Människans fötter är de kroppsdelar som bär upp kroppen och gör att vi kan förflytta oss. På liknande sätt utgör pedalstämman en slags grund som ger stabilitet i orgelmusiken. Detta arbete handlar om pedalteknik, dess möjligheter och begränsningar, samt om samarbetet mellan tonsättare och organist. Målet med studien har varit att utvecklas som musiker, både musikaliskt och tekniskt. Arbetet har resulterat i kunskap om pedalteknik, en inblick i hur en samarbetsprocess mellan tonsättare och organist fungerar samt en interpretation av ett nyskrivet musikverk. Studien riktar sig till dig som vill veta mer om pedalteknik, både för musikutövaren som vill spela orgel och för tonsättaren som vill komponera för orgel. Parallellt med samarbetet har arbetet bestått av studium och instudering av befintliga pedalstycken samt orgelskolor där ett antal teknikövningar valts ut. Tonsättaren i arbetet är Michelle Pettersson, kompositionsstudent vid Musikhögskolan i Piteå. Under läsåret 2018/2019 har ett antal möten mellan tonsättare och organist genomförts där musikalisk kunskap, tankar och idéer om orgelinstrumentet utbytts, diskuterats och utforskats. Detta har resulterat i två separata pedaletyder för orgel.

Piporgeln har länge varit det dominerande instrumentet i kyrkan. Digitalorgelns intåg är en förnyelse som främst tillkom på grund av ekonomiska och praktiska skäl. Digitalorgeln har gått från att vara undantag till norm. I denna uppsats ska jag undersöka hur denna strukturförändring påverkar en konserterande organist. Jag jämför förutsättningar i att framföra en konsert på en egen digitalorgel kontra en fast installerad piporgel. Detta undersöks dels genom en jämförelse mellan instrumenten, samt en konsert med en egenbyggd digitalorgel tillsammans med en stråkorkester. Under processens gång visar det sig att digitalorgeln fungerar som ett bra komplement på platser där en piporgel vore en omöjlighet, men den fungerar också som ett helt nytt instrument.<br><p>Francis Poulenc - Orgelkonsert i g-moll</p><p>Kevin Lembke, orgel</p><p>Gunnar Julin, dirigent</p><p>KTH:s Akademiska Kapell</p>

Full textAbstract:
Sunday after Sunday, liturgical organists are faced with the challenge of providing music for liturgy. While hymns, psalms, musical settings of liturgical texts, choral anthems and responses are often made clear in their choice due to the marriage of text and music, choosing music outside of those parameters is a challenge. Music that happens prior to worship as the community gathers, music to accompany ritual actions such as the presentation of the offering or the distribution of the Eucharist, and music that sends people on their way at the end of the service is not something to be taken lightly. Such choices are important and can have a significant effect on the over-all tenor of the liturgy. Many organists have concluded the most efficient and effective solution is to seek pieces which are based on the hymns sung by the assembly and trust that a cohesive liturgical whole has been created. This essay attempts to move beyond that notion into the realm of solo organ literature that is not derived from a chorale or hymn melody. Each piece of music carries its own aesthetic characteristics, and the task of the liturgical organist is to determine how those characteristics can best be incorporated into a given religious celebration.

Abstract Jan Johansson: Georg Stubendorff, organist i S:t Jakob – En musiker i stormaktstidens Stockholm och hans concerto "O Jesu dulcissime", [Georg Stubendorff, Organ Player in S:t Jacob's Church – A Musician in Seventeenth Century Stockholm and his Concerto O Jesu dulcissime], Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för musikvetenskap, uppsats för 60 p, 2006. Georg Stubendorff, organ player in S:t Jakob's church in Stockholm 1663-1672, was one of the very competent foreign musicians that came to work in Sweden in the 17th century. The purpose of this essay is to contribute to the knowledge about him and about the conditions in general for church musicians in Stockholm during that era, and to present an edition of his Concerto a 3. It is shown that Stubendorff may have come to Stockholm from Livland, rather than Germany as earlier accepted. The Concerto a 3 is the only composition by Stubendorff that has survived (now in the Düben collection at Uppsala university library). He dedicated it to the Gustav Düben, Hofkapellmeister of the Hofkapelle, in 1663. Editions of Stubendorff's Concerto and of a similar anonymous composition with similar scoring and similar text are presented together with analyses and comparisons of the works. It is suggested that the anonymous composition in fact might be written by Gustav Düben himself.

