Previous issue date: 2013-01-31<br>Nenhuma<br>A interação com a atividade pesqueira é considerada um dos principais problemas de conservação enfrentados pelo leão-marinho sul-americano (Otaria flavescens). Contudo, raramente o conhecimento dos pescadores a respeito da espécie e do conflito tem sido avaliado e levado em consideração na elaboração de medidas de manejo e conservação. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o conhecimento ecológico dos pescadores locais e descrever a sua percepção sobre as interações entre a pesca e o leão-marinho sul-americano a comunidade pesqueira de Torres/Passo de Torres (29°19’S; 49°43’W), Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Para tanto, foram entrevistados 100 pescadores desta comunidade usando questionários com perguntas fechadas sobre a biologia e ecologia dos leões-marinhos, as interações com a pesca e sobre o Refúgio de Vida Silvestre da Ilha dos Lobos (uma área de concentração invernal de lobos-marinhos e leões-marinhos, localizada a aproximadamente 1,8 Km da costa, em frente ao município de Torres). Os dados foram registrados através de questionários com questões fechadas e avaliados através da frequência. Como resultado foi observado que 72% dos pescadores reconhecem a espécie corretamente em fotos ilustrativas 78% sabem que ela ocorre na região preferencialmente nos meses de inverno e primavera. A percepção sobre as interações foi considerada negativa e 64% dos entrevistados consideraram o conflito como prejudicial à pesca. Contudo, não foi encontrada correlação entre conhecimento e percepção (r = 0,002, p = 0,983). Questões envolvendo renda, faixa etária ou escolaridade não demonstraram relação com a percepção dos pescadores. Jáa experiência do pescador demonstrou ter influência sobre sua percepção (χ2 = 21,962, gl = 6, p = 0,001), sugerindo que quanto mais tempo de trabalho na pesca tem o pescador, mais negativa é sua percepção sobre o leão-marinho sul-americano e o conflito. Diante deste diagnóstico, percebe-se a necessidade da valorização da imagem do leão-marinho sul-americano nesta comunidade através de processos relacionados à comunicação ambiental e educação ambiental, a fim de sensibilizar a comunidade sobre a importância trófica da espécie, garantindo assim sua conservação.

Full textAbstract:
O lobo-marinho-sul-americano (Arctocephalus australis) membro da Ordem Carnivora, é comumente visto nos períodos de outono e inverno na costa brasileira do Rio Grande do Sul até o Rio de Janeiro, porém, sem colônias reprodutivas estabelecidas. A espécie pertence ao grupo dos pinípedes, carnívoros com membros em forma de nadadeiras que vivem em ambiente aquático e terrestre. Estudos sobre a morfologia da pele em pinípedes são raros e antigos, destes procederam muitos relatos divergentes, em virtude da colheita da pele sem referências anatômicas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi descrever o sistema tegumentar da espécie Arctocephalus australis, utilizando animais que vieram a óbito por causas naturais de uma colônia reprodutiva do Uruguai. As áreas corporais colhidas dorso-ventralmente foram identificadas anatomicamente. Essas regiões foram examinadas por microscopia óptica, segundo critérios histológicos, histomorfométricos, histoquímicos e imuno-histoquímicos nas diferentes estruturas que constituem o sistema tegumentar. A pele do Arctocephalus australis apresentou diferenças entre as regiões de epiderme delgada e espessa. A epiderme delgada apresentou maior quantidade de pêlos do que a epiderme espessa, a qual em algumas regiões era destituída destes. Como os demais mamíferos, a pele do lobo-marinho-sul-americano apresentou glândulas sebáceas, glândulas sudoríparas apócrinas e merócrinas. As nadadeiras apresentaram o maior número de especializações entre as regiões do corpo estudadas, especialmente vinculadas à termorregulação, como o maior volume de glândulas sudoríparas e secções vasculares. Esta pesquisa apontou os aspectos morfofuncionais relacionados à biologia da espécie em ambientes distintos, e esclareceu alguns dados controversos na literatura sobre o sistema tegumentar em pinípedes.<br>The South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) members of the Order Carnivora is usually seen during the autumn and winter season in the Brazilian coast from Rio Grande do Sul to Rio de Janeiro, however, there are no reports of reproductive colonies established. The species belongs to the group of pinnipeds, carnivorous with limbs fin-shaped that inhabits both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Studies of the skin morphology are rare and ancient; these studies have arisen many divergent reports, due to sampling of the skin without anatomical references. The purpose of this research was to describe the integumentary system of the species Arctocephalus australis, using animals that came to death by natural cases from reproductive colonies from Uruguay. The body dorsal and ventral regions were identified anatomically. These regions were examined by light microscopy, according to the histological, histomophometric, histochemical and immunohistochemical criteria in the different structures constituting the integumentary system. The skin of the Arctocephalus australis showed differences between the thin and thick epidermis. The thin epidermis showed larger amount of hair follicles than the thicker epidermis, which in some regions was devoid of hair. As well as the other mammals, the South-american-fur-seal skin showed sebaceous glands, apocrine and eccrine sweat glands. The limbs showed the largest number of the specialization among the regions of the body examined, particularly related to thermoregulation, as well as the largest volume fraction of sweat glands and vascular sections. This research pointed the morphofunctional aspects related to biology of the species in different environments, and elucidated some controversial data in the investigation about the integumentary system in pinnipeds.

