons, in many parts of the world, sex between men is hidden or secretive. This makes an assessment of its extent, and of the various types of sexual acts that occur, even more difficult. As a result of being neglected, there has been generally lack of research and services directed towards MSM. In sub-Saharan Africa, for instance, it was only over 10 years ago, in 2001, when the first behavioural survey among MSM was conducted. However, few countries have conducted such studies and MSM’s specific health needs, especially for HIV prevention, are still not being met. In most countries, like Swaziland, the HIV prevalence is still generalized. Although Swaziland bears the burden the highest HIV prevalence in the world at 26% for the age group 15-49 (UNAIDS, 2010), interventions to MSM and other most-at-risk populations are limited. The study’s main aim was to identify the prevention needs of MSM in Swaziland. A total of 50 MSM were interviewed in order to find information. In addition, five key informants who were managers of HIV prevention programmes were also interviewed. It was established that there is a gap between the MSM’s needs and the interventions currently available. There were factors that put MSM at risk for HIV infection that were identified by the study. It was established that some of the HIV prevention did not meet the specific needs and expectations of MSM. Knowledge on some HIV risk behaviours and some prevention strategies targeting MSM was limited.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert die begin van die MIV-epidemie in die vroeë 1980's, het die mans wat seks het met mans (MSM) is buite verhouding beïnvloed deur die virus. Seks tussen mans is die belangrikste roete van die oordrag van MIV in sommige dele van die wêreld. In sommige ander plekke is dit is 'n sekondêre roete van oordrag. Wêreldwyd, MSM word geklassifiseer as die meeste-at-Risk bevolking as gevolg van hul hoër risiko van MIV-oordrag. Alhoewel seks tussen mans in die meeste samelewings voorkom, word dikwels sy bestaan, belang in MIV-voorkoming geweier. Dikwels word hierdie manne verwaarloos in MIV-voorkoming intervensies. Seksuele dade tussen mans dikwels veroordeel en soms gekriminaliseer. In sommige lande, strawwe vir diegene wat beskuldig word van seksuele dade tussen mans is onder die ergste beskikbaar. Elders, selfs waar van dieselfde geslag gedrag nie onwettig is nie, is daar dikwels nie-amptelike vervolging deur die owerhede of diskriminasie of stigmatisering van daardie manne wat bekend is of gedink word om seksuele verhoudings met ander mans. Vir hierdie redes, seks tussen mans, in baie dele van die wêreld is verborge of geheimsinnig. Dit maak 'n assessering van die omvang, en van die verskillende tipes van seksuele dade wat plaasvind, nog moeiliker. As 'n gevolg van verwaarloos, is daar gewoonlik gebrek aan navorsing en dienste gerig op MSM. In sub-Sahara Afrika, byvoorbeeld, dit was net meer as 10 jaar gelede, in 2001, toe die eerste gedrags-opname onder MSM is uitgevoer. Egter, het 'n paar lande uitgevoer sodanige studies en MSM se spesifieke gesondheid behoeftes, veral vir MIV-voorkoming, is nog steeds nie bereik word nie. In die meeste lande, soos Swaziland, die voorkoms van MIV is nog steeds algemene. Hoewel Swaziland dra die las om die hoogste voorkoms van MIV in die wêreld op 26% vir die ouderdomsgroep 15-49 (UNAIDS, 2010), intervensies MSM en ander die meeste-op-risiko bevolkings is beperk. Die studie se hoofdoel was om die voorkoming van MSM te identifiseer in Swaziland. 'N totaal van 50 MSM is ondervra ten einde inligting te vind. Daarbenewens is ook vyf sleutel informante wat bestuurders van die voorkoming van MIV-programme ondervra. Daar is vasgestel dat daar is 'n gaping tussen die MSM se behoeftes en die intervensies wat tans beskikbaar is. Daar is faktore wat sit MSM 'n risiko vir MIV-infeksie wat deur die studie geïdentifiseer is. Daar is vasgestel dat sommige van die MIV-voorkoming het nie voldoen aan die spesifieke behoeftes en verwagtinge van MSM. Kennis op 'n aantal MIV-risiko gedrag en 'n paar voorkoming strategieë fokus MSM is beperk.

Abstract:

This research examines the interrelationships between customary and statutory tenure systems in Swaziland, in relation to urban development. It also focuses on the assumptions, aspirations and practices of modern and traditional authorities in relation to the processes of urban development. The Swaziland Urban Development Project (SUDP) initiated in the late 1980's, to upgrade informal settlements of Swaziland's cities, is used to examine the extent to which these land tenure interrelationships impact on the residents and the upgrading of informal settlements. Implementation of the SUDP (insitu upgrading) in Manzini, only took place in 2007 – a decade after the original planned commencement date. This was because the traditional leaders of the informal settlements of Moneni area (an area where the project would be piloted), did not accept the project. Since the Government and the Municipal Council of Manzini did not want to use force (Municipal Council of Manzini, 2004) it entered into further negotiations. This study investigates why the project was not accepted, examines the role of the traditional leaders in the non-acceptance of the project and the changes in attitudes towards the project in 2007. In the process, it explores the diverse responses to the SUDP and the processes of negotiation between the traditional and urban authorities, demonstrating how both authorities fought for retention of their authority over the area and also for their own vision of 'development'. Such contestation resulted in protracted discussions on the part of the urban authorities, whilst the issue of authority remains inconclusive. To investigate the impact of these interactions on the residents of the informal settlements, the study interrogates the assumptions of the development planners (project officials from Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (MHUD), City Councils and the World Bank) with regard to the benefits of the project. The different understandings of development priorities, different assumptions about the outcomes of the SUDP and the complex interactions that occur between formal and traditional structures have undermined efforts to improve living conditions of the urban residents. This study demonstrates that these assumptions of policy-makers and planners and their aspirations are colonially inherent and based on western thinking about modernisation. The implementation of grandiose plans and the making of a beautiful city are pursued, whilst residents lament that from their perspective there is ‘no development'. In addition, the study takes cognisance of social differentiation - separately examining how women in the project area were affected by the project. This study therefore demonstrates that the main challenge underlying the process of improving the living conditions of informal settlements' residents is the existence of different urban land tenure systems, managed by various authorities namely; urban authorities (government, municipalities) and traditional authorities, both asserting their legitimacy over the areas.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 243-256).
This thesis is an ethnographic study of the early literacy development of four children from low-income families in and around Manzini, Swaziland. It investigated the orientations to literacy, language, and communication that children brought to school from home, vice versa, and the sorts of consequences that such traversing of sites has for the children's literacy development and schooling. It is the first study of literacy and children's literacy carried out in Swaziland from a socio-cultural perspective. The study joins a growing body of New Literacy Studies research into the social practices that shape children's early literacy learning and a smaller body of such work from Africa. I used evidence from four children's home and school literacy lives, systematically collected by means of in-depth ethnographic case studies and used an interpretive analytical frame of enquiry. This study breaks with previous research in Swaziland by detailing the situated ways that reading and writing happen in specific socio-cultural contexts.

