Previous issue date: 2013-11-29Um dos motivos da gravitação não poder ser inclusa no modelo padrão e a sua não renormalizabilidade. Quase todas as propostas para a quantização da gravidade conduzem a existência de um comprimento mínimo que age como um regularizador natural. Tal efeito sugere uma relação de incerteza generalizada entre os operadores de posição e momento o que resulta em uma relação de comutação modi-cada desses operadores, e assim alterando toda a estrutura da mecânica quântica. Neste trabalho nos calculamos a ordem de grandeza deste comprimento mnimo atraves da energia do estado fundamental do átomo de hidrogênio na teoria de Dirac, baseado na relação de comutação de Quesne-Tkachuck. Comparando com dados experimentais, nos obtivemos que o valor do comprimento mínimo e de ordem de grandeza menor ou igual a 10(elevado a -20m).

Full textAbstract:
Témoins privilégiés et inédits, les « Journaux » et les « Relations d’un voyage aux Indes orientales » de 1690 offrent une source inépuisable de renseignements sur les conditions d’existence des hommes de mer à la fin du XVIIe siècle. En effet, en 1690 le jeune officier de plume Robert Challe, les gardes de la Marine Pouchot de Chantassin et Lenfant, le sociétaire des Missions Etrangères le père Charmot et le jésuite père Tachard décrivent de manière très réaliste la vie quotidienne à bord du premier armement mixte français armé pour la Compagnie des Indes orientales et pour Louis XIV. La navigation, les batailles navales, les tempêtes, les conflits politiques et commerciaux et le monde exotique découvert ou entrevu à terre constituent la trame d’un véritable protocole descriptif. En 1721, en revanche, l’imprimé du Challe vieillissant se métamorphose en un véritable roman de la mer. L’étude de l’écriture maritime a une nouvelle fois mis en relief toute l’ambiguïté de la narration viatiqueA crucial and hitherto unpublished insider’s account of the living conditions of seafarers in te late l7 century, the diaries and relations of a travel in East India in 1690 offer a wealth of information and resources on the subject. Young officer Robert Challe, navy guards Pouchot de Chantassin and Lenfant, Father Charmot — member of les Missions Etrangères (Foreign Missions) — and a Jesuit priest, Father Tachard give us a realistic description of everyday life on the first French watercraft armed for the East India Company (the Compagnie des Indes Orientales) and Louis XIV. Seafaring, battles, storms, political strife and trade wars, together with the discovery of an exotic world “discovered” for the first time, make up the thread of te narrative. Later, in an account dated 1721, however, the ageing Challe’s narrative style is found to have evolved into novel-writing. This specific study of maritime writing thus shows once more the ambiguity of any travel narrative

Benz, Lisa. "Queen consort, queen mother : the power and authority of fourteenth century Plantagenet queens." Thesis, University of York, 2009. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/14154/.
Full textAbstract:
Between 1299 and 1369 there was a continuous succession of queen consorts and queen dowagers. Margaret of France was queen consort between 1299 and 1307 and died in 1318, Isabella of France was queen consort between 1308 and 1327 and she died in 1358 and Philippa of Hainault was queen consort between 1328 and 1369 when she died. A continuous transition between queens is particularly exciting for a study of queenship because an analysis of these queens' activities provides a unique opportunity to form conclusions about nonnative queenly behaviour, and to determine the extent to which their activities depended on circumstance and inclination. The overlapping of consorts and dowagers also allows us to study the relationships between these women. Yet there has been no full-length study which takes advantage of this exceptional period in late medieval history. This present study proposes to do so, and frames this examination around four major themes: gender; status; the concept of the crown; and power and authority. By using administrative, visual and literary sources this study seeks to address the themes of gender, status, medieval concepts of the crown and power and authority. Through these themes it expounds upon the relationship of the ideology of queenship and the historical actions of three fourteenth-century queens. This thesis will demarcate when the queen's power is symbolic or achieved through her own initiative. It examines the extent to which gender and status dictated the nature of her power and authority, and it will use the concept of the crown to assess her royal status. It acknowledges that gender inequality existed in the medieval period; the queen could not rule in her own right, nor act as chancellor, treasurer or member of parliament. However, instead of emphasizing the queen's independence or her constraints and limitations, this study seeks to provide an even-handed analysis of how the queen acted. Overall, this thesis concludes that not only did the queen remain a visible part of the centralized monarchy, she also held official roles within government She was embedded in the administrative apparatus of government as a wife, a mother and a widely recognized representative of the crown.