O Lobo-marinho-sul-americano (A. australis) apresenta particularidades em seu ciclo reprodutivo que revelam sua interação com o ecossistema onde habita. Dentre estas podemos citar o intervalo entre partos de 12 meses, a sincronização dos partos e cópulas no início do verão, umlongo período de diapausa e uma implantação do blastocisto no inicio do inverno, que ocorre 4 a 5 meses após a cópula. A anatomia e fisiologia reprodutivas desta espécie ainda não foram profundamente estudadas. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo, a partir do emprego de métodos não invasivos de pesquisa, descrever a anatomia, histologia, quando possível a ultraestrutura, e a vascularização arterial dos órgãos genitais femininos, bem como investigar proteínas e RNAs mensageiros de fatores de crescimento relacionados à vascularização nestes tecidos. Os dados morfológicos foram correlacionados com dados ambientais, oriundos de estações climatológicas próximas à área da colônia estudada. O A. australis apresenta especializações morfológicas passíveis de correlação com o ambiente, hábitos reprodutivos e ciclo reprodutivo sazonal. Estas estruturas foram identificadas como importantes em momentos específicos da biologia reprodutiva e auxiliam na manutenção do status de conservação da espécie. Análises dos dados climatológicos e sua relação com as variações durante o ano revelam que os eventos do parto, cópula e implantação embrionária, ocorrem em momentos onde as maiores variações ambientais acontecem. Os dados morfológicos revelam que existe uma interação entre o ciclo reprodutivo e as especializações anatômicas dos órgãos genitais femininos<br>The South-American-fur-seal (A.australis) presents unique features in its reproductive cycle, which reflect their interaction with the ecosystem where it lives. The parturition interval of 12 months, synchronization of parturition and copulation in the beginning of the summer, long diapause and implantation of the blastocyst in the beginning of the winter, which occurs 4 to 5 months after copulation are some of these features. The anatomy and reproductive physiology of this species have not been widely studied. This work describes the anatomy, histology, some ultrastructural characteristics, and the main arterial vascularization of the female genital organs using non invasive methods. Moreover, this study investigates the proteins and messenger RNAs of growth factors which are related to vascularization in these tissues. An association between morphological and environmental data from climatology stations near the area of the studied colony was investigated. A. australis presented morphological specialization in genital organs, which might be related to the environment, reproductive habits and seasonal reproductive cycle. Some of these identified structures are essential in specific stages of A. australis reproductive biology, and play an important role in the maintenance and conservation status of this species. Analysis of climatological data and their relation with changes over the year showed that parturition, copulation and embrionary implantation occur in time periods where the highest environmental variations take place. Morphological data revealed an interaction between the reproductive cycle and the anatomic specialization of female genital organs

Full textAbstract:
All-American interrogates J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur’s definition of “American" in the 1782 text, Letters from an American Farmer, which inspired the Eurocentric, sexist and heterosexist ideals girding the notion of what is now called the “American Dream." Mainstream media project narratives that suggest that the ideals in Crevecoeur’s epistles have been fully extended beyond his narrow scope in the Obama era. All-American, however, offers poetry that illuminates modern and contemporary instances in urban and rural settings of racism, colorism, gender bias, ability discrimination and homophobia thwarting this idealistic worldview. Its formal and free verse explores the journey of four generations of one family as members grapple with discrimination, disability and disease and interrogates the heteronormativity and racism that girds the faith to which they cling. Whereas many contemporary poets eschew the confessional in storytelling, All-American employs it unabashedly. Moreover, All-American is interested in language poetry, not only that which plays with various Englishes but also with the languages that color them, that percolate under the surface. It aims to make music of these dialogical languages, these inexorable narratives. It lets the dead and dying tell their stories, which are no less American, though they are unpopular in an America racing to rid itself of past shame. All-American faces the shameful things Americans can do to one another and celebrates humans’ innate will to thrive, love and die with dignity—with hopes of inspiring dialogue and healing that will make American ideals more accessible to those on the periphery.<br>Master of Fine Arts

Previous issue date: 2011<br>The South American fur Seal, Arctocephalus australis, is distributed along Southern Hemisphere coast with breeding colonies located since Peru until Uruguay. This work focuses on the Atlantic ESU and covers most of the colonies of the Atlantic coast. In recent past, several colonies underwent strong size reduction with hunting and El Niño events. Most studies have focused on investigate the Pacific ESU, little being known about the Atlantic populations. The population structure and genetic variability in this area were assayed with mitochondrial DNA control region and eleven microsatellite loci. The results found high levels of genetic diversity in the region, without evidence of recent genetic bottleneck but with evidence of a population expansion around 200-100 thousand years ago. A sign of genetic structure were found between colonies from Uruguay and Chubut when evaluated by the mtDNA. This is likely due to their strong female philopatry. However, microsatellite analysis did not revealed any existing structure, even between distant areas, supporting that most gene flow is mediated by males. For conservation purposes, these results shows that the South American fur seal Atlantic ESU is a single population and because of that, conservation measures should be aligned among the countries of its distribution.<br>O lobo-marinho sul-americano, Arctocephalus australis, está distribuído ao longo da costa do hemisfério sul com colônias reprodutivas localizadas desde o Peru até o Uruguai. Este trabalho foca na UES do Atlântico e cobre a maioria de suas colônias. No passado recente, várias colônias sofreram drásticas reduções populacionais com a caça e os eventos de El Niño. Muitos estudos focaram na análise da UES do Pacífico, no entanto, pouco se sabe sobre a UES do Atlântico. Neste estudo a estrutura populacional e a variabilidade genética destas populações foram avaliadas através da região controle do DNA mitocondrial e 11 loci de microssatélites. Os resultados encontraram alto nível de diversidade genética nesta região, sem sinal de gargalo genético recente, mas com sinais de uma expansão populacional iniciada entre 200. 000 e 100. 000 anos atrás. Um sinal de estruturação foi encontrado entre as colônias do Uruguai e Chubut quando avaliado a partir do DNA mitocondrial, provavelmente causado pela forte filopatria das fêmeas. No entanto, a análise de microssatélite não revelou a existência de estruturação, mesmo entre as diversas subpopulações mais distantes, sugerindo que o fluxo gênico seja mediado pelos machos. Para fins de conservação, estes resultados mostram que o lobo-marinho sul-americano da UES do Atlântico é uma única população, e por causa disso, medidas de segurança devem ser alinhadas entre os países de sua distribuição.