Problematizando os efeitos ecológicos não só de ordem ambiental, mas também social e mental, do habitar humano em um planeta que passa por intensas transformações, a presente pesquisa explora o campo do Design Estratégico para a Sustentabilidade, a fim de mapear seus conceitos mais relevantes e extrair do seu discurso manifesto o conteúdo subjacente que os engendra, destacando especial atenção às questões estruturantes e às forças políticas que os formalizam. Para tanto, selecionamos parte da obra de um autor em especial, o professor italiano Ezio Manzini, como o principal sintetizador de conceitos desta nova área de pesquisa, assim como a de alguns interlocutores privilegiados por suas conexões com o método utilizado - a cartografia esquizoanalítica - e pela proximidade com o eixo temático ecológico: a Ecosofia de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari e a Ecologia Cognitiva de Pierre Lévy. Ao fim, propomos algumas mudanças na rede de conceitos mapeada, com o objetivo de singularizar o percurso teóricoprojetual do nascente campo do Design Estratégico para a Sustentabilidade
Questioning the ecological effects, not only from environmental view but also from social and mental of human habitation in a planet that passes through deep transformation, this research explores the area of Strategic Design for Sustainability, in order to map its most relevant concepts and get from its manifest discourse the underlying content that engenders them, emphasizing a special attention to the structured questions and to the political motives that formalize them. For this, we selected part of a special author?s research, the Italian teacher Ezio Manzini, as the main concept synthesizer of this new research area, as well as an area of some speakers who were privileged by their connection with the used method - schizoanalitic cartography - and also by the nearness with the ecological thematic line: the Ecosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari and the Cognitive Ecology of Pierre Lévy. Summing up, we proposed some changes in the concept web that was mapped with the objective of singularizing the theoretical-project course of the Strategic Design's new area for Sustainability.

Abstract:

A travers le biais de la memoire, ce travail suit des itineraires de femmes - de l'unite italienne au neo-feminisme-dela maison, espace feminin traditionnel, et espace specifique pour la femme elle-meme (la maison comme un ventre maternel), jusqu'au "monde" trouble de cette fin de millenaire : la "storia" d'un quotidien qui rend compte cependant de la violence du siecle. La maison etant fonction d'un imaginaire social autant que domestique, quitter la maison repond a une double necessite pour les femmes: dystopie de la maison comme vaine protection et volonte de participer a la gestion du monde. La specificite feminine se signale par une apprehension particuliere de l'espace-demeure ou p. E. La phobie des caves eclaire l'impossible retour a la mere. L'ere des ruptures avec la mere sonne dans les annees soixantedix, les "meres-mauvaises" apparaissent avec la revendication du fait feminin. La memoire de l'histoire permet enfin de confirmer qu'a la dystopie de la maison correspond l'utopie d'un monde different. Avec la recherche d"autre chose" qui integre la fonction maternelle, la responsabilite de la femme qui cherche non pas a conquerir le monde, mais a l"habiter", le rendre vivable. La crise des ideologies, percue par les femmes avant les hommes se colore d'une aspiration a la "vraie justice", selon la loi d'antigone : la loi du sang contre la loi ecrite
Through the indirect means of memory, this work follows women's routes - from italian unity to neo-feminism - from the house, traditional female space, ans specific space for woman herself (the house as a mother's womb) to the confused "word" of this end of millenary : "storia" of an everyday life which, nevertheless, renders an account of the century violence. The house acts as a social as vell as domestic imaginary, therefore, leaving the house answers a dual necessity for women : dystopia of the house as a useless protection and a will to partecipate in the world management. The female character signalizes itself by a particuliar understanding of the living space where the phobia of cellars may throw a light upon the impossible return to the mother. The time to break with mothers comes in the seventies, "the bad mothers "appearing with the claim for feminine reality. Then the memory of history allows a confirmation of a correspondence between the dystopia of the house and the utopia of a different word. With the search for "something else" which includes maternal fonction, the responsability of women who want not to conquer the world but to "live" in it, to make possible to live in. The crisis of ideoligies that women perceived before men, colours with an aspiration for "real justice" according to antigone's law : the law of blood against written law

Abstract:

La presente tesi di dottorato è il primo studio complessivo sui rapporti di Alessandro Manzoni con la cultura anglosassone, considerati nelle due direzioni: da una parte, le possibili influenze della letteratura inglese sulle sue opere, dall’altra la fortuna dell’autore in Gran Bretagna e negli Stati Uniti nell’Ottocento. Manzoni, infatti, non fu complessivamente incompreso o ignorato nei paesi anglosassoni, come ritenevano alcuni studiosi. Al contrario: personaggi importanti del mondo letterario e culturale apprezzavano e citavano le sue opere, e le numerose traduzioni, recensioni, antologie e libri sull’Italia testimoniano che questo autore era noto tra il pubblico colto. Tra gli episodi più importanti della fortuna di Manzoni nell’Inghilterra vittoriana si possono ricordare: due recensioni di Mary Shelley, influenzata dalla prospettiva risorgimentale (che era in realtà ambivalente verso Manzoni); e un romanzo della scrittrice Charlotte Yonge, legata al movimento di Oxford, che apprezzava particolarmente "I promessi sposi" per i valori cristiani. Negli Stati Uniti, i pregi del romanzo erano riconosciuti da intellettuali attenti alla cultura italiana contemporanea, come Emerson e Margaret Fuller.
This dissertation is the first overall study on Alessandro Manzoni’s relationship with the English-speaking world, considered along both lines: possible influences from English literature on Manzoni’s works, and Manzoni’s reception in Great Britain and the United States in the XIXth century. Manzoni was not ignored or misunderstood in those countries, as some critics believed. On the contrary, distinguished men and women from the literary and cultural world read, liked and quoted his works. Indeed, the great number of translations, reviews, anthologies and books on Italy dealing with Manzoni testifies that the Italian author was well-known among the educated reading public. Two important episodes of Manzoni’s reception in Victorian England can be mentioned: two reviews by Mary Shelley, who was influenced by the issues of the Italian Risorgimento (not totally sympathetic with Manzoni); a novel by Charlotte Yonge, the novelist of the Oxford movement, who admired Manzoni’s "Promessi sposi" for its Christian values. In the United States, the merits of Manzoni’s work were acknowledged by Emerson and Margaret Fuller, who showed interest and consideration for the contemporary Italian culture.

Abstract:

La thèse, divisée en trois parties, constitue une introduction à l’univers musical de Giacomo Manzoni (Milan, 1932). La première partie aborde huit dimensions de l’œuvre du compositeur dans une perspective analytique (matériau, temps, dynamique, timbre, forme, figures sonores, espace et texte). Dans la deuxième partie, où figure une étude de Per Massimiliano Robespierre (1974) et de Doktor Faustus (1988), sont présentés les principaux axes de sa poétique : l’engagement et l’innovation. La dernière partie conceptualise la notion de matiérisme en tant que fondement de sa praxis compositionnelle. À ce propos, Atomtod (1964), sa troisième œuvre pour le théâtre musical, a été analysée. Des documents inédits, dont des esquisses de ses œuvres et une correspondance avec Luigi Nono, ont été commentés tout au long de la thèse. Les annexes incluent un catalogue chronologique et thématique des œuvres du compositeur, une édition critique bilingue des textes mis en musique, la traduction de son dernier livre (Parole per musica) et une discographie
This thesis, which consists of three parts, represents an introduction to Giacomo Manzoni’s (Milan, 1932) musical ideas. First part deals with eight dimensions of his work from an analytical point of view (material, time, dynamics, timbre, form, sound shapes, space and text). In the second part, which contains an analysis of Per Massimiliano Robespierre (1974) and Doktor Faustus (1988), two main axes of his poetics were examined: commitment and innovation. Last part conceptualizes the notion of materialism in his poetics, as it constitutes the basis of his musical praxis. To this end, Atomtod (1964), his third work for the stage, was analysed. Unpublished documents, like sketches of his works and a correspondence with Luigi Nono, were commented throughout the thesis. Appendices include a chronological and thematic catalogue of his works, a bilingual critical edition of the texts which he set to music, a French translation of his last book (Parole per musica) and a discography

Abstract:

Piero Manzoni (1933-1963) is one of the best-known and under-theorized artists in all of postwar Europe. His body of work includes a range of practices from monochrome painting to readymade objects, from participatory sculpture to designs for architecture. More than simply innovative in its form and media, however, Manzoni's practice articulates a politics of the body and of the self that departs radically from the belief systems at stake in the work of his contemporaries in both Europe and America. If other postwar artists still claimed access to transcendence, to nature, or to autonomous subjectivity, Manzoni responds with works that reveal the body and the self as material and discursive effects of power relations.