Full textAbstract:
The art of balancing spiritual, physical and emotional attributes is a daunting task for any organist. The techniques with which an organist consolidates these attributes have a direct effect on the accomplishment of a definitive goal – a successful music performance. However, this portrays the ideal situation. There is a myriad of internal and external factors that obstruct the organist from attaining this ultimate goal and – in the process – create excessive stress and anxiety. Over and above the habitual performance nervousness, an organist’s anxiety level is exacerbated when performing on an unfamiliar organ, as every organ has unique characteristics that differ from all other. Moreover, the modern pipe organ – particularly the church organ – is a complex and intricate instrument that claims the highest skills and flexibility from an organist.
Performing music is inherently a stressful accomplishment that is intensified by continuous challenges, inter alia incessant preparation and the threat of criticism. Some music performers seem to thrive on stress while others choke under pressure. The music performer, however, is not intrinsically born with the innate knowledge and wisdom to manage the diverse anxiety-causing factors that are associated with organ performing. A particular kind of pedagogical training, namely coaching, is proposed as a technique to equip a scholar – particularly an organist – with tactics to manage performance anxiety. Parallels are drawn between the training of sports athletes and organists as coaching has valuable applications for both sports- and music performers.
The aim with the current study was to explore how and why organists experience such strenuous anxiety when performing a repertoire. These strains can often become too overwhelming for an organist to endure. For the purpose with the study, six experienced and qualified organists were selected by means of a convenience sample design. Their stress- and anxiety levels during music performances were identified by means of 12 open-ended questions. Being an experienced organist and teacher herself, the author was able to probe deeper into the topics introduced by the research questions. Particular consideration was given to the fabric of performance anxiety from three different approaches: behavioural, cognitive and psychoanalytical. In addition, pedagogical coaching was explored as a viable alternative to teaching an organist. Moreover, the organist’s unique characteristics were emphasised from behavioural, cognitive (gestalt), socio-cultural, and psychoanalytical approaches.
From the results of the empirical study is evident that all the organists participating in the study revelled in their organ performing. However, many situational and related aspects caused them habitually to experience feelings of stress, anxiety, loneliness and apprehension. Of particular concern to the organists was the inclusion of worship bands in the church. They experienced it as a threat to the church – resulting in a lowering of musical standards.
All of the stressful situations resulted in tiredness, frustration and sometimes exploitation in the organists. One main finding was that an organist imperatively needs to be coached and supported in coping with such adverse feelings. Coaching improves energy levels, self-help skills, better time management and further development of emotional intelligence. It can also increase the organist’s physiological state – improve a sense of awareness, enhance learning capabilities and increase self-confidence.
The all-encompassing conclusion reached was that – through effective coaching – the organist has a much better chance of overcoming inner- and outer adversities on the way to a successful and rewarding career.<br>Dissertation (MMus)--University of Pretoria, 2014.<br>tm2015<br>Music<br>MMus<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med studien har varit att fördjupa kunskapen om psalmsångens funktion i gudstjänsten och utforska vilka avsikter kyrkomusikern kan tänkas ha med psalmsången i gudstjänsten. Här med särskilt fokus på att leda psalmsången med orgeln. Min undersökning bygger på både litteraturstudium och kvalitativa intervjuer med tjänstgörande personer i kyrkan. Genom litteraturstudium reflekterade jag över fyra exempel på funktion och sedan har jag försökt tydliggöra reflektionen med intervjuresultat. Studien visar psalmsångens avgörande funktioner vilka innebär delaktighet, gemenskap och budskap i gudstjänsten. Kyrkomusikern har en viktig roll i att leda församlingen och bidrar med sina konstnärliga idéer och sin begåvning i gudstjänsten. Studien visar också att det finns både utmaningar och möjligheter med psalmsången i gudstjänsten. Svårigheter är bl. a. en sångsvag församling och att många har en liten psalmrepertoar. Kyrkomusikerna tar ett stort ansvar och möjliggör för församlingen att kunna delta i gudstjänsten och idag är det mycket viktigt att få församlingen att närma sig psalmsången.

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet kyrkomusiker och deras exponering för ljud inom sin tjänst, främst med fokus på piporgel. Undersökningen har genomförts med kyrkomusiker och kyrkoherdar i Enköpings kontrakt för att få en uppfattning av kyrkomusikernas exponering till piporgelljud och om de kan ha fått en hörselskada utav detta. Huvudsakligen har studien baserats på individuella intervjuer med kyrkomusikerna och enkätsvar från kyrkoherdarna. I sex utvalda kyrkor har även ljudmätningar gjorts med en decibelmätare. Resultaten visar att hörselskaderisken är relativt låg vid piporgelspel, medan ljudexponering från körer anses vara ett större problem. Denna studie var begränsad geografiskt till ett kontrakt inom svenska kyrkan i Sverige och kan inte berätta om det är annorlunda någon annanstans.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se fonde sur le principe d’une reconstruction biographique et dans le même temps sur l’analyse d’un contexte culturel dans lequel le protagoniste naît, se forme et œuvre. La vie d’Alessandro Esposito, ses expériences, ses rencontres deviennent la source d’un intérêt scientifique grâce à une fine recherche, finalisée à une contextualisation historique, géographique et musicologique. Parallèlement à cette chronologie, plusieurs sentiers ont été tracés, mettant à la lumière une multitude de situations hétérogènes, consacrées au monde de l’orgue, illustrées grâce à la découverte d’une documentation riche. L’identification, la classement et l’analyse de tous ces témoins, ont débouché sur plusieurs domaines de recherche qui ont concerné le parcours du protagoniste : sa formation et sa spécialisation, répondant à une période qui s’étend de 1924 à 1942 ; son activité de concertiste (1926-1981), son répertoire et sa manière d’interpréter la musique ; son activité de compositeur (1926-1978), particulièrement consacrée à l’orgue et à son répertoire liturgique et de concerts ; son activité d’enseignant (1941-1978) et son activité pour l’édition (1956-1976). Le facteur transversal et constant qui s’est posé lors de cette recherche a été de trouver la pensée d’Alessandro Esposito sur la conception de l’orgue et sur son activité d’animateur du débat relatif à l’interprétation de la littérature et aux progrès dans l’art de la facture d’orgue. L’aptitude de cet homme, intéressé à tous les domaines concernant le monde de l’orgue et de sa musique, se vouant à concilier avec engagement et succès des activités aussi différentes, nous révèle sa prédisposition à un éclectisme qui nous permet, donc, de nous pencher sur un monde hétérogène, qui recueille des opinions et des points de vue divergents, qui réunit des pensées et des méthodes différentes concernant le roi des instruments, lequel devient un véritable protagoniste de ce travail<br>This thesis is based on the principle of biographical reconstruction and, at the same time, on the analysis of a cultural context into which the protagonist was born, studied and operated. Alessandro Esposito’s life, his experiences and his enconunters become a source of scientific interest thanks to a meticulous research, aimed at a historical, geographical and musicological contextualization. Parallel to this chronology, numerous paths are traced that highlight a series of heterogeneous situations addressed to the world of the organ, illustrated thanks to the discovery of a rich documentation. Identification, classification and analysis of these witnesses led the reflection towards the different research areas encountered by the protagonist in his human path : training and specialization, relating to a period that extends from 1924 to 1942, the concert activity (1926-1981), the repertoire and the interpretative characteristics; the activity of composer (1926-1978), particularly dedicated to the organ in its liturgical and concertistic role; the didactic activity (1941-1978) and the editorial one (1956-1976). The transversal and constant factor that stems from this research is the identification of Alessandro Esposito's thinking about the concept of the organ, through the observation of his activity as an animator of the debate concerning the interpretation of literature and progress in the art of organ building. This man’s fascination with every area of the world of the organ and music related to it, allows him to combine many different activities, which reveal a predisposition and an eclecticism that permits a reflection about the complex world, rich in opinions and divergent points of view concerning the king of instruments, the true protagonist of this work