Previous issue date: 2014<br>Resumo: Nas últimas décadas, a criação e implementação de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas têm-se intensificado nos diferentes oceanos do mundo. Como resposta à crise ambiental produzida pela sobre-exploração dos recursos pesqueiros, a poluição das zonas costeiras, a expansão das aglomerações urbanas nas áreas litorais e os impactos do aquecimento global, as Áreas Marinhas Protegidas aparacem como o instrumento chave para mitigar os impactos antropogênicos e promover a sustentabilidade marinha e costeira. No entanto, os conflitos causados pela imposição de áreas de proteção em zonas utilizadas por múltiplos usuários e a constatação do fracasso de muitas Áreas Marinhas Protegidas na conservação efetiva da biodiversidade, revelam a importância das dimensões humanas da conservação marinha. À luz deste problema de pesquisa, a presente tese de doutorado tem por objetivo analisar o processo decisório que define criação e implentação de duas Áreas Marinhas Protegidas na América do Sul: no Município de Navidad no Litoral Central do Chile e no Litoral Norte do Estado de São Paulo no Brasil. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram a emergência de arenas ambientais para a conservação marinha com a finalidade de construir regras para regular os múltiplos usos dos recursos naturais e promover a sustentabilidade das zonas costeiras. Estas arenas cumprem um papel fundamental na explicitação dos conflitos e na promoção de pactos sociais, evidenciado os alcances e limites do processo democrático vivenciado nos dois países. Para além da biodiversidade, comprova-se que a conservação marinha representa uma oportunidade única para reorientar a trajetória de insustentabilidade até agora percorrida, assim como para experimentar novas formas de fazer democracia<br>Abstract: Over the last years the establishment of Marine Protected Areas has intensified worldwide. In response to the environmental crisis of the oceans produced by overexploitation of fishery resources, pollution of coastal areas, the expansion of urban agglomerations in coastal zone and the impacts of global warming, Marine Protected Areas are recognized as the key tool for mitigate anthropogenic impacts and promote the marine sustainability. Nevertheless, the conflicts triggered by the imposition of protected areas in zones used by multiple users and the failure of Marine Protected Areas improving effective biodiversity conservation, highlight the relevance of the human dimensions of marine conservation. Considering this problem the thesis aims to analyze the environmental decision-making process that defines the establishment and management of two Marine Protected Areas in South America: Municipalty of Navidad at the Central Coast of Chile and North Coast of the São Paulo State in Brazil. The study demonstrates the emergence of environmental arenas for marine conservation in order to regulate the multiples uses of marine resources and support the sustainability of the coastal zones. These arenas play a key role for the recognition of conflicts and the promotion of environmental social contracts, showing the advances and constrains of the democratic process in both countries. Beyond biodiversity, marine conservation represents an exceptional opportunity to redirect the paths of unsustainability, as well to experiment new democratic practices<br>Doutorado<br>Aspectos Sociais de Sustentabilidade e Conservação<br>Doutor em Ambiente e Sociedade

Full textAbstract:
Phylogenetic and historical biogeographic hypotheses were explored for three groups of teleost fishes that are hypothesized to share a common biogeographic track. Distributed across the eastern Pacific/eastern Atlantic (EP/EA) biogeographic track of Rosen (1975) are the Scomberomorus regalis (Scombridae), Strongylura marina (Belonidae) and Hyporhamphus unifasciatus (Hemiramphidae) species groups comprised of one eastern Atlantic; three, three and four western Atlantic; and two, two and four eastern Pacific species, respectively, for each group. In addition, two species in the Strongylura marina and Hyporhamphus unifasciatus groups, have invaded freshwater drainages of Central and South America. Each of the three species groups were found to be monophyletic using on average 3000 base pairs (bps) of nucleotide sequence. Genes sequenced included: the entire ATP synthase 8 (ATPase 8; 169 bp) and 6 (ATPase 6; 684 bp), NADH ubiquione oxidoreductase subunit 2 (ND2; 1047 bp), and partial cytochrome b (cyt b; 800 bp) mtDNA protein coding genes; partial 12S (12S; 429 bp) and 16S (16S; 576 bp) ribosomal mtDNA genes; and portions of the nuclear encoded aldolase exon 5/intron 5 (ALD; &\sim&400bp) and creatine kinase b introns and exons 2 and 3 (CK; &\sim&1042 bp). The analysis of multiple genes permitted an evaluation of their phylogenetic signal and usefulness in biogeographic reconstructions. Mitochondrial protein-coding genes resulted in well-supported resolution of sister species relationships, while the nuclear-encoded genes helped resolve basal relationships. However, contrary to expectations, the mtDNA ribosomal genes did not perform as well. Additionally, in Scomberomorus a morphology-based phylogeny was included in the analysis. In general phylogenetic hypotheses inferred for each species group were consistent with expectations of the EP/EA generalized biogeographic track. The results for each species group indicated a basal position for the eastern Atlantic taxa S. tritor, St. senegalensis and Hy. picarti, with closest relationships being either transisthmian (geminate) or, within the eastern Pacific or western Atlantic, for the derived New World taxa. Vicariant and dispersal hypotheses, consistent with paleogeological and paleoceanographic evidence, and life history and dispersal abilities are offered to explain the biogeographic histories of.