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to unfold the concept of the ‘degree zero art’ as an artistic and cultural project as manifested in the practices of two very different artists, Milan-based Piero Manzoni (Soncino 1933- Milan 1963) and Rio-born Hélio Oiticica (Rio de Janeiro 1937-1980), during the second half of the twentieth century. Despite the clear contrasts between their works and their very different cultural formations, the thesis focuses on these artists in order to show how their practices align around the challenge to aesthetic categories, stylistic labels and political frameworks employed by much recent critical literature. In order to discuss intellectual and critical structures developed to narrate varieties of North American conceptual practices, this thesis proposes a new interpretative frame: a ‘degree zero aesthetics’, creating a transnational dialogue between the work of Manzoni and Oiticica. Borrowing from the understanding of zero proposed by the German Zero group at the beginning of the sixties, I argue that the idea of zero denotes a fresh start and constructive will; it therefore explains the process of erasing and rebuilding from scratch that has characterised the post-war generation. Alongside the process of construing an aesthetic around the notion of ‘zero’, this thesis aims to deconstruct popular sites of discourse around the tropes of ‘participation’ and ‘politics’, critically readdressing the historiography surrounding these themes. Lastly, this project attempts to discuss the literature on both artists, who have become paradigmatic of certain key movements and moments in Latin American and European art respectively, and in recent elaborations of global art histories.

Abstract:

Il lavoro nasce come prosecuzione del saggio del Professor Langella "Manzoni poeta teologo". Consta di tre parti: una iniziale rassegna critica fa quasi da pretesto per trovare assetto e convergenza metodologica. Il secondo capitolo ripercorre due grandi questioni biografiche manzoniane (conversione e giansenismo). Il terzo capitolo, eminentemente stilistico, contiene anche una riflessione sul valore della similitudine in Manzoni. Schedate in appendice tutte le similitudini del "Fermo e Lucia" e dei "Promessi Sposi".
Dr. Raffaella’s Battaglini’s work was born as an ideal completion of Professor Langella's essay "Manzoni poeta teologo". The present essay is evidently threefold: the critical review at the beginning functions almost as a way - we might even say a pretext – to find the right methodological approach for the entire work. The biographical overview is focused on the knots of Manzoni’s conversion on one hand, and of his Jansenism on the other. A sort of status quaestionis of Manzoni’s Jansenism is presented in the Second Chapter. The final stylistic analysis – which was initially supposed to appear at the beginning of the essay – has undoubtedly great qualities and reveals Dr. Raffaella Battaglini’s talent. The monographic study of the simile summarizes and revives many of the remarks (Trompeo, Petrocchi, Cerisola, Raimondi can be quoted among others) that the critical corpus about Manzoni has often pointed out but not always fully developped. The approach to the text is easy without being ingenuous, the remarks are always thoughtful, the prose is fluent and lively. The final appendix about simile, patiently composed, happily fulfills a literary whole contemplari et aliis contemplata tradere.

La manzana peruana, tiene en la actualidad el complejo reto de hacer atractiva una cadena productiva no integrada y que brinda escasa rentabilidad para el primer eslabón de la cadena, el productor/agricultor. Compuesta principalmente por intermediarios y mayoristas que han mostrado intereses personales a través de precios poco sostenibles, la cadena productiva de la manzana carece de una una visión integral capaz de generar sinergia en cada una de sus etapas. Por este motivo, los agricultores están cada vez menos motivados para continuar cultivando o impulsar a la manzana peruana, la cual es poco apreciada tanto en el mercado nacional como internacional. El Plan Estratégico propuesto en la presente investigación para el logro de la Visión al 2023, se basa en los siguiente pilares:(a) Promover la asociatividad de productores, (b) Desarrollar y difundir nuevas tecnologías agrícolas de bajo costo, (c) Desarrollar el cultivo y consumo de productos orgánicos, (d) Medir y mejorar de calidad de la manzana Peruana, (e) Optimizar la cadena productiva, (f) Planificar la producción nacional-anual de manzana, (g) Incrementar el rendimiento por hectárea y las áreas cosechadas de manzana, (h) Promover el consumo de manzana a través del Gobierno, (i) Brindar mayor rentabilidad, ingresos y calidad de vida a los participantes de la cadena productiva. La mezcla de estos pilares y el saber aprovechar la ventaja comparativa de una producción continua durante el año, permitirá que el consumidor acceda a una oferta de fruta fresca, en comparación con importada. Finalmente, la manzana puede brindar la oportunidad de ser un potencial país exportador a aquellos destinos cuya demanda no es cubierta por las ventanas estacionales de sus actuales proveedores; brindando una fruta fresca que cumple con las exigencias de calidad de los mercados en el extranjero

Abstract:

La ricerca ha approfondito il rapporto esistente tra l’ambito della parola e quello del pensiero in Alessandro Manzoni. Essa è stata articolata in due versanti: uno prevalentemente teorico denominato la parola nel pensiero dove è chiarita la Weltanschauung manzoniana sul tema in questione, l’altro sostanzialmente pratico, il pensiero nella parola, concernente l’analisi testuale delle opere letterarie e filosofiche di Manzoni. Per il primo versante, fatta luce sulla consistenza delle riflessioni filosofiche manzoniane, sui contenuti essenziali del suo pensiero e, in essi, sull’importante ruolo assunto dalla riflessione linguistica, si sono indagati gli intimi meandri speculativi inerenti il linguaggio e la parola. Per il secondo versante ci si è fatti guidare dalla riflessione manzoniana che «la parola offre intuiti al pensiero» ed «estende la cognizione» per analizzare i testi letterari non come semplici ‘concretizzazioni’ di idee precedenti, ma come ‘fucine di pensiero’. È interessante notare come le pagine letterarie, offrendo «intuiti al pensiero», precedano e incarnino quelle filosofiche e come al contempo, alla luce delle speculazioni filosofiche, le pagine letterarie acquistino maggiore profondità, in un innovativo rapporto di circolo ermeneutico, che vede nella parola letteraria ‘rivelativa’ un momento fondamentale del processo creativo e conoscitivo del Manzoni, aprendo così la strada ad ulteriori studi.
The research is an in-depth study about the relationship between word and thought in Alessandro Manzoni. It has been structured in two different parts: the first part, mainly theoretic, called la parola nel pensiero, where is clearly defined Manzoni’s Weltanschauung about this theme, the second part, basically practical, called il pensiero nella parola, concerning the textual analysis of the literary and the philosophical works by Manzoni. On the one side, after clarifying the foundation of the philosophical reflections by Manzoni, the essential contents of his thought and the important role of the linguistic thinking inside them, the last deep speculative aspects related to the language and the word have been investigated. On the other side, Manzoni’s reflection “la parola offre intuiti al pensiero” and “estende la cognizione” has been the starting point to review the literary works not only like simple forms of previous ideas but also like a breeding ground for thought. It’s interesting to notice that the literary pages offering “intuiti al pensiero”, come before and exemplify the philosophical ones and at the same time, thanks to the philosophical speculations, they gain depth inside an innovative hermeneutic circle which considers the literary word “rivelativa” a fundamental moment of the creative and cognitive process by Manzoni, opening the way for further studies.