Muzika skambanti bažnyčioje, jos atlikėjai bei atlikimas yra saistomi Bažnyčios dokumentuose nustatytomis normomis, įstatymais, rekomendacijomis, kurie privalomi ir turi būti vykdomi kiekvienoje parapijoje. Magistrinio darbo temą inspiravo daugelyje Bažnyčios dokumentų išsakomas nuogąstavimas dėl nukrypimų nuo sakralinės muzikos tikslo ir padėties: per didelis koncertiškumas, pramoginis muzikos atspalvis, kompozicijų ištęstinumas, nesaikingumas, kuris gali vesti žmogų į bergždžią išsiblaškymą, paviršutiniškumo išraišką.
Bažnyčioje neturėtų būti nieko, kas trikdytų ar mažintų tikinčiųjų pamaldumą, kas keltų papiktinimą nepasitenkinimą, kas nusižengtų liturgijos sakralumui. Muzika yra pavaldi pamaldoms. Todėl žmogaus santykis su sakraline muzika ir raiškos savastis yra labai tampriai susiję ir vienas kitam daro įtaką. Muzika turi pajėgti žmogaus sielą pakelti į maldingą bendravimą su Viešpačiu. O už žmogaus ir sakralios muzikos sklaidą atsako bažnyčia, kompozitoriai, vargonininkai, choro vadovai, giedotojai, bendruomenė, instrumentalistai. Todėl savo darbe analizavau šias tarnystes, aiškindamasi kaip jos galėtų pasitarnauti žmogaus pamaldumo augimui ir sakralios muzikos skleidimui.

The laws and recommendations found in these documents are obligatory for every parish.
This master paper has been inspired by the regret of the Church documents about some deviations from the aim and the true role of sacral music, such as concert–like style, the shade of pop music, prolonged composition, lack of taste, etc. This can lead people to absent-mindedness and superficiality in prayer.
Nothing in the church should decrease people’s concentration or the holiness of the liturgy. Music must be second to liturgy, it must lift people’s souls to pious communication with God. Therefore, man’s relationship with sacral music and its expression influence one another. The quality of this relationship and of the music in church is the responsibility of the parish, of composers, organists, choir directors, singers, instrument players and of the community as a whole. Thus, this paper deals with all of these ministries and their role in helping church music to increase people’s piety.
The paper aims at showing people’s relationship with sacral music according to the documents of the Catholic Church, as well as the role of the singers in the liturgy and the most frequent mistakes they make. The paper also tries to formulate the requirements for musical service and the use of instruments in the liturgy. We have investigated into the opinions of church organists in... [to full text]

L’elettronica organica è un campo in pieno sviluppo grazie alle proprietà di cui godono i semiconduttori organici, quali l’elevata flessibilità, la bassa temperatura di lavorazione, la biodegradabilità e la produzione di applicazioni a basso costo e su vasta area. Sebbene i transistori organici abbiano prestazioni inferiori rispetto ai classici transistori in silicio, presentano comunque buoni valori di mobilità ed apprezzabile stabilità sia termica sia elettrica. Per quanto riguarda le applicazioni biomediche, in questo lavoro di tesi è stato studiato un particolare tipo di transistore organico, ossia il transistore sinaptico. Quest’ultimo viene principalmente utilizzato in neurorobotica e neuroprotesistica per realizzare circuiti neuromorfi, ossia circuiti elettronici che funzionano secondo principi simili a quelli del nostro sistema nervoso. I transistori sinaptici, infatti, mostrano grandi vantaggi per la realizzazione di sinapsi bioniche flessibili, adattabili e biocompatibili da utilizzare in potenziali applicazioni di elettronica sinaptica. Si è visto, inoltre, che è possibile una codifica dei segnali simile a quella dei nervi dell'uomo, quindi dispositivi sensibili agli stimoli tattili possono essere utilizzati per sostituirli o per comunicare con altri nervi, ad esempio con fibre nervose residue di pazienti che hanno subito una amputazione. Un importante feedback tattile naturale, infatti, può ridurre al minimo la continua attenzione visiva richiesta per eseguire con successo la manipolazione di oggetti, così come l’esecuzione di azioni con protesi degli arti superiori. Per quanto riguarda le protesi degli arti inferiori, invece, queste possono trarre vantaggio dal dispositivo analizzato, che può fornire dei feedback sulla distribuzione delle forze del piede durante la deambulazione. Inoltre, queste ricerche aprono la strada all'uso di questa tecnologia per ripristinare l'attivazione muscolare.

Med en position mellan tre små byar som är starkt utsatta för AIDS och Malaria är tanken att skolan ska göra god kvalitativ undervisning tillgänglig för alla. Här lär man sig genom praktisk undervisning. Skolområdet kommer att ha flera verkstäder för praktisk undervisning och dans och musik kommer att spela en central roll. Med en mindre skala och mer intima gröna rum mellan byggnaderna påminner skolan mer om en liten by än en vanlig Tanzaniansk skola. Smarta lösningar med gröna tak löser problem med överhettning av stark sol och filtrering av regnvatten som samlas upp i behållare för att användas. En uppluckrad bambufasad på områdets innerväggar skapar naturlig ventilation och insläpp av dagsljus.