Arctocephalus australis (Zimmermann, 1783) (lobo-marinho-sul-americano), é um carnívoro marinho com ampla distribuição, que ocorre nas costas leste e oeste da América do Sul, desde o Peru até o Brasil. O maior número de registros de espécimes de A. australis no Brasil ocorre no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, onde estão localizadas as duas principais áreas de concentração de pinípedes no País. Apesar de não haver colônias reprodutivas da espécie no litoral brasileiro, todos os anos, principalmente no período entre junho e outubro, inúmeros animais (vivos e mortos) são encontrados no litoral do País. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar as causas de morte mais comuns nos animais que ocorrem no litoral norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul em 2012 e 2013. Para isso, foi realizada necropsia em 50 animais encontrados mortos na praia. Dos animais necropsiados, 30% tiveram a morte associada com trauma severo, apresentando laceração da musculatura, hemorragia extensa e politraumatismo e 8% trauma severo com laceração da musculatura e hemorragia extensa. Ainda 14% tiveram como causa mortis alterações no trato respiratório, 6% apresentaram alterações no trato gastrointestinal, 4% no sistema muscular, 4% no sistema nervoso central, 2% no sistema hepático e 2% com alterações no trato reprodutivo. Ainda, 18% tiveram a morte associada à caquexia e em 12% não foi possível concluir a causa da morte. Os principais achados são discutidos, bem como fatores antrópicos e não antrópicos que podem ter causado ou contribuído para o óbito dos animais.

Full textAbstract:
A crise do capitalismo, instaurada a partir da década de 1970 com a consolidação da ideologia neoliberal e das idéias de globalização, e a atuação de consultores internacionais, constituem elementos importantes para o entendimento dos processos de difusão e legitimação do novo paradigma que passa a reorientar as políticas urbanas. Aos governos locais, ficou a incumbência de promover o desenvolvimento econômico e estes passaram a disputar o mercado com outras cidades, utilizando estratégias de marketing para atrair os investidores. Esta nova forma de gestão chamada de empreendedorismo urbano é divulgada pelo planejamento estratégico em que a cidade não é pensada como um todo, mas pontualmente e promovida por eventos. No Rio de Janeiro esse modelo será evidenciado nos anos 90 com a adoção do planejamento estratégico pelo governo municipal, sendo a cidade lançada em 2001 para sediar os Jogos Pan-Americanos de 2007. O discurso que passa a predominar é o de a cidade realizar a qualquer custo mudanças na sua organização interna para que seja aceita no mercado de cidades e assim receber investimentos externos. Assim temos a Marina da Glória que é pública e foi inserida num palco de disputas entre os que querem privatizá-la e os que a defendem como um espaço de acesso a todos. Através do objetivo central desse trabalho em analisar o modelo empreendedorista de gestão urbana implementado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro e materializado pelo planejamento estratégico, pretende-se a partir do caso em estudo, a Marina da Glória, demonstrar como o discurso governamental utiliza a importância de um megaevento para projeção e desenvolvimento da cidade, na realidade, representa um jogo de interesses empresariais que amplia cada vez mais a fragmentação da cidade.<br>The crisis of Capitalism set up in seventies with the consolidation of neoliberal ideology and the perspectives of globalization is the central point for the understanding of the process of difusion and legitimation of this new paragigm that starts to give a new orientation to urban policies. The local governments were in charge of promoting the economical development and they start to fight for the bussiness with others cities making use of marketing strategies in order to attract investments. This new form of management called urban enterprising is displayed by a strategic planning when the city is not taken a whole it self, but worked only in specific places and promoted by events.In Rio de Janeiro this model appers in the nineties with the strategic planning of local authority, in the context the city was chosen in 2001 to host the Pan American Games of 2007. The main discourse now, dispite all cost, is to make changes in the inner organization of the city in order to be accepted in the city markets, and to receive external investiments. Therefore, the Marina da Glória that is a pubblic space but was envolved in a context of dispute between the ones who wants to privatize it and ones who wants to keep it a public domain for the free acess of all. The main aim of this stud is to analise the interprising model of urban management idealized in the City of Rio de Janeiro and mada concrete by strategic planning. The intention, with the subject Marina da Glória, is to display how the Government makes use of important megaevents to show up and to develop the city, actually, it means a game of business interest that more and more fragment the city.