Se evaluó el período de protección de phosmet (Imidan 70WP), acetamiprid (Mospilan SP) y metidation (Supracid 40WP) para Cydia pomonella en manzanos variedad Pink lady en precosecha. Se realizó la aplicación el 25 de abril del 2011 con una motopulverizadora y a los 7, 14, 21 y 28 días post-aplicación se cosecharon 100 frutos por cada tratamiento los cuales fueron infestados en el laboratorio con una larva neonata de C. pomonella por fruto. La evaluación del daño se realizó a los 7 días después de la infestación. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques aleatorizados con 5 tratamientos, 4 repeticiones y 25 manzanas por unidad muestral. Los resultados expresados en % de frutos dañados fueron normalizados mediante la transformación angular de Bliss, y sometidos a ANDEVA y a la prueba de comparación múltiple de Tukey. De acuerdo a las condiciones en que se realizó el estudio metidation obtuvo un mayor control de las larvas seguido por phosmet a 130 g/hL y acetamiprid, por ultimo phosmet a 80g/hL. Con una exigencia de control del 99% se concluyó que acetamiprid (Mospilan SP) a 40 g/hL presentó un período de protección no superior a 7 días, metidation (Supracid 40WP) a 100 g/hL y phosmet (Imidan 70WP) a 80 y 130 g/hL presentaron un período de protección entre 7 a 14 días.
The protection period aforded by phosmet (Imidan 70WP), acetamiprid (Mospilan SP) and metidation (Supracid 40WP) against Cydia pomonella to ‘Pink Lady’ apple trees was assessed at preharvest. Applications were carried out with a motorized sprayer and at 7, 14, 21 and 28 post-application days 100 fruits per treatment were harvested and later infested at the laboratory with one first instar larva per fruit. Damage evaluation was carried out 7 days after each infestation. A randomized block design with 5 treatments, 4 replications and 25 apples per experimental unit was used. Results expressed in percent of damaged fruits were normalized by means of Bliss angular transformation and subjected to ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple range test. According to the experimental conditions methidathion got more control of the larvae followed by phosmet 130 g/hL and acetamiprid, finally phosmet at 80 g/hL. With a 99% control requirement, it was concluded that treatments with acetamiprid (Mospilan SP) at 40 g/hL presented a protection period not beyond 7 days. Metidation (Supracid 40 WP) at 100 g/hL, while phosmet (Imidan 70WP) at 80 and 130 g/hL, respectively, afforded protection of 7 to 14 days.

Le thème de la moralitélittéraire offre un point de vue intéressant sur le rapport dynamique – et largement inexploré – deManzoni à l’égard des auteurs reconnus de philosophie morale du XVIIe siècle français. En fortesyntonie avec ces derniers sur des contenus étiques et religieux, et des questions de méthode et delangue, Manzoni mena une analyse passionnée du statut moral des lettres, dans un dialogue directavec des censeurs qu’on n’avait jamais démenti. Cette étude porte donc à démontrer que sa réponse,esquissée dans un discours critique inachevé, arriva par le biais même de son oeuvre, par laquelle ilproposait une façon de représenter les passions comme une noble fonction cognitive, avec unvocabulaire qui se réfère largement au lexique des orateurs mêmes, dont les sermons conservés danssa bibliothèque montrent d’importants signes de lecture. Cette étude, qui commence avec unevérification documentaire, est structurée en deux parties. La première se compose d’un chapitre dédiéaux positions sur la moralité de la littérature entre le XVIIe et le XIXe siècle, suivi de trois autres oùnous analysons le langage manzonien des passions par mots clés (l’orgueil, l’amour-passion et lacolère), orientés par les traités du XVIIe siècle, les tragédies de Corneille, Racine et Shakespearecommentées par Manzoni, ainsi que les textes du dramaturge et romancier. La deuxième partie secompose d’un lexique manzonien de la vie morale
By accusing the theatre of teaching the dangerous «language of passions», Pierre Nicole gave ajudgment of which Manzoni would have thought for a long time. The subject of literary moralityoffers an interesting view of Manzoni’s relationship – dynamic and largely unexplored – with thebeloved authors of the French 17th century moral philosophy. Being in strong syntony with them inethical and religious issues, as well as in questions of method and language, Manzoni carried out apassionate analysis on the role of literature, in a direct dialogue with censors, who, according to him,hadn’t received a convincing answer to that point of time. This study shows that Manzoni’s response,outlined in an unfinished speech, proposed a concrete way of representing passions, not as futile andtoxic divertissement, but with a noble cognitive function. We attempt to show that Manzoni’slanguage owes much to the moralists themselves, «deep and keen observers of the human heart»,whose sermons, stored on the shelves of Manzoni’s library, contain various signs of reading.Concieved as a philological and documentary analysis of these texts, the thesis is structured in twoparts. The first one consist of a chapter that deals with the 17th-19th centuries positions on literarymorality, and other three chapters which are dedicated to Manzoni’s vocabulary of pride, love-passionand anger. This analysis takes into account the 17th century moral treaties, the tragedies of Corneille,Racine and Shakespeare, all commented by Manzoni, and Manzoni’s playwright and novelist’sproduction. The second part consists of an essay dealing with a Manzonian lexicon of the words ofthe moral life

Abstract:

Hoy en día, las ciudades se han convertido en focos estratégicos para el desarrollo de las comunidades locales y esto ha fomentado que las agendas urbanas de cada gobierno alcancen a millones de personas todos los días. En el Perú, más del 75% de la población vive en zonas urbanas, esto agudiza la importancia de proyectar mejores ciudades hacia el futuro. Pero, generalmente la clase política no atiende la planificación urbana debido a la demora en los resultados y a los altos costos –económicos y sociales- de implementación. El parámetro urbanístico es un documento oficial que regula la construcción en Lima. Está vigente hace más de cincuenta años y no ha sido capaz de recoger la diversidad tipológica propia del tejido limeño de lotes, construyendo una ciudad fragmentada, irregular e individualista. Hoy en día, las ciudades más habitables en el mundo buscan ser cada vez más compactas, inclusivas y transitables. Se necesitan nuevos instrumentos o nuevas técnicas que permitan planificar ciudades, alejándonos de los grandes proyectos por sistemas replicables en distintas condiciones sociales, geográficas y culturales. La presente investigación proyectual plantea una alternativa al planeamiento urbano tradicional, incorporando lógicas urbanas contemporáneas por medio del empoderamiento de la población. La utilización de Superlotes como herramienta de escala parcial para el desarrollo de la ciudad

Abstract:

Luego de ocurrido el terremoto en Febrero del año 2010 me uní rápidamente al grupo de trabajo de Yungay como arquitecta y me dediqué al catastro de daños y evaluación de viviendas en el Barrio Yungay. Así, es que conozco la situación del inmueble ubicado en la esquina norponiente de las calles Portales y Libertad. UN INMUEBLE FISCAL ABANDONADO Y DETERIORADO QUE ES HABITADO POR 53 PERSONAS EN SITUACIÓN OCUPA, EN SU MAYORÍA INMIGRANTES. Este inmueble se encuentra ocupado en sus dos niveles por dieciocho familias, desde aproximadamente tres años, que viven en condiciones precarias de salubridad y hacinamiento. Las características funcionales de la vivienda no cumplen con las condiciones mínimas para absorber dicha ocupación, no cuenta con los servicios sanitarios suficientes ni adecuados, junto con que el estado general de mantención de la propiedad es deficiente y más aún después del terremoto del año recién pasado. En la puerta del inmueble hay un rayado con spray que dice: “peruanos váyanse a su país”. Continuo al inmueble, sitios eriazos y construcciones deterioradas. El inmueble y su entorno me parecieron un reflejo de la problemática que aqueja a la recientemente declarada Zona Típica (ZT) Barrio Yungay, Brasil y alrededores. Problemática que quise abordar para esta ocasión. Problemática que en este proyecto de título se revierte en OPORTUNIDAD, DE ACTUALIZACIÓN URBANA A PARTIR DE LA INTEGRACIÓN SOCIAL. El ejercicio de realizar un proyecto de título invita a desarrollar motivaciones personales con propósitos ideológicos en base a problemáticas reales. En este sentido, este proyecto me permite proponer una actualización de una parte de un barrio patrimonial deteriorado (una manzana) a partir de la integración de sus habitantes y del desarrollo de su cultura. Desde esta perspectiva, el proyecto invita a repensar la ciudad y a entender la arquitectura de manera integral, no como piezas objetuales e individuales conformes a la rentabilidad de lo que se construye, si no que acorde al territorio y sus habitantes.

Abstract:

À partir de l'analyse de la correspondance inédite entre auteur et éditeur, on a tracé le profil de trois femmes écrivains - Sibilla Aleramo, Gianna Manzini, Alba de Céspedes - qui ont été protagonistes de la société littéraire de Rome au Vingtième siècle. L'examen du rapport avec leur éditeur, Arnoldo Mondadori, a été tracé à côté de l'histoire de leurs textes et à l'analyse de la présentation éditoriale qu'ils ont eu et qui fournit des éléments utiles pour reconstruire des moments de l'histoire de l'édition littéraire italienne, saisie dans les transformations qu'elle a eu au cours de cinquante ans (à partir des années Vingt jusqu'aux années Soixantes-dix). Le profil intellectuel et biographique de ces femmes écrivains a été enrichi, en outre, par l'analyse de la correspondance avec leurs traducteurs et éditeurs français, et avec des écrivains et intellectuels français, dans le cadre général de leur diffusion en France et de leurs relations avec la culture littéraire française
Starting from the analysis of unedited correspondence between writer and editor, the profile of three authors has been reformed - Sibilla Aleramo, Gianna Manzini, Alba de Céspedes - who have been protagonists of the Roman literary society of the twentieth century. The examination of the relationship with their editor, Arnoldo Mondadori, was placed aide by aide with the story of their text and with the analysis of the editorial presentation which took place. This analysis provides us with useful elements in reconstructing moments, of the history of publishing literature, which were mainly derived from the transformation it underwent over a fifty year period (from the 20's to 70's). Moreover, the intellectuel and biographical profile of these authors has been enriched by the analysis of the correspondence with their French translator and editors, within the scene of their circulation in France and their relationship with French intellectuels, and on the whole with the French literary culture

Esta dissertação discute a teorização e a prática do romance histórico oitocentista por Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), tanto em sua produção ensaística (em especial Del romanzo storico, de 1850) quanto naquela literária em I promessi sposi [Os noivos] (1842). Para isto, discuto a compreensão contemporânea de “romance histórico” a partir dos entendimentos correntes quanto aos gêneros literários, buscando uma solução na defesa do romance histórico como uma manifestação artística, geográfica e temporalmente particular de um modo narrativo sempre existente e necessário, que busca conciliar o discurso percebido como histórico (de uma verdade correspondente à realidade) com aquele percebido como ficcional (de uma verdade coerente à expectativa do universo literário narrado); a conhecida crise deste gênero é assim analisada pela sua relação com os debates contemporâneos sobre a historiografia, os quais, por sua vez, dificultam uma clara separação entre histórico e ficcional. O romance de Manzoni é deste modo inserido no jogo de forças entre compromissos históricos e ficcionais que, neste entender, marcou sua prática artística desde a juventude, culminando na obra aqui analisada: esta serviu-lhe ao mesmo tempo de laboratório para este gênero então novo e de veículo para a expressão irônica, fruto de uma rígida ética ao mesmo tempo iluminista e cristã que lhe era peculiar, desta capacidade de conciliar história e ficção
This dissertation discusses the theory and practice of the historical novel of the eighteenth century by Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), both in his essays (in particular Del romanzo storico, 1850) and his novel I promessi sposi [The Betrothed] (1842). Thus, I discuss the contemporary understanding of “historical novel” by the current debates about literary genres, aiming for a solution with the defense of the historical novel as a manifestation, artistically, geographically and temporally particular, of a narrative mode which always existed and has always been necessary, one that aims to conciliate a discourse perceived as historical (related to a truth that corresponds to reality) with one that is perceived as fictional (related to a truth that is consistent with the expectations of the literary universe it narrates); the mu-publicized crisis of this genre is thus considered by its relation to contemporary debates regarding historiography, which, in turn, hinder a clear distinction between history and the fiction. In this sense, Manzoni’s novel is taken as a subject of the struggle between historical and fictional requirements which, according to my view, marked his artistic efforts since his youth, culminating in the novel in exam: it would have served him at the same time as laboratory for this literary genre, at that time new, and as a vehicle for expressing ironically, as a result of his peculiar Enlightenment and Christian ethics, its supposed ability of combining history and fiction

Abstract:

La tesi verte sulla critica manzoniana effettuata dai docenti di letteratura italiana non più in ruolo dell’Università Cattolica: l’attenzione si è concentrata sugli apporti che hanno maggiormente influenzato gli sviluppi successivi, per il loro valore intrinseco, il potenziale innovativo o lo spirito polemico. Ogni capitolo è dedicato a un singolo studioso; dopo una succinta introduzione biografica, si analizzano i principali contributi, raggruppati in modo tale da mantenere una coerenza di argomentazione e armonizzare il criterio contenutistico con quello cronologico delle opere prodotte. Parallelamente si rilevano collegamenti, differenze e punti di contatto fra le diverse opinioni, ma soprattutto gli elementi di originalità di ciascuna a livello di metodologie e strumenti usati, tipologia di critica e di scrittura, orientamento su aspetti specifici dell’opera manzoniana e novità apportate, oggetto delle riflessioni conclusive in chiusura di capitolo. E’ stato anche delineato il rapporto fra i singoli e le varie correnti, ripercorrendo a grandi linee l'evoluzione del pensiero critico italiano nei sec. XIX e XX. La figura e l’opera di Manzoni sono state indagate da un punto di vista ora tematico, ora stilistico, ora linguistico e filologico, tenendo in conto sia la tradizione letteraria italiana, che la cultura europea. Particolare accuratezza è stata riservata alla bibliografia finale.
The paper regards literary critics on Alessandro Manzoni, performed by professors of Università Cattolica: the attention is focused on the most important contributions, for their quality, innovation, polemic meaning. After an introduction, each chapter is dedicated to a single researcher: after a short biographical introduction, fundamental essays in chronological order are examined. In the same time relationships, differences and similarities are noticed, such as methodology, critic trends, writing style. Life and works of Manzoni are investigated from a thematic, stylistic, linguistic and philological point of view, regarding both Italian literary tradition and European culture. Relationship between each researcher and various critical currents is outlined, to range critical thinking evolution in Italy during XIX and XX centuries. Finally, particular care was given to bibliography.