Na teoria da experiência da terceira Crítica, Kant estabelece a articulação das três faculdades de conhecimento. A possibilidade das coisas em geral, segundo o modelo da analítica do entendimento, está ainda sendo pensada pelas categorias, contudo, em conformidade com as leis do entendimento, estas mesmas coisas dotadas de formas particulares estão sendo pensadas pela legalidade da faculdade de julgar, e ao cabo a razão pensa a possibilidade da totalidade dessas formas arranjadas em ordem em vista de um sistema, segundo a dialética da razão. A partir dessa articulação entre as faculdades mentais em função da experiência, buscou-se determinar os conceitos que possibilitam pensar o organismo mostrando que o organismo é finalidade interna produzida por epigênese e pré-formação. Para pensar a possibilidade de articulação dessas duas teorias embriológicas da história da filosofia, Kant mobilizou conceitos do entendimento, da faculdade de julgar e da razão. A terceira Crítica operou uma série de deslocamentos e articulações conceituais para pensar o organismo. A contingência que era pensada pela razão é deslocada para a faculdade de julgar em sua legalidade do contingente. A terceira Crítica ainda deslocou a produção do organismo da intenção divina para a espontaneidade natural tendo o princípio da finalidade interna como fundamento mental. Na medida do possível buscamos introduzir a lógica transcendental na representação do organismo, e por esse caminho revelamos que entre os seus conceitos estão a liberdade, a técnica, o sistema e a comunidade, sob os quais Kant articulou as opostas teorias da pré-formação e da epigênese.<br>In the theory of experience of the third Critique, Kant establishes the articulation of the three faculties of knowledge. The possibility of things in general, according to the model of the analytic of the understanding, is still being thought by the categories, but in conformity with the laws of the understanding these same things endowed with particular forms are being thought by the lawfulness of the faculty of judgement, and finally reason thinks the possibility of the totality of these forms arranged in the order of a system, according to the dialectic of reason. From this articulation between the mental faculties for the experience, we tried to determine the concepts that make it possible to think the organism by showing that the organism is an internal purposiveness produced by epigenesis and pre-formation. In order to think about the possibility of articulating these two embryological theories of the history of philosophy, Kant mobilized concepts of the understanding, the faculty of judgement and reason. The third Critique operated a series of dislocations and conceptual articulations to think the organism. The contingency that was thought by reason is shifted to the faculty of judgement in its lawfulness of the contingent. The third Critique still shifted the organisms production from divine intention to natural spontaneity by having the principle of internal purposiveness as a mental foundation. As far as possible we seek to introduce transcendental logic into the representation of the organism, and through this path we reveal that among its concepts are freedom, technique, system and community, under which Kant articulated the opposing theories of pre-formation and of epigenesis.

L’elettronica organica ha trovato negli anni recenti diverse applicazioni, anche in dispositivi di uso quotidiano, come ad esempio gli schermi OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode). I semiconduttori organici possono essere depositati con tecniche a basso costo, anche su scala industriale, e su grandi aree, fattore, quest’ultimo, che li rende particolarmente adatti alla fabbricazione di sensori di radiazioni ionizzanti. Il lavoro presentato riguarda la realizzazione di transistor organici a film sottile e la loro caratterizzazione, come transistor e come sensori di raggi X. In particolare, l’obiettivo di questo progetto sperimentale è il confronto delle sensibilità di due tipi di dispositivi fabbricati da soluzioni delle molecole diF-TES-ADT (5,11-bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene) e diF-TEG-ADT (5,11-bis(triethylgermylethynyl)anthradithiophene), appartenenti alla classe degli eteroaceni sostituiti. Nella prima molecola sono presenti due gruppi funzionali identici in cui è contenuto un atomo di silicio, mentre nell'altra essi contengono un atomo di germanio, caratterizzato da un numero atomico più alto. In questo lavoro viene dimostrato che il numero atomico più alto, grazie al maggiore coefficiente di assorbimento per la radiazione X, comporta una sensibilità più alta per il sensore di razioni ionizzanti, come confermato dai risultati ottenuti.

It is based on the main phenomenons contributing to the modification of the journey flows. The model, which is a prototype, thus takes into account the process of junction between work supply and demand, the spatial relocalisation of populations and economic activities, as well as retirement, mortality and occupational mobility. The flows dynamic is generated through the integration of spatial and temporal modelisation tools. The resulting mathematic model has been applied to the strasbourg urban region delimitated by a criteria of the intensity of links between the spatial units of the bas-rhin county. The estimated results of the evolution of the journey-to-work flows on a fifteen-year period seem acceptable. The model "simflux" provides a satisfying spatial interaction estimation between the zones of the studied area. However, some problems can be noticed. It presents a tendency to overestimates the flows between the neighbouring spatial units, whereas it underestimates those between much further zones. Complementary applications and callibrations are necessary to determine the descriptive quality of the journey-to-work flows evolution of the various mechanisms introduced in the model

A key environmental concern in the 21st century is polluted water, requiring monitoring or remediation, often in locations which are hazardous, expansive, or difficult to reach. Robots capable of long term autonomous operation with the ability to tackle these environmental challenges are in great need. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an emerging technology for water decontamination and electricity generation which convert biodegradable matter found in waterways, including pollutants such as algae and petrochemicals, to usable electrical power. As such MFCs present a promising, bioinspired power source for remotely operating robots, particularly where the use of more established energy-scavenging technologies is limited. One of the greatest challenges in environmental robotics is to develop machines with the compliance and adaptability that equips natural organisms for unassisted survival in uncertain and changeable surroundings. The emergence of mechanisms that closely mimic biological organisms is prevalent in state of the art research and can advance MFC powered robots by enabling them to to forage for food and locomote biomimetically. Artificial muscles with low mass and high efficiency, including electro-active polymers, are well suited to the low voltage, relatively low power, output of MFCs. This thesis presents these complementary technologies in the design of a biomimetic, energy-autonomous artificial organism capable of long term, unassisted operation. We consider artificial muscles powered by artificial metabolism in an investigation that covers three objectives: • Design of systems comprising soft ionically and electronically active polymers that may be used for both power generation in MFCs and soft actuation. • Driving bio-inspired actuation within the energy budget defined by the output of a single MFC, thereby improving the effective fusion of MFCs and soft robotics. • Showing energy autonomy through the integration of these technologies in a swimming, artificial organism, powered by an artificial digestive system and exploiting soft robotic actuation. The presented artificial organism has demonstrated feasibly application in self-powered environmental monitoring and clean-up of polluted waterways. The study shows a crucial step in the development of bio-inspired autonomous robots capable of long term self-sustainability and presents significant scope for future development.