Parallelamente, ci si sofferma sulla denuncia alla condizione di marginalità, discriminazione e soggiogazione per dimostrare in che modo la produzione letteraria delle due scrittrici costituisca una forma di resistenza culturale che si oppone all’invisibilità storica e alla marginalità sia etnica che di genere. Storie individuali di personaggi di finzione si inseriscono all’interno della storia generale sul conflitto mapuche facendo sì che le opere si muovano dal margine al discorso ufficiale.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-06<br>The Antarctic Sea Ice Concentration (ASIC) is thought to be an important element in
the analysis of the world climate. However, few studies have investigated its relation
to other climatic elements. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify the relation
between the ASIC and low temperatures in South America through two approaches.
The first, regional, investigated the occurrence of a connection between the ASIC
and the cold and hot quantiles of the daily lowest temperature as observed in some
weather stations in Rio Grande do Sul in the 1982 2005 period. For such, low
temperature values were transformed into cold and hot quantiles through the quantile
technique, and correlated to ASIC sectors. The correlation coefficient showed a
connection between the elements, with emphasis on the influence of Weddell, Ross
Sea sectors and Bellingshausen and Amundsen Sea sector, especially because the
Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean are farther away. The second
approach, continental, analyzed the ASIC variability and its connection with low
temperatures observed in South America by means of NCEP-NCAR reanalysis in the
1982 2007 period. For such, the sectors of larger ASIC variability were identified
through the principal component analysis technique, enabling the adjustment of the
ASIC-based low temperature forecasting model to South America to the data set by
the model and the observed data in the reanalysis through the multiple lineal
regression analysis technique. The prevailing areas for the explanation of ASIC
variability were found to be in the sectors above mentioned. The worst (best)
adjustment of the model occurred in the cold (hot) period, when there is a greater
(smaller) variability of low temperatures and smaller (greater) ASIC variability.<br>A Concentração de Gelo Marinho Antártico (CGMA) é considerada um elemento
importante na análise do clima mundial. Contudo, poucos estudos têm investigado
sua relação com outros elementos climáticos. Desse modo, o objetivo deste trabalho
consistiu em verificar a relação entre a CGMA e a temperatura mínima na América
do Sul utilizando duas abordagens. Na primeira, regional, examinou-se a existência
de conexão entre a CGMA e as classes fria e quente da temperatura mínima diária,
observada em algumas estações meteorológicas do Rio Grande do Sul, no período
de 1982 a 2005. Para isso, os dados de temperatura mínima foram transformados
em classes fria e quente, por meio da técnica dos quantis, e correlacionados com os
setores da CGMA. O coeficiente de correlação mostrou a existência de conexão
entre os elementos, com destaque para a influência dos setores dos Mares de
Weddell, de Ross e de Bellingshausen e Amundsen, até porque os setores do
Oceano Índico e do Oceano Pacífico Oeste apresentam maior distância. Na segunda
abordagem, continental, analisou-se a variabilidade da CGMA e sua ligação com a
temperatura mínima na América do Sul, observada pela reanálise do NCEP-NCAR,
no período de 1982 a 2007. Para isso, os setores de maior variabilidade da CGMA
foram identificados por intermédio da técnica de análise de componentes principais,
possibilitando o ajuste de um modelo de previsão de temperatura mínima para a
América do Sul, baseado na CGMA, com dados previstos pelo modelo e dados
observados pela reanálise, mediante o uso da técnica de análise de regressão linear
múltipla. As áreas mais predominantes na explicação da variabilidade da CGMA
foram encontradas nos setores já citados. O pior (melhor) ajuste do modelo ocorreu
no período frio (quente), onde existe maior (menor) variabilidade da temperatura
mínima e menor (maior) variabilidade da CGMA.