Abstract:

A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo principal organizar a recepção do romance I Promessi Sposi (Os Noivos), de autoria de Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), no Brasil. A narrativa tem como protagonistas os jovens Renzo e Lucia que enfrentam as maiores dificuldades de seu tempo (a carestia, a fome, o domínio estrangeiro, as guerras e a peste no norte da Itália durante o século XVII) para realizar seu matrimonio e é uma das obras-primas da literatura italiana e mundial. Este trabalho estuda as maneiras pelas quais o romance manzoniano aporta em terras brasileiras, é acolhido e permanece como argumento de debates críticos, desde o primeiro registro encontrado por esta investigação até o ano de 2012, data da publicação da última tradução brasileira. Neste sentido, estudaram-se as diversas traduções, edições e adaptações publicadas deste romance no Brasil, atentando seja para a forma como se dá o transporte do texto original italiano para a língua portuguesa, seja para as questões relacionadas ao paratexto, isto é, o cuidado editorial empregado nesses textos. Organizou-se a também a recepção da crítica brasileira a I Promessi Sposi que se deu em forma de livros, capítulos, artigos em jornais, revistas e periódicos científicos, verbetes de enciclopédias e nos Boletins do Instituto Brasileiro Estudos Manzonianos. Da coleta e análise desse material buscou-se traçar o perfil que a recepção a I Promessi Sposi conferiu a Manzoni e sua obra-prima no Brasil.
The present research has as the main objective of organizing the reception of the novel The Betrothed, from Alessandro Manzonis authorship (1785-1873), in Brazil. The narrative presents as protagonists the young Renzo and Lucia who encounter the greatest difficulties of their time (inflation, hunger, the foreigner domination, the wars and the plague in the north of Italy during the XVII century) to make their wedding happen and it is one of the masterpieces of the world and Italian Literature. This thesis studies the manners by which the Manzonian novel arrives in Brazilian lands, is accepted and remains as argument of critic debates, since the first record found by this investigation until the year 2012, the publishing date of the last Brazilian translation. In this sense, diverse translations, editions and adaptations published of this novel in Brazil were studied, noticing the way the original Italian text was transferred into the Portuguese language, and the issue related to the paratext, namely, the editorial care used in these texts. The Brazilian critic reception of the Betrothed that happened in book form, chapters, newspaper articles, magazines and scientific journals, encyclopedia entries and the newsletters of the Manzonian Studies Brazilian Institute were also organized. From the gathering and analysis of these materials we searched to outline the profile that the reception of The Betrothed granted Manzoni and his masterpiece in Brazil.

Abstract:

Memoria para optar al título profesional de Ingeniero Agrónomo
La sarna del manzano causada por Venturia inaequalis es la enfermedad más importante del manzano en Chile y a nivel mundial, y su control está basado principalmente en el uso de fungicidas. En los últimos años se ha observado en Chile una aparente disminución del nivel de control de la enfermedad con los fungicidas comúnmente utilizados con este propósito y se especula sobre una posible pérdida de sensibilidad de poblaciones del patógeno. Durante las temporadas 2006-2009, se obtuvo una colección de 128 cepas del patógeno que provino de hojas de manzanos infectados con sarna recolectadas entre las regiones VII y IX. Se realizaron pruebas de sensibilidad a los fungicidas mancozeb, difenoconazole, fenarimol y pyrimethanil en aislados monoconidiales de cepas silvestres del patógeno con el objetivo de elaborar curvas basales de sensibilidad y compararlas con la sensibilidad de aislados monoconidiales provenientes de seis huertos comerciales sin evidencias de resistencia práctica. La sensibilidad en las pruebas in vitro se midió como la inhibición de crecimiento miceliar (difenoconazole, fenarimol, y pyrimethanil) ó la inhibición de la germinación de conidias (mancozeb). A partir de los resultados obtenidos se propusieron dosis discrimininatorias de 0,04; 1,0; 0,6; y 0,2 μg mL-1 para difenoconazole, fenarimol, mancozeb y pyrimethanil, respectivamente. La población de huertos comerciales estudiada presentó una menor sensibilidad a los fungicidas difenoconazole, fenarimol y mancozeb con valores de factor de resistencia 4,7; 5,8 y 2,1, respectivamente. La mayor diferencia de sensibilidad entre la población silvestre y la de huerto se observó en fenarimol, fungicida para el cual la población de aislados de huerto presentó el mayor cambio hacia una menor sensibilidad. Por el contrario, para pyrimethanil, la población de huerto no evidenció pérdida significativa de sensibilidad en relación a la población basal.
Apple scab caused by Venturia Inaequalis is the most important disease of apples worldwide, and its control is primarily based on fungicides. In recent years an apparent disease control failure has been observed in Chile. A potential loss of fungicide sensitivity from pathogen populations is speculated. A collection of 128 strains were isolated from diseased leaves collected between VII and IX regions, during 2006 to 2009. Sensitivity tests to the fungicides mancozeb, difenoconazole, fenarimol, and pyrimethanil were conducted on wild isolates to build local baseline sensitivity distributions and to compare with the sensitivity of strains from six different commercial orchards without evidence of practical resistance. In vitro tests were measured as inhibition of mycelial growth or conidial germination (mancozeb). Discriminatory doses of 0.04; 1.0; 0.6; and 0.2 μg mL-1 were proposed according to the in vitro monitoring of sensitivity to difenoconazole, fenarimol, mancozeb and pyrimethanil, respectively. Departure from the baseline distribution towards less sensitivity was found for difenoconazole, fenarimol and mancozeb with resistance factors of 4.7; 5.8 and 2.1 respectively. The highest difference between baseline and orchard population was observed for fenarimol which showed the higher shift towards less sensitivity. In contrast, pyrimethanil did not show a not significant shift.

Abstract:

La thèse porte sur la représentation de la foule " rebelle " dans la littérature italienne du XIXème siècle. Tout en considérant les contributions des sciences sociales, de Le Bon a l'école lombrosienne de Scipio Sighele et Pasquale Rossi, passant par Freud, jusqu'aux sociologues plus contemporains, comme Reich, Ortega y Gasset, Canetti, Allport, Turner etc, la recherche se concentre sur le roman et la nouvelle, qui voient le jour dans une Italie qui, luttant pour son unité nationale, n'arrive pas a transformer la révolution politique en révolution nationale, selon la formule de Nievo. Manzoni fixe le modèle de représentation des foules rebelles, qui sera suivi par Nievo avec des variations importantes. Ensuite, l'influence de Zola s'ajoutera a celle de Manzoni et dominera, d'une part, l'idée que la foule est capable de montrer un comportement rationnel et d'être un sujet vraiment révolutionnaire (les scapigliati, Valera, De Amicis, etc), d'autre part celle du pessimisme et du destin prédéterminé des masses (Verga). Enfin, Gabriele D'Annunzio, dans ses nouvelles et ses romans, oscillera entre la fascination pour la sauvagerie des foules et son méprise d'aristocratique.