No contexto do ensino, assume-se que as discussões epistemológicas do conhecimento biológico podem promover uma compreensão mais integrada dos fenômenos biológicos.

In the education context it is assumed that the epistemological discussions of the biological knowledge can promote an integrated understanding of the biological phenomena. Thus, a research group consisting of Biological Sciences undergraduates was organized to debate central concepts of the biological knowledge in which the discussions of the organism concept are included. This research aimed to: 1) develop a characterization of the concept of organism from a hierarchical approach by integrating the resulting discussions from contemporary philosophy of biology that are related to the concepts of self-organization, autonomy agents, emergent properties and hierarchical levels; 2) to analyze how the concept of organism is placed in front of the explications of life in the contemporary literature of philosophy of biology; 3) to use the theoretical discussion on the concept of organism as fundamentation for a group of Studies in Epistemology of Biology, noting the help of this theoretical contribution to the Biological Sciences students training in the Biology and Epistemology in Science Teaching; 4) to analyze discussions and written productions that occurred in the development of the ‘Research in Epistemology of Biology’s group which addressed the concept the organism in order to verify if a hierarchical approach in which the organism is the focal level contributes to an integrated view of biological knowledge for biology students.

Full textAbstract:
Nous avons l’habitude de penser que l’organisme pluricellulaire, comme un certain homme et un certain cheval, est un modèle de l’individu. Toutefois, la philosophie contemporaine des sciences de la vie propose un certain nombre de définitions de l’individualité biologique qui provoquent des débats sans fin. Nous proposons une analyse historique des modifications de la notion d’individu qui ne vise pas à régler les débats, mais à comprendre la diversité des pensées portant sur cette notion. Nous commençons par analyser la découverte de la régénération du polype d’eau douce, faite au milieu du XVIIIe siècle par Abraham Trembley. Nous arrivons à mettre en lumière la rénovation philosophique effectuée au début de XXe siècle par Henri Bergson. L’histoire de la notion d’individu biologique présente des pensées qui transforment l’évidence en problématique. L’invention et la réinterprétation des concepts biologiques comme l’organisme, la cellule, la division du travail, le milieu, la sélection naturelle et la vie, permettent à la pensée biologique de remettre en cause la définition étymologique du terme d’individu, l’identification de l’individu et de l’organisme et la possibilité même de déterminer le niveau d’organisation correspondant à l’individu. La pluralité des concepts d’individu ne signifie pas qu’il faille renoncer à l’usage du terme en biologie. Au contraire, elle permet de mettre au jour l’ontologie impliquée dans les théories biologiques pour poser en termes précis les problèmes biologiques et philosophiques. La pensée de l’individualité biologique ouvre un vaste champ de recherche où les philosophes et les biologistes ont à travailler ensemble<br>From a commonsense perspective, the multicellular organisms such as men and horses are thought of as typical examples of biological individuals. But contemporary philosophers of biology present a number of definitions of biological individuality which stimulate an intense debate over deciding the level of organization to which the biological individuality corresponds. This research proposes a historical analysis, which doesn’t aim to solve the conceptual issues, but to understand the diversity of biological thinking about individuality. From the regeneration of the polyp discovered by Abraham Trembley in the middle of the 18th century to the philosophical renovation achieved by Henri Bergson at the beginning of the 20th century, the biological thinking called into question the basis on which the notion of biological individuality was built. The invention and the reinterpretation of the concepts such as the organism, the cell, the division of labor, the milieu, the natural selection and the life, allowed to ask if the biological individuality can be defined as indivisibility, secondly if it can be identified with the organism, and finally if one can determine the level of organization to which the biological individuality corresponds. The diversity of concepts of biological individuality doesn’t mean that this term is dispensable for the biological research. It allows to present the biological and philosophical problems in more precise terms, so that the biologists and philosophers can cooperate to tackle them