Full textAbstract:
The thermal behavior of tree trunks is currently only partially understood despite its great importance to forest productivity and climatic effects. From a remote sensing viewpoint, a better understanding of the relationship between the thermal regime of a tree and its thermal and microwave signal is necessary. The present study addresses two main questions: (1) How do tree trunk temperatures vary, spatially and temporally, in relation to different environmental factors. (2) How can observed thermal infrared radiations from the trunks describe these variations, and with which level of precision. In this study, measurements of internal temperatures (made with thermocouples), and of surface temperatures (made with thermographic images) of tree trunks under winter and summer conditions allowed us to describe the thermal behavior of trees. Results show that the radiant energy absorption can raise the surface and internal temperatures very rapidly and by several degrees above the ambiant air temperature. The temperature distribution tends to be highly asymmetric, with differences as large as 20ÀC between the hottest and coldest areas of the trunk.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le contexte du réchauffement climatique, les enregistrements paléoclimatiques à différentes échelles temporelles et spatiales apparaissent essentiels pour comprendre les mécanismes du climat. La Patagonie Chilienne (41°S à 56°S) parcourue du Nord au Sud par les Andes représente une contrainte topographique majeure sur les circulations atmosphériques et océaniques. Cette région est la seule qui intercepte la totalité de la ceinture des vents d'ouest austraux et constitue donc une zone clé pour étudier les changements paléoenvironnementaux et comprendre les mécanismes océan-atmosphère et leurs interactions aux moyennes et hautes latitudes de l'hémisphère sud. Dans ce contexte, les objectifs de cette thèse sont : (1) de tester l’analyse pollinique dans les sédiments marins de cette région, (2) d’étudier les modifications des paléoenvironnements continentaux au cours des 20 000 dernières années à partir de deux carottes océaniques de la campagne "PACHIDERME" (MD07-3088 et MD07-3104) et (3) de déterminer leurs liens avec l’activité des vents d’ouest et avec l’influence de ces vents dans l’hémisphère sud et donc sur le climat à l’échelle globale. Les analyses polliniques dans les sédiments marins de surface à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur des fjords de la Patagonie reflètent fidèlement la végétation actuelle développée sur le continent le plus proche, ce qui prouve la validité de la palynologie marine dans cette région. Au niveau de la péninsule de Taitao (46°S), l’expansion des forêts nord patagoniennes après 17.6 ka marque le début de la déglaciation. Cette dernière est interrompue par un évènement froid et humide, l’Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR) qui s’exprime ici par le développement des tourbières de Magellan et est lié à l’intensification des vents d’ouest. Le développement de taxons héliophiles à ~11 ka illustre le début de l’Holocène sous des conditions plus chaudes et plus sèches qui sont également enregistrées autour du Fjord de Reloncavi (41°S). Ces conditions persistent jusqu’à ~8-7 ka, puis les changements de végétation aux cours de l’Holocène montrent une variabilité climatique plus importante évoluant vers un climat plus froid et plus humide qui se renforce au nord de la Patagonie après ~6-5 ka puis pendant l’Holocène supérieur. La comparaison de nos résultats avec les données paléoclimatiques de la région souligne les déplacements de la ceinture des vents d’ouest. Après une descente rapide vers le sud au début de la déglaciation, cette ceinture des vents d’ouest remonte vers le nord pendant l’ACR avant de redescendre à nouveau vers le sud à l’Holocène proche de sa position actuelle. Ce phénomène appuie l’hypothèse d’un lien entre les variations du CO2 atmosphérique et la ceinture des vents d’ouest jusqu’au début de l’Holocène. A partir de l’Holocène moyen et supérieur, la ceinture des vents d’ouest s’élargit avec un léger retour vers le nord probablement lié à la mise en place d’El Niño au niveau de l’océan Pacifique tropical<br>In the context of global warming, paleoclimate records at different time and spatial scales appear critical to understand climate mechanisms. Chilean Patagonia (41°S to 56°S), crossed by the Andes from north to south, represents a major topographic constraint on ocean and atmospheric circulation. It is the only region that intercepts the entire southern westerly wind belt. Thus it represents a key-area for the study of paleoenvironmental changes in the southern hemisphere and the understanding of ocean-atmosphere mechanisms and their interactions from the mid- to high-latitudes of the southern hemisphere. In this context, the purposes are: (1) to test the pollen analysis on marine surface sediments in this region, (2) to study the continental changes of paleoenvironments during the last 20,000 years from two oceanic cores of the "PACHIDERME" campaign (MD07-3088 and MD07-3104) and (3) to evaluate their links with southern westerly wind belt activity and with the influence of these winds on the southern hemisphere and with the climate at a global scale. The pollen analyses of marine surface sediments in fjords or offshore from Chilean Patagonia reflect the present-day vegetation from the nearby continental area. At the Peninsula of Taitao (46°S), the North Patagonian forest expansion after 17.6 kyr shows the beginning of the deglaciation. This last (period) is interrupted by a wet and cool event, the Antarctic Cold Reversal (ACR), that was expressed here by development of the Magellanic moorland linked to the southern westerly wind intensification. The expansion of heliophytic taxa at ~11 kyr illustrates the beginning of the Holocene under warmer and drier conditions that are also recorded around the fjord of Reloncavi (41°S). These conditions persisted until ~8-7 kyr, and then the vegetation changes during the Holocene show a larger climate variability toward a cooler and wetter climate that enhances in northern Patagonia later ~6-5 kyr during the Late Holocene. Our results compared with the regional paleoclimatic data highlight the shifts of the southern westerly wind belt. After a rapid southward shift at the beginning of the deglaciation, the southern westerly wind belt returns northward during the ACR before reaching southern latitudes near to their present-day position. This scheme strengthens the inference of the link between atmospheric CO2 variability and the southern westerly wind belt up to the Early Holocene. From the mid and late Holocene, the southern westerly wind belt was displaced northward with a slight return probably linked to the beginning of El Niño recorded in tropical Pacific Ocean

Fighting Power: Interpretive Issues The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade, 1950 Hammes, Thomas Xavier Lincoln College Submitted for Doctor of Philosophy in History Trinity Term 2008 When the Korean War broke out on 25 June 1950, the Marine Corps was ordered to deploy an air-ground brigade from California in less than ten days. Due to five years of massive budget and manpower cuts, the Marine Corps did not have even a brigade immediately available. The only way to meet the sailing timeline was to organize, man and equip the force while actually embarking it. As it embarked, the brigade had to incorporate marines flown in from posts all over the western United States; draw equipment from war reserves held hundreds of miles away; reorganize many of the existing units under new tables of organization; and add an experimental helicopter detachment from the east coast of the United States. Despite these enormous handicaps and numerically superior enemy forces, the brigade won every engagement. This performance was in stark contrast to the performance of all other US forces at this stage of the war. The brigade’s brief existence (7 July to 6 Sept 1950), combined with its exceptional combat record under adverse conditions, provides the opportunity to study the impact of institutional culture, education, doctrine, organization, training and leadership on performance in combat. Research showed that a key element of the brigade’s success was the Marine Corps’ institutional culture. In particular, the culture of remembering ensured marines understood the unchanging aspects of war and provided its men with the education, training, doctrine and organization to cope with its enduring friction, fog and chance. At the same time, the culture of learning ensured the marines understood what was changing in the character and tools of war so the brigade was well adapted to the realities of modern war from its first day in combat.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an operational and tactical study of a battle fought by the U. S. 1st Marine Division near "the Punchbowl," an extinct volcano of military value in the Taebaek Mountains of Korea, from late August through mid September 1951. That engagement was to be the last 1st Marine Division offensive of the Korean War. This battle, for Yoke and Kanmubong Ridges, has received little coverage from historians. That it is all but forgotten is surprising, since it was one of the hardest fought for United States Marines in the war. The casualties were high, and Americans did not understand why so many had to die for a war that seemed to already be set to conclude by negotiations. This study tells the story of that battle more completely than ever before, and assesses its significance to the course of the Korean War.