Abstract:

La presente tesi tratta delle analisi di sicurezza delle intersezioni sia esistenti, sia di nuova progettazione. Nel primo capitolo vengono definite le intersezioni secondo il D.M. 19-04-06 âNorme funzionali e geometriche per la costruzione delle intersezioni stradaliâ. Sono descritte le manovre possibili, le problematiche ed i punti di conflitto che si vengono a creare durante lâattraversamento, definendo le varie tipologie. Successivamente si affronta una classificazione tipologica delle intersezioni rappresentando per mezzo di una matrice simbolica tutti i possibili nodi. Questi vengono suddivisi in base alla possibilitÃ di connessione. Ampio spazio Ã¨ dato alla descrizione dellâintersezione a raso dove vengono esaminate le caratteristiche geometriche tra cui le configurazioni delle corsie e le tipologie di isole divisionali. Vengono esaminate le particolaritÃ dellâintersezione semaforizzata definendo il ciclo semaforico e gli elementi che lo compongono, la fasatura, il livello di servizio (LOS), il ritardo, definendo gli elementi che lo compongono per mezzo di formule empiriche. Nella seconda parte del capitolo viene descritta lâintersezione a rotatoria in base al D.M. 19-04-06. Inizialmente si introduce lâargomento con nozioni storiche a carattere informativo, quindi si da una classificazione generale degli elementi che la caratterizzano. Viene descritta lâisola divisionale spiegandone la tipologia costruttiva e rappresentando i parametri di classificazione geometrica. A titolo di esempio sono state inserite varie rappresentazioni di rotatorie suddivise per tipologie costruttive. Nellâultima parte viene affrontato lâelemento rotatoria definendo la distanza di visibilitÃ e i criteri per il calcolo della capacitÃ . Il secondo capitolo parla delle analisi di sicurezza delle intersezioni. Inizialmente viene descritta la circolare 3699 âLinee guida per le analisi di sicurezza delle stradeâ definendo il concetto di analisi di sicurezza ed esaminando le differenze tra le due tipologie di analisi: Road safety review e Road safety audit. In seguito si descrivono gli obbiettivi dellâanalisi di sicurezza, vantaggi e svantaggi e la valutazione dellâapproccio concettuale. Viene descritta piÃ¹ approfonditamente la tipologia del Road safety review evidenziando lâutilitÃ , gli elementi che la caratterizzano, le figure professionali che prendono parte a queste analisi con le azioni che devono seguire. Dopo si analizzano i criteri per affrontare gli studi sulla sicurezza e le fasi per le procedure di analisi. Si procede con la descrizione di una tipologia di ispezione, analizzando le problematiche e la stesura del rapporto di analisi con la descrizione dei tempi di attuazione. Nella parte centrale del capitolo viene descritta la direttiva del parlamento europeo e del consiglio sulla gestione della sicurezza delle infrastrutture stradali con i relativi obbiettivi che si prefigge. Vengono riportati i 13 articoli che si compone con i relativi 4 allegati inerenti a: - Valutazione di impatto sulla sicurezza; - Audit della sicurezza stradale; - Gestione dei tratti stradali ad alto rischio, gestione della sicurezza della rete e ispezione di sicurezza; - Dati che devono figurare nelle relazioni di incidenti. Lâultimo argomento preso in esame riguarda le norme per gli interventi di adeguamento delle strade esistenti. Vengono descritte le categorie di intervento e gli obbiettivi da raggiungere distinguendoli in obbiettivi prestazionali, di funzionalitÃ operativa e sicurezza della circolazione. Vengono affrontate le caratteristiche e le differenze tra interventi strutturali e non strutturali con i relativi obbiettivi valutando gli effetti che si ottengono dallâadeguamento delle strade. Successivamente vengono descritte le campagne di monitoraggio con le relative procedure e tempistiche. Infine si valutano le responsabilitÃ degli interventi. Nel capitolo 3 viene descritta lâanalisi dello stato di fatto. Si Ã¨ proceduto con la classificazione della infrastruttura descrivendo i tratti di strada interessati dallâintervento ed utilizzando delle foto per individuare alcune problematiche emerse nellâintersezione. Utilizzando lâelaborato âazzonamento del territorio comunale di Carpiâ Ã¨ stata descritta la zona oggetto di studio. Poi con la macroclassificazione del territorio con scala 1:10000 viene mostrato graficamente il territorio urbanizzato, in corso di urbanizzazione e a destinazione urbana. Lâultimo elaborato preso in esame riguarda la classificazione acustica del territorio. Infine si Ã¨ proceduto con lâanalisi del traffico e di incidentalitÃ . Utilizzando i dati rilevati dalla polizia municipale del comune di Carpi sono stati costruiti i grafici e studiati gli andamenti nel periodo di tempo di riferimento dal 2000 al 2008. Utilizzando poi i dati dei flussi di traffico si sono analizzati le tipologie e i volumi di traffico nellâintersezione. Nellâultimo capitolo viene studiato il Road safety review dellâintersezione. Si procede con una descrizione generale dellâintersezione, e si prosegue poi con lâindividuazione delle problematiche lungo il tracciato. Inizialmente sono state scattate numerose foto nella zona interessata poi sono state divise per tipologia di problema. Per ogni problema si Ã¨ cercato una soluzione descrivendo e motivando la scelta. Nelle conclusioni si sono descritti i risultati ottenuti nellâanalisi di sicurezza elencando le principali raccomandazioni emerse dallâanalisi.