Bristen på högvärdigt gödsel är i många låg- och medelinkomstländer betydande då mineralgödsel är kostsamt och svårt att transportera. Material att tillverka biogödsel av finns det dock gott om i form av mat- och trädgårdsavfall samt animaliskt och mänskligt avfall. Dessa material är rika på essentiella växtnäringsämnen som kväve och fosfor. Utmaningen vid användning av dessa material är att de ofta innehåller höga halter av smittförande mikroorganismer vilka är skadliga för både människor och djur. Ska dessa material användas som biogödsel är det viktigt att de patogena mikroorganismerna inaktiverats så att smittor inte sprids i miljön och till livsmedel.Denna studie jämförde tre maskkomposter med tre mesofila komposter med avseende på inaktivering av mikroorganismer samt produktion av ett högvärdigt biogödsel som slutprodukt. Projektet pågick i 77 dagar och indikatororganismerna, bakterierna Salmonella Typhimurium och Enterococcus faecalis samt bakteriofagerna ΦX och 28B, studerades med jämna mellanrum under projektet. Kemisk analys av näringsämnen gjordes vid uppstart och vid avslutande av experimentet. De näringsämnen som studerades var ammoniak, nitrat, total-kväve, fosfat och total-fosfor.De resultat som framkom under experimentet var att varken mask- eller kontrollkomposten hade uppnått ett moget och hygieniserat material under de 77 dagar som experimentet pågick. Detta beror delvis på att flertalet av maskarna vid två tillfällen dog av höga ammoniakhalter och torka, vilket vittnar om maskarnas känslighet och svårigheterna med småskalig maskkompostering. För båda behandlingarna skulle mer tid ha behövts då inget material ansågs stabiliserat och moget. Sal. Typhimurium och bakteriofag ΦX sjönk betydligt i båda komposterna. För Ent. faecalis var kontrollkomposten den effektivare behandlingen. Bakteriofag 28B var den starkaste överlevaren i båda komposterna. I båda behandlingarna gick över 90 % av den ursprungliga ammoniaken förlorad. För totalkväve och totalfosfor fanns det en skillnad mellan behandlingarna och kontrollkomposten visade sig innehålla högre halter av dessa ämnen. För resterande ämnen fanns ingen skillnad mellan de olika behandlingarna.<br>The lack of high standard fertilizers is considerable in many low and medium income countries. The mineral fertilizers are expensive to buy and difficult to transport. Bio-fertilizer material exists in large quantities: e.g. food left-overs, garden waste, manure and feces. These materials are rich in phosphor and nitrogen and other vital plant nutrients. These materials, however, often contain large amounts of pathogenic microorganisms harmful to both humans and animals. If the material is to be used as bio-fertilizers it is crucial that all pathogenic microorganisms are inactivated in order to prevent the spreading of infectious diseases.In this study the efficacy of vermicomposting was compared to mesophilic composting in regards to pathogen inactivation. The main study objectives where to investigate the ability of the composts to inactivate four different indicator organisms, and to determine the composts fertilizer value. The indicator organisms studied where the bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium and Enterococcus faecalis and the bacteriophages ΦX174 and 28B. A chemical analysis of the compost material was done in the beginning and in the end of the experiment. The substances analyzed were ammonium, nitrate, total nitrogen, phosphate and total phosphorus. The experiment lasted for 77 days in total.The result from the study suggests that neither the vermicompost nor the control compost achieved a material that was mature and free of pathogen microorganisms by the 77th day of the experiment. The results can partly be explained by worms dying due to high ammonium levels and dried out material. This shows that worms are extremely sensitive and that small scale vermicomposting is hard to manage. An extended time line for the study is needed to achieve a completely mature material. S. Typhimurium and bacteriophage ΦX174 decreased substantially with both treatments in the study material. There was a significant difference between the two composts regarding the inactivation of E. faecalis, the control compost showed to be more effective in this aspect. Bacteriophage 28B was the strongest survivor in both of the different composts. Both the vermicompost and the control compost lost over 90 % of the original ammonium. For total nitrogen and total phosphorous the control compost had the highest values.For the rest of the controlled substances no difference between the treatments could be observed.<br>Urban and peri-urban animal farming

Full textAbstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is a worldwide leading cause of skin and soft tissue, bone and joint, and bloodstream infection. Despite this, S. aureus is also a harmless commensal in about one third of the population, although carriage is a risk factor for subsequent disease. S. aureus has evolved resistance to several antibiotics, including meticillin, resulting in meticillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), which in the UK largely consists of two epidemic lineages. In spite of much research, substantial aspects of the epidemiology and biology of S. aureus are still poorly understood. In investigating the S. aureus host-organism relationship, this thesis has three aims. To explore the interface between community and hospital-acquired S. aureus; to investigate the carriage dynamics of S. aureus in the community; and to use population genetic methods to study epidemic hospital associated S. aureus lineages. Case-control studies comparing hospital and community-acquired MRSA revealed that the majority of UK MRSA remains healthcare associated, with community-acquired MRSA reliably identified in only 0.2% of individuals. However, an additional 0.2% of individuals also carried "feral" MRSA with molecular characteristics identical to hospital-associated strains, but in hosts with no healthcare risk factors. To further investigate S. aureus carriage dynamics in the community, a carriage study was designed to collect detailed host factor information and correlate this with S. aureus carriage over time. In the study 32% of participants carried S. aureus of which the majority carried for over one year. Younger age was associated with transient carriage, including S. aureus acquisition in individuals who were initially negative. Finally, whole-genome sequencing of two epidemic S. aureus lineages indicated rapid clonal expansion of MRSA and clear geographic and temporal genetic structure. One particularly closely related cluster of strains may provide a genetic explanation for an MRSA outbreak in Brighton.

Thesis (M. Eng. and S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, June 2004.<br>"May 2004."<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 83-85).<br>This project focuses on the development of a micro-organism concentrator. Pathogen detection, particularly MEMS based detection, is often limited by sample concentration. The proposed concentrator will interface with a pathogen detector. This type of pathogen concentrator can be useful for many kinds of applications including water purification systems, medical applications and biological warfare agent detection. Due to the nature of these applications, the concentrator must be able to operate under real-world conditions, and be robust to particulates and variations in solution conductivity. The concentrator is an active filter, which concentrate bacteria in solution using negative dielectrophoresis, which pushes objects away from the electrodes toward field minima. An electric field barrier is set up to guide cells toward a concentrated outlet flow path while the bulk of the fluid, which permeates the electric field barrier, is sent to a waste outlet.

Full textAbstract:
Devenu clef de lecture des enjeux internationaux dans le nouveau désordre mondial, le crime organisé transnational concurrence l’État par ses propres moyens de coercition et investit la sphère publique de telle manière que, dans certaines régions du monde, son influence est indispensable pour remporter une élection ou un marché public. Il va même jusqu’à agir au détriment des engagements des États en matière de préservation de l’environnement ou du patrimoine, de politique urbaine ou de non-prolifération des armes de destruction massive. Dans quelle mesure les changements géopolitiques et les mutations juridiques en ex-URSS ont eu des conséquences sur la nature et l’évolution du crime organisé russe postsoviétique ? Anciennement garants des traditions carcérales, la nouvelle génération des Voleurs dans la loi (Vory v zakone) s’est largement développée durant la transition démocratique avant d’investir durablement les États occidentaux, au point qu’Interpol qualifie cette organisation de « grave menace pour le développement économique ». D’une part, seront étudiés la « sous-culture criminelle russophone » bien spécifique, la typologie et la structure des groupes criminels russes, ainsi que le contexte juridique de leur développement en Russie et en Géorgie. D’autre part, sera analysée l’évolution en Europe occidentale de cette criminalité russophone, davantage qualifiable « d’association de type mafieux » par ses liens politiques et ses activités économiques « légalisées ». L’étude des réponses juridiques de différentes législations sur le blanchiment de capitaux établit que la confiscation élargie sur le modèle italien reste le principal instrument de lutte efficace<br>From disruptive element to key factor of international stakes in the new world disorder, transnational organized crime competes with the State with its own coercive means and invests in public sector in a way it becomes inevitable in some parts of the world to win an election or obtain a procurement contract, often in spite of international agreements on environmental preservation, protection of holdings or town planning or even non-proliferation of weapons of mass-destruction. To what extent did the geopolitical and legal changes and their consequences in the ex-USSR impact the nature and evolution of post-soviet organized crime? Formerly guardians of the prison criminal traditions, the new generation of Thieves in Law (Vory v zakone) has developed throughout the democratic transition and expanded in Western Europe to such extent Interpol considers it a tremendous threat to economic development, international security and Russian democratic institutions. The first part will study the indigenous Russian-speaking criminal prison “culture” and give an analyzed overview of the structure of current types of Russian criminal groups and the legal context that led to their development in Russia and Georgia throughout the democratic transition. On the second hand, I will study the expansion in Western Europe of Russian-speaking criminality which can be qualified as “association of mafia-type” (cf. Art. 416bis of the Italian Criminal Code) because of its political links and its “legalized” profits. Forfeiture and seizure on the Italian legal model remain the most effective instrument as established from the study of different legislations against money laundering