By succeeding in persuading their counterparts in Jakarta of the necessity of securing the maritime domain, men and women of the U.S. Department of Defense, State Department and other agencies have allowed Washington to be back into Indonesia’s security game through an all-out cooperation

Full textAbstract:
Während der letzten argentinischen Diktatur (1976-1983) wurden zehntausende Menschen in geheimen Lagern festgehalten, gefoltert und ermordet – dann ''verschwanden'' sie. Die meisten Fälle sind nur schwer rekonstruierbar, viele Täter kamen ungestraft davon. Für diese staatsterroristische Praxis wurde die Bezeichnung erzwungenes Verschwinden eingeführt (spanisch desaparición forzada). Die Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit medialen und ästhetischen Verfahrensweisen, die in Argentinien in der Auseinandersetzung mit der desaparición forzada entwickelt wurden. Im Vordergrund steht die These, dass die gewaltsame Depräsentation der Opfer zu einem gesellschaftlichen ''Wahrnehmungsmord'' ("percepticidio") geführt hat. Die medialen Strategien und ästhetischen Produktionen, die die Untersuchung analysiert, markieren den gegenwärtigen Stand einer transgenerationellen kulturellen Bearbeitung dieser wahrnehmungsrelevanten sozialen und politischen Erfahrung. Es handelt sich um Produktionen im Bereich Narrativik, Lyrik, Fotografie, Film und Theater, die im Kontext der Memoria-Hochkonjunktur nach 1989 und der digitalen Globalisierung stehen. Félix Bruzzone, Mariana Enríquez und Martín Gambarotta, Virginia Giannoni und Lucila Quieto sowie Albertina Carri und Lola Arias haben Kontra(re)präsentationen zum gewaltsamen Verschwinden entworfen, die materiell, meta-medial und kontrainformativ verfahren. Nach diskursanalytischen, repräsentations- und medientheoretischen Einführungen sowie einer Reihe terminologischer Definitionen arbeitet die Untersuchung an diesen Produktionen einer postdiktatorischen Generation, die als "Camada Cadáver" bezeichnet wird, heraus, dass ein ''Phänomen'' wie das erzwungene Verschwinden – das in vielfache Referenzlosigkeit führt – ästhetische Strategien motiviert hat, die als beispielhaft emergent und experimentell einzustufen sind, weil sie neue Erkenntnisse für die noch unabgeschlossene Erforschung eines der vielen Terrorregimes des 20. Jahrhundert liefern.<br>During the Argentinean dictatorship (1976-1983), tens of thousands of people were kept in secret camps, were tortured, murdered, and ''disappeared''. Most cases are difficult to reconstruct. Many of the offenders have remained unpunished. The term "forced disappearance" (Spanish desaparición forzada) was introduced for this act of state terrorism. This study addresses medial and esthetic processes that were developed in light of the debate on desaparición forzada in Argentina. At the heart of the study is the hypothesis that the violent ''depresentation'' of the victims has led to ''cognitive murder'' ("percepticidio"). The media strategy and esthetic productions analyzed in the study represent the current state of the art of the trans-generational cultural work on cognition relevant social and political experiences. The productions in the field of the study of narration, poetry, photography, film, and theater have emerged in context of the post 1989 memory-boom and digital globalization. Félix Bruzzone, Mariana Enríquez und Martín Gambarotta, Virginia Giannoni, and Lucila Quieto as well as Albertina Carri and Lola Arias have conceptualized counter(re)presentations to violent disappearance which proceed materially, meta-medially, and counter-informatively. Following introductions on discourse analysis, representation theory, and media theory as well as a number of terminology definitions, the study analyzes the above mentioned productions created by a post dictatorship generation, which are being referred to as the "Camada Cadáver", and shows that the ''phenomenon'' of forced disappearance, which leads to a repeated lack of reference, has motivated esthetic strategies that are to be classified as exemplarily emergent and experimental, because they have produced new insights for the unfinished research on one of the many terror regimes of the twentieth century.

It also investigates relationships between the U.S. and Confederate Marine Corps, particularly in light of how the experiences of former U.S. Marines shaped the growth of the Southern Corps. In particular, the thesis asserts that, despite shared origins, the CSMC seized on opportunities presented by the Civil War and became expert in new mission areas through the efforts of a core group of determined and experienced leaders. In the process, the CSMC came to eclipse its Northern cousin, becoming a valued and vital element of the Confederate Navy. The CSMC is examined in light of its national service, thereby affording fresh perspectives on the patterns formed by its actions as part of the Southern war effort. This new research framework supports a better understanding of the roles and missions expected by Southern leaders from their Corps, and more clearly illuminates the CSMC’s differences. In particular, this approach highlights the inherent strengths of the CSMC’s unique structure that lent itself to a more efficient concept of employment. Finally, this thesis asserts that the CSMC became, for its abbreviated history, the agile, innovative, and versatile fighting unit that, man-for-man, the U.S. Marine Corps would not achieve until some time late in the nineteenth century. However, the lessons of its service were not realized, in part because of its relative historical obscurity.

Full textAbstract:
The Marines of Montford Point are largely absent from the World War II narrative, and relatively unknown to individuals in the military services and to the public at large. After 144 years of official policy against allowing blacks to serve their country as U.S. Marines, on June 1, 1942, the nation's first black Marines broke the color barrier, gaining entry into a military organization that today carries with it tremendous symbolic and mythic significance in America. Moreover, serving in harm's way to defend a prejudiced nation, black Marines demonstrated bravery and endurance in the face of institutionalized racism.
This thesis examines the southern Jim Crow experiences of selected northern African American Marines, focusing on the ways in which these men responded to the discrimination they encountered in the South. It also explores the reasons why these men joined the most racist branch of the military and what knowledge they had of Executive Order 8802 and the Navy Department's May 20, 1942, press release, announcing the Marine Corps's plans for recruiting blacks.
Furthermore, it examines the various ways in which all African American Marines coped with Jim Crow laws, and explores the realities that black and white American society created about black Marines and their wartime service. It also discusses how northern and southern black Marines engaged and interacted within a strict segregationist military organization, particularly in how the Marine Corps manipulated the Selective Service in order to protect what senior officers considered to
be its elitist image.
The comparison to the U.S. Army's framework of task organization and combat employment of black soldiers reveals that the Army made greater strides toward racial justice and equality by allowing blacks to serve as commissioned officers, albeit in segregated units; whereas the Marine Corps instituted no comparable reform. After the war began, the Marines could have commissioned African Americans by following the models of all-black units such as the 93rd Infantry Division and the Tuskegee Airmen. In sum, initial racial opinions shifted differently in each military service during the war; and for black Marines, it officially marked a new tradition of military service.