L'aclarida química és una pràctica habitual en pomera, ja que significa una reducció primerenca de la càrrega de fruits/arbre, fet que aporta una millora en la mida del fruit i en la seva qualitat, una disminució o fins i tot eliminació de l'aclarida manual i un increment en la floració de retorn. Tot això reverteix en un increment en la rendibilitat econòmica de les plantacions de pomera. Un programa d'aclarida pot estar dissenyat per diverses matèries actives en aplicacions úniques o combinades, però per a totes elles la seva eficàcia està definida per multitud de factors, entre els quals destaquen clarament la mida del fruit en el moment de l'aplicació, el nombre d'aplicacions, les condicions climàtiques i la dosi. L'objectiu general de la tesi va ser determinar la manera d'actuació de Brevis®, estudiant aquells factors que afecten a l'eficàcia de l'aclarida, com són les condicions climàtiques, la dosi d'aplicació, la mida del fruit, l'efecte de la reducció de radiació per l’ús de malles antipedra, la comparativa entre una i dues aplicacions, així com la separació entre aquestes aplicacions, i la comparativa entre el comportament de Brevis® en les varietats ‘Gala’ i 'Fuji'. Els assajos es van realitzar entre 2013 i el 2016 en finques IRTA-Estació Experimental de Lleida i IRTA-Estació Experimental de Mas Badia, en les varietats de poma ‘Gala’, 'Fuji' i ‘Pink Lady’. En tots els assajos realitzats en els quals es va avaluar l'efecte d'aclarida de Brevis® es va observar reduccions significatives en la càrrega o nombre de fruits per arbre i en la producció. Mentre que el color, el calibre i el pes del fruit van ser superiors quan es reduir la càrrega. Brevis® va mostrar eficàcia d'aclarida en aplicacions entre 7,5 i 19 mm del fruit central en estudis realitzats en ‘Gala’ i 'Fuji', constatant també que la màxima eficàcia es va registrar en el rang de 11,5 a 14 mm. A més, 'Gala' va mostrar major eficàcia a l'aclarida amb Brevis® que "Fuji". De la mateixa manera, els valors de fluorescència van ser majors en 'Fuji' que en ‘Gala’ i per tant la inhibició causada per Brevis® va ser major en ‘Gala’ que en 'Fuji'. Els factors climàtics que afecten en major mesura l'eficàcia de Brevis® són les temperatures mitjanes i nocturnes 5 dies abans i 3 dies després de l'aplicació. Brevis® va mostrar una relació lineal entre la dosi i tots els paràmetres d'eficàcia, qualitat (calibre, color i pes del fruit) i fluorescència avaluats en ‘Gala’ i 'Fuji' entre 1,1 i 4,4 kg/ha. El model farmacològic a partir de la funció biexponencial va mostrar un alt grau d'ajust i els valors calculats es van correlacionar amb els valors reals. Els paràmetres estudiats en la funció biexponencial mostren relació directa entre eficàcia i la inhibició de fotosíntesi. Aquests paràmetres actualment només es poden utilitzar per caracteritzar l'eficàcia de l'any, ja que és necessari que el període d'inhibició hagi finalitzat. En el cas d'un programa d'aclarida basat en dues aplicacions de Brevis® entre 7,5 mm i 13,5 mm, l'eficàcia del programa està definida per les condicions climàtiques que es donen en els dos moments d'aplicació, mentre que la separació entre les aplicacions no afecta l'eficàcia final. La reducció en la radiació ocasionada per les malles antipedra no va influir en l'eficàcia de Brevis® en l'aclarida, ni en la inhibició de la fluorescència.
El aclareo químico es una práctica habitual en manzano ya que significa una reducción temprana de la carga de frutos/árbol, lo que aporta una mejora en el tamaño del fruto y en su calidad, una disminución o incluso eliminación del aclareo manual y un incremento en la floración de retorno. Todo ello revierte en un incremento en la rentabilidad económica de las plantaciones de manzano. Un programa de aclareo puede estar diseñado por varias materias activas en aplicaciones únicas o combinadas, pero para todas ellas su eficacia está definida por multitud de factores, entre los que destacan claramente el tamaño del fruto en el momento de la aplicación, el número de aplicaciones, las condiciones climáticas y la dosis. El objetivo general de la tesis fue determinar el modo de actuación de Brevis®, estudiando aquellos factores que afectan a la eficacia en el aclareo, como son las condiciones climáticas, la dosis de aplicación, el tamaño del fruto, el efecto de la reducción de radiación por el empleo de redes antigranizo, la comparativa entre una y dos aplicaciones, así como la separación entre dichas aplicaciones, y la comparativa entre el comportamiento de Brevis® en las variedades ‘Gala’ y ‘Fuji’. Los ensayos se realizaron entre el 2013 y el 2016 en fincas IRTA-Estación Experimental de Lleida e IRTA-Estación Experimental de Mas Badia, en las variedades de manzana ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ y ‘Pink Lady’. En todos los ensayos realizados en los que se evaluó la respuesta de aclareo de Brevis® se observó reducciones significativas en la carga o número de frutos por árbol y en la producción, mientras que el color, el calibre y el peso del fruto fueron superiores al reducirse la carga. Brevis® mostró eficacia de aclareo en aplicaciones entre 7,5 y 19 mm del fruto central en estudios realizados en ‘Gala’ y ‘Fuji’, constatándose también que la máxima eficacia se registró en el rango de 11,5 a 14mm. Además, ‘Gala’ mostró mayor eficacia al aclareo con Brevis® que ‘Fuji’. Del mismo modo, los valores de fluorescencia fueron mayores en ‘Fuji’ que en ‘Gala’ y, por lo tanto, la inhibición causada por Brevis® fue mayor en ‘Gala’ que en ‘Fuji’. Los factores climáticos que afectan en mayor medida a la eficacia de Brevis® son las temperaturas medias y nocturnas 5 días antes y 3 días después de la aplicación. Brevis® mostró una relación lineal entre dosis y todos los parámetros de eficacia, calidad (calibre, color y pesos del fruto) y fluorescencia evaluados en ‘Gala’ y ‘Fuji’ entre 1,1 y 4,4 kg/ha. El modelo farmacológico a partir de la función biexponencial mostró un alto grado de ajuste y los valores calculados se correlacionaron con los valores reales. Los parámetros estudiados en la función biexponencial muestran relación directa entre eficacia e inhibición de fotosíntesis. Dichos parámetros actualmente solo pueden utilizarse para caracterizar la eficacia del año, ya que es necesario que el periodo de inhibición haya finalizado. En el caso de un programa de aclareo basado en dos aplicaciones de Brevis® entre 7,5 mm y 13,5 mm del fruto central, la eficacia del programa está definida por las condiciones climáticas que se dan en los dos momentos de aplicación, mientras que la separación entre las aplicaciones no afecta a la eficacia final. La reducción en la radiación ocasionada por las redes antigranizo no influyó en la eficacia de Brevis® en el aclareo, ni en la inhibición de la fluorescencia.
Chemical thinning is a common practice used in apple orchards. It entails an early decrease in fruit tree load, resulting in enhanced fruit size and quality, a reduction or even the complete avoidance of manual thinning, and an increased return bloom. These effects translate into greater economic profitability for the apple grower. A thinning programme can be designed using various active ingredients in single or multiple applications. The efficacy of the programme will be defined by a number of factors, the most important of which are fruit size at the time of application, number of applications, meteorological conditions and dosage used. The main aim of this thesis is to analyse the different factors affecting the thinning efficacy of Brevis®, a commercial chemical thinner, and the subsequent impact on various crop parameters in different apple varieties. These factors include action mode, meteorological conditions, application dosage, fruit size, the effect of using anti-hail netting to reduce solar radiation, the comparative impact of a single or double application, the time interval in double application treatments between the first and second application, and the comparative performance of Brevis® in the apple varieties ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’. The tests were performed between 2013 and 2016 at the IRTA experimental stations in Lleida and Mas Badia (Spain) on the apple varieties ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’ and ‘Pink Lady’. Significant reductions in crop load and yield were observed in all the tests that were conducted for the purpose of evaluating Brevis® thinning efficacy. In addition, fruit colour, size and quality increased as crop load decreased. Brevis® thinning efficacy was demonstrated in studies on ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’ varieties for applications made when king fruit diameter ranged between 7.5 mm and 19 mm, with maximum efficacy recorded in the 11.5-14 mm range. Thinning efficacy was also found to be greater in ‘Gala’ than in ‘Fuji’. In the same way, fluorescence values were higher in ‘Fuji’ than in ‘Gala’, which means that the inhibition caused by Brevis® was higher in ‘Gala’ than in ‘Fuji’. The most important meteorological factors affecting Brevis® efficacy were the mean temperature and mean night temperature in the period from 5 days before to 3 days after Brevis® application. A linear relationship was found between Brevis® dosage (applied at rates ranging between 1.1 and 4.4 kg/ha) and all the efficacy parameters of quality (fruit size, colour and weight) and fluorescence evaluated in ‘Gala’ and ‘Fuji’. The pharmacological model based on the biexponential function showed a high degree of fit and the calculated values correlated closely to the real values. The parameters studied in the biexponential function revealed a direct correlation between Brevis® efficacy and photosynthesis inhibition. However, these parameters can presently only be used to characterise Brevis® efficacy of the year in question as it is necessary for the period of inhibition to have finished. In the case of a thinning programme based on two chemical thinner applications made when king fruit are 7.5-13.5 mm in diameter, Brevis® efficacy is defined by the meteorological conditions at the time of each application but is not affected by the time interval between application. The reduction in solar radiation as the result of the use of anti-hail netting did not affect Brevis® thinning efficacy or fluorescence inhibition.