Questo elaborato si basa su uno studio effettuato in collaborazione con l’istituto di ricerca ENI-Donegani durante il quale si è esaminata la possibilità di trattare attraverso un processo biologico accoppiato, anaerobico-aerobico, le acque derivanti dal trattamento idrotermale (HTL, hydrothermal liquefaction) della frazione organica del rifiuto solido urbano (FORSU). Lo studio si è incentrato sulla resa del processo in termini di biogas prodotto e sull’ identificazione dei composti presenti all’interno del refluo da trattare.
Per il monitoraggio del processo biologico sono state condotte le seguenti analisi: GC-TCD (gas cromatografia-detector a conduttività termica) per l’identificazione della composizione del biogas; estrazione e analisi in GC-MS (gas cromatografo-spettrometro di massa) per l’identificazione degli acidi grassi volatili prodotti nel processo di digestione anaerobica; analisi del pH, dell’ammoniaca e del COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) delle sostanze organiche disciolte. Per la caratterizzazione chimica dei composti organici idrosolubili non volatili stata effettuata una derivatizzazione, tramite sililazione, dei flussi di entrata e di uscita al reattore, con successiva analisi in GC-MS. L’analisi quantitativa è stata effettuata grazie al metodo dello standard interno.
Dai risultati dello studio e stato riscontrato un problema di inibizione dei metanogeni e dei microrganismi aerobi con una maggiore produzione di VFAs rispetto a biometano. Tale inibizione è stata attribuita principalmente alla variabilità del sistema NH3/VFAs/pH ed alla presenza di molecole inibenti nel refluo acquoso (HTL-WW). Vista la maggiore produzione di VFAs potrebbe essere interessante valutare la separazione di questi composti ad alto valore economico utilizzati nelle industrie chimiche per la produzione di vernici, gomma, materie plastiche, pesticidi, e conservanti alimenti.

Les Etats reconnaissent l'existence d'une forme de criminalité organisée qui, en raison du modus operandi, et par les rapports qui s'établissent entre les groupes criminels, est à la source de crimes intéressant plusieurs juridictions nationales et qui a été défini comme "transnationale". La thèse examine les propositions normatives élaborées par les systèmes français et italiens, où le thème de la criminalité transnationale organisée a fait l'objet d'un intérêt croissant. Juristes et criminologues se sont efforcés de définir ce phénomène, en débattant sur de nombreux points, en particulier sur les questions posées par les caractéristiques de "l'organisation" et de la "transnationalité". Au niveau international, la recherche se concentre sur les textes juridiques importants adoptés par les Nations Unies, en particulier la Convention contre la Criminalité Transnationale Organisée, et par l'Union européenne, dont les principaux sont le Programme d'action contre la criminalité organisée de 1997 et l'action commune 733 de 1998. L'examen des législations française et italienne et la comparaison des initiatives internationales sont conduits au regard surtout les règles relatives à la responsabilité individuelle pour faits de criminalité organisée ou d'association et la responsabilité pour les délits commis par l'association<br>Legislations acknowledged the emergence of a type of organized crime which, in view of its modus operandi and relationships between the different groups and associates, concerns several domestic jurisdictions and that was defined "transnational". This dissertation examines the solutions elaborated by the legislator in France and Italy, countries where jurists and criminologists have studied transnational organized crime in depth with a view to defining the phenomenon on the basis of the its main features, organized structure and transnationality. At the international level, the attention focuses on the work done within the United Nations, particularly the Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, and the European Union, whose main instruments are the 1997 Programme of Action against organized crime and common action 733/1998

Le travail de recherche exposé dans cette thèse, montre dans la premier partie la mise en oeuvre de la méthode d'émulsification pour la préparation de petits agrégats de forme anisotrope monodisperse et de forme géométrique bien définie et on a montré que la maîtrise des paramètres de la formulation permet la sélection et la production d'un maximum d'agrégats de formes données (dimère, trimère, tétramère). On a montré la faisabilité et la possibilité d'assembler tête-tête les différents types d'agrégats de façon organisée et directionnelle, grâce à la fonctionnalisation des têtes des agrégats, avec des fonctions réactives utilisant la force d'adhésion spécifique (couple biotine/streptavidine). En deuxième partie, on a fait intervenir des forces magnétiques pour forcer et accélérer le processus d'assemblage par rapport à des forces spécifiques qui sont basées sur les effets de diffusion ; on a montré la formation de chaînes colloïdales de structure variable avec la mise en évidence des effets de relaxation sur les chaînes, rotation et torsion, qui dépendent de l'intensité de champ appliqué et de la morphologie des particules (Janus avec une partie magnétique, doublets avec un anneau). Enfin, nous avons conçu des doublets asymétriques avec des anneaux magnétiques qui engendrent la formation de chaînes chirales sous forme d'hélice. Et on a mis en évidence l'analogie entre les colloïdes et les macromolécules sur le plan structural par un simple auto-assemblage.