Ludemann, Franziska. "Hallo, Welt! Adolescent angst und das Erwachsenwerden in Marisha Pessls Special Topics in Calamity Physics und Zoe Jennys Das Blütenstaubzimmer." 2010. http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/817.
Full textAbstract:
Special Topics in Calamity Physics (2006) by Marisha Pessl and Das Blütenstaubzimmer (1997) by Zoё Jenny both feature strong female characters who go through difficult times because they experience genuine disillusionment with regard to their friends, the opposite sex, and, especially, their family.
The focus of this thesis was to analyze if the authors depict their characters in such a way that one can see correlations between the emotional behavior of these characters and a phenomenon that is often referred to as adolescent angst. The theoretical foundation for defining adolescent angst and for understanding mechanisms that trigger adolescent angst was provided by Rapoport and Ismond’s internationally appraised DSM-IV Training Guide for Diagnosis of Childhood Disorders (1996) and Reinherz et al.’s ground-breaking study on „Depressive Disorders“ (2006).
In my thesis, I was able to show that the depictions of difficult relationships between the protagonists and their parents and friends show characteristics of adolescent angst. Contrary to that, positive influences like reliable friends who are understanding and lend support, function as motivational forces which decrease the protagonists’ anxieties and frustration in both texts.
The analysis of the final scenes showed that after all hardships, the protagonists do not give up hope and open themselves up to a once unimaginable future. Although Pessl and Jenny dismiss the concept of a clear didaxis in their texts, they nevertheless imply a motivational message; namely that adolescent angst can be conquered and overcome.
I was able to demonstrate that the concept of adolescent angst serves as a catalyst for the development of the protagonists in both Special Topics in Calamity Physics and Das Blütenstaubzimmer . The bestseller status of both novels underlines that the authors’ decision to conclude these novels which are centered around adolescent angst with an open ending seems to cater to a modern young adult readership, especially within the context of pop culture.

Full textAbstract:
Excessive unobserved firepower expenditures by Allied forces during the Vietnam War defied the traditional counterinsurgency principle that population protection should be valued more than destruction of the enemy. Many historians have pointed to this discontinuity in their arguments, but none have examined the available firepower records in detail. This study compiles and analyzes available, artillery-related U.S. and Allied archival records to test historical assertions about the balance between conventional and counterinsurgent military strategy as it changed over time.
It finds that, between 1965 and 1970, the commanders of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV), Generals William Westmoreland and Creighton Abrams, shared significant continuity of strategic and tactical thought. Both commanders tolerated U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Allied unobserved firepower at levels inappropriate for counterinsurgency and both reduced Army harassment and interdiction fire (H&I) as a response to increasing budgetary pressure. Before 1968, the Army expended nearly 40 percent of artillery ammunition as H&I – a form of unobserved fire that sought merely to hinder enemy movement and to lower enemy morale, rather than to inflict any appreciable enemy casualties. To save money, Westmoreland reduced H&I, or “interdiction” after a semantic name change in February 1968, to just over 29 percent of ammunition expended in July 1968, the first full month of Abrams’ command. Abrams likewise pursued dollar savings with his “Five-by-Five Plan” of August 1968 that reduced Army artillery interdiction expenditures to nearly ten percent of ammunition by January 1969. Yet Abrams allowed Army interdiction to stabilize near this level until early 1970, when recurring financial pressure prompted him to virtually eliminate the practice. Meanwhile, Marines fired H&I at historically high rates into the final months of 1970 and Australian “Harassing Fire” surpassed Army and Marine Corps totals during the same period. South Vietnamese artillery also fired high rates of H&I, but Filipino and Thai artillery eschewed H&I in quiet areas of operation and Republic of Korea [ROK] forces abandoned H&I in late 1968 as a direct response to MACV’s budgetary pressure. Financial pressure, rather than strategic change, drove MACV’s unobserved firepower reductions during the Vietnam War.

abstract: The purpose of this study was to: (1) record and describe a brief history of the life and career of Bolivian composer Dr. Nicolás Suárez Eyzaguirre, and (2) write an analysis from a vocal performer's perspective of Suárez's song cycle for soprano and piano, Monólogos del Desierto, with texts by Dr. Guillermo Mariaca Iturri.
In August of 2013, I traveled to La Paz, Cochabamba, and Coroico, Bolivia, with translator Dr. Marie Cooper Hoffman for thirteen days in order to conduct interviews with Suárez, his family, his colleagues, his composition professors, and other professional musicians. In addition to both in-person and e-mail interviews, I reviewed television productions, videos, and newspaper/magazine articles that featured interviews with Suárez and/or reviews of his works. Also, I familiarized myself with Suárez's compositional style by performing a leading role in the 2011 world premiere of his opera El Compadre; collecting and listening to as many recordings of his works as I could find; and reading the transcript of Suárez's Doctor of Musical Arts Lecture Recital. For this study, I focused specifically on the compositional style of his three-song cycle Monólogos del Desierto. A performance of the work will be part of my defense of this paper.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Doctoral Dissertation Music 2015