L'objectif de cette recherche est de comprendre pourquoi les parlementaires canadiens ont cru nécessaire de modifier la législation pénale par les projets de loi C-95, Loi modifiant le Code criminel (gangs) et d'autres lois en conséquence adopté en 1997 et G-24, Loi modifiant le Code criminel (crime organisé et application de la loi) et d'autres lois en conséquence adopté en 2001, qui ciblent spécifiquement Ie crime organisé. À cet objectif s'ajoute celui de savoir pourquoi ces projets de loi foumissent des outils pour lutter contre le crime organisé qui diffèrent des outils pour lutter contre lea autres types de crimes. Pour répondre à ces questions, nous nous sommes attardés aux représentations sociales du crime organisé des parlementaires, c'est-à-dire à la façon dont ils conçoivent ee phénomène. L'analyse de notre corpus, les débats parlementaires entourant les deux projets de loi ainsi que le Rapport de l'étude sur la criminalité érigée en entreprise de 1983, nous a permis de relever plusieurs transformations de leurs représentations sociales du crime organisé entre 1983 et 1997 ainsi qu'entre 1997 et 2001, c'est-à-dire avant l'adoption de chaque projet de loi. Ces transformations consistent, entre autres, en une différenciation entre le crime organisé et les autres formes de crimes, en l'apparition de nouveaux éléments représentationnels susceptibles de produire une peur abstraite et spontanée ainai qu'en l'émergence du crime organisé comme ennemi de la société.

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I criticize and reconfigure the ontological framework within which discussions of the organization, ontogeny, and evolution of organic form have often been conducted. Explanations of organismal form are frequently given in terms of a force or essence that exists prior to the organism’s life in the world. Traits of organisms are products of the selective environment and the unbroken linear inheritance of genetically coded developmental programs. Homological traits share unbroken vertical inheritance from a single common ancestor. Species are the product of exclusive gene flow between conspecifics and vertical genetic inheritance. And likewise, race is ascribed on the basis of pre-existing essential features. In place of this underlying preformationism which locates the source of form either in the informational program of inherited genes or within a selecting environment, I suggest form is the product of an organism’s self-construction using diverse resources. This can be understood as a modification of Kant’s view of organisms as self-organizing, set out in his Critique of Judgment (1790). Recast from this perspective the meaning and reference of “trait,” “homology,” “species,” and “race” change. Firstly, a trait may be the product of the organism’s self-construction utilizing multiple ancestral resources. Given this, homologous traits may correspond in some but not all of their features or may share some but not all of their ancestral sources. Homology may be partial. Species may acquire epigenetic, cellular, behavioural, and ecological resources both vertically and horizontally. As such, they are best conceived of as recurrent successions of self-constructed and reconstructed life cycles of organisms sharing similar resources, a similar habitus, similar capacities for sustaining themselves, and repeated generative processes. Lastly, race identity is not preformed but within the control of human organisms as agents who self-construct, interpret, and ascribe their own race identities utilizing diverse sets of dynamic relationships, lived experiences, and histories.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsala- och Stockholmsregionerna använder Mälaren och dess tillflöden som dricksvattenkällor. I Mälaren varierar halten organiskt kol från år till år och kan medföra problem såsom oönskad lukt, smak och färg vid dricksvattenrening. Det kan även vara problem med avseende på bildning av desinfektionsbiprodukter (DPB) och transport av toxiska ämnen med dricksvattnet. I takt med den globala uppvärmningen kan dessutom halten av organiskt kol i Mälarens ytvatten och dess tillflöden öka. Det medför att halten av organiskt material även skulle öka i vattenverkens råvatten och det skulle i sin tur uppstå svårigheter att hålla dagens gränsvärden. I takt med hårdare framtida reningskrav borde nuvarande reningsmetoder för organiskt material därför utvecklas. Anjonbytesprocessen MIEX® (Magnetic Ion Exchange resin process) är en lovande alternativ reningsmetod för vatten innehållande löst organiskt material (DOC). Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka reduktion av DOC med hjälp av MIEX® under förhållanden som efterliknar en fullskaleprocess. Målet var att hitta lämplig kontakttid och lämpligt antal bäddvolymer som ska renas i en fullskaleprocess. Selektivitet mot fluorescerande- och UV-absorberande (254 nm) grupper av DOC undersöktes också. Fastställda slutsatser är att en kontakttid på 15 minuter bör vara lämplig i en fullskaleprocess och att lämpligt antal renade bäddvolymer bör vara 400-1000 BV. MIEX® är selektiv för terrestert DOC, DOC av humifierat material och för aromatiska grupper av DOC.<br>The lake Mälaren is the main source of drinking water in Stockholm and Uppsala. The concentration of organic carbon varies from year to year in Mälaren and may affect, during the water purification, the drinking water resulting undesirable smell, taste and color. Another part of the problem is formation of disinfection byproducts (DPB) and transportation of toxic substances. The concentration of organic carbon in Mälaren will probably increase due to issues such as global warming. Increasing concentration of organic carbon results in harder difficulties for purification in water treatment facilities. Therefore accurate water treatment processes have to be developed considered the higher future treatment demand. A promising alternative is the anion exchange process called MIEX® (Magnetic Ion Exchange resin process) which is a process for water containing dissolved organic materials. The purpose of the project was to investigate MIEX® treatment for removal of dissolved organic matter (DOC). The aim was to find an optimal contact time and the right number of bed volumes for treatments in a water treatment facility. The aim also involved an evaluation of selectivity for fluorescence and UV-absorbing (254 nm) groups of DOC. The main conclusions of the project are that a contact time of 15 minutes and 400-1000 bed volumes should be treated in a water treatment facility. MIEX® seems to be selective for terrestrial and humified material of DOC as well as aromatic groups of DOC.