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MÁGISTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓN DE NEGOCIOSCarrillo Navarro, Nini Johana, [Parte I], Herrera Urbina, Ernesto, [Parte II]
La falta de tiempo y estilos de vida multitarea, demandan alimentos prácticos, convenientes y en variedad de sabores. Esto implica la necesidad de ofrecer un producto que tenga un sabor superior en variados sabores, listo para consumir, y de fácil manipulación. Por esto Santa Cabra propone una línea de quesos frescos de leche de cabra, elaborados con ingredientes orgánicos 100% panameños, fácil de digerir, que crean una receta única distinguida por un sabor y textura superior en variados sabores para crear emociones que ayuden a liberar el estrés de un largo día y por tanto creen momentos inolvidables. Es envasado en recipientes de plástico rígido listo para compartir, con la ventaja que puede sellarse nuevamente para consumir en cualquier otra ocasión. La oportunidad de negocio se centra en ofrecer un producto que satisfaga los gustos de los consumidores que buscan sabores nuevos y distintivos, pero al mismo tiempo que se sientan locales y como hechos en casa. Gracias a programas de gobierno, la cría de cabras en Panamá ha crecido un 66% en la última década y en consecuencia la producción de leche a nivel nacional, generando un gran mercado para la producción de quesos; ya que hoy no existen marcas locales que abastezcan la demanda de quesos de cabra; por el contrario, solo se encuentran marcas importadas en una limitada variedad de sabores y en empaques poco funcionales que no se adaptan a las nuevas tendencias de mercado donde los consumidores buscan conveniencia y versatilidad. La oportunidad cuenta con un mercado objetivo de adultos entre 25 y 65 años en las provincias de Panamá y Panamá Oeste con ingreso promedio de 1,200 USD en adelante, así como restaurantes que ofrezcan este producto dentro de su menú, lo cual representa un tamaño de mercado de B/. 26’894.313 millones anuales. Por otro lado, el modelo de negocio se basa en la venta directa de los productos en los diferentes canales de distribución como principal fuente de ingreso, basándose en una estrategia de diferenciación. El equipo de emprendedores cuenta con una red de contactos diversificada en el área de alimentos y logística que permitirán el crecimiento acelerado y rápido posicionamiento. El proyecto requiere una inversión inicial para la compra de equipos de producción de B/. 48,370 y un capital de trabajo de B/. 95,124.41 para financiar la estructura de cobros a 30 y 90 días. Presenta retornos muy atractivos sobre la inversión, alcanzando un ROI de 6.25, una TIR del 46% con una probabilidad de ocurrencia del 70%, a expensas de una tasa de costo de capital del 15.17%. Así mismo, se ha estimado un periodo de recuperación sobre la inversión de 25 meses y un VAN de B/. 291,387.28. Para lograr el desarrollo de esta oportunidad de negocios, se ofrecerá una participación accionaria del 36% con un puesto en la junta directiva a cambio de un aporte de B/. 48,370.

Clifford-Amos, Terence. "The geography of the Faerie Queene." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1999. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4145/.
Full textAbstract:
The task has been to show that Spenser imagined Faeryland according to his own travel experience in England. The geography of The Faerie Queene 1 - the only book of the poem not set in the South, and the only book without coastlines - reveals Spenser's experience and interest in the North and the Northern Rebellion of 1569. We explore The Faerie Queene 1 (possibly quite extensively planned and drafted before the poet set sail for Ireland in August 1580) as a discrete geography, finding it quite unlike the terrains of the books which follow. This is so because Spenser almost certainly had never gained any substantive travel experience in the South West, where are found the coastlines he came to know during his brief and prolonged returns to England during 1580-96. Written during Spenser's life in Ireland, The Faerie Queene 2-6 is enacted on English soil where, I argue, Spenser's journeys to and from the South West - the coastlines, forestry, settlements and towns - can often be traced and mapped in the journeys of the poem's travellers. The travels of Artegall, Britomart, Guyon and Calidore establish the western terrain and the western and southern coasts of the poem. Such is the importance of the travels of these knights to the poem's geography, that we can establish Artegall's journey to the West Coast, and Britomart's journey to the same place. Britomart knows the coast to which Artegall is bound is the place where she will find him. Distractions during the journey keep him from the 'appointed tide' and Britomart having arrived at Artegall's intended coast, journeys inland from the Rich Strond (Plymouth) to find him - somewhere along the western route between London and Plymouth.

Full textAbstract:
Rocks of the Quesnel Lake area are divided into three units: unit 1, a continental margin sequence; unit 2, The Crooked Amphibolite (an ocean-floor sequence); and unit 3, the Quesnel sedimentary and volcanic sequence. Two conglomerate localities within unit 3 contain clasts identified as being derived from deformed rocks of units 1 and 2. Deformation of the combined package of units 1 and 2 must have accompanied the emplacement of unit 2 onto unit 1 sometime between the deposition of unit 2 (Mississippian - Permian) and the deposition of unit 3 (Triassic - Jurassic).
Rocks of unit 1 have been divided by earlier workers into the Barkerville and Cariboo terranes, separated by the Pleasant Valley Thrust. An extensive review shows that the two terranes are stratigraphically similar and share most of their structural history. The Pleasant Valley Thrust, if it exists, is an extremely early structure. These data do not satisfy the criteria for naming these units 'terranes'.
The rocks of unit 1 and 2 experienced an extra phase of deformation not seen in rocks of unit 3. A total of five phases of folding are present. Phases 1 through 4 are approximately coaxial with northwest axes and variably oriented axial planes. Phase 5 has northeast trending axes and vertical axial planes. F₁ is seen in units 1 and 2 only and is visible in outcrop as rootless isoclinal folds and a transposed foliation. In thin section, S₁ is only preserved within the earliest garnet porphyroblasts. F₂ folding is the major deformational event. Peak metamorphism accompanied and outlasted it. Major F₂ folds are present in the field and are accompanied by an axial planar foliation. In thin section, S₂ wraps around earlier porphyroblasts but is overgrown by later ones (staurolite, kyanite). F₃ folding is responsible for the major map-scale structures. It postdated the peak of metamorphism and isograds axe folded by it. In thin section S₃ is commonly a crenulation cleavage or transposed foliation. Some late mineral growth accompanied the early stages of F₃. F₄ and F₅ are buckle folds and kinks and may be conjugate fold sets from a single deformational event. They are not generally visible in thin section.
The assemblage silica - garnet - aluminosilicate - mica (SGAM) is common in amphibolite grade meta-pelitic rocks, and can be used as a thermobarometer if the activities of muscovite and biotite can be calculated accurately. A new method of calculating the ideal activity of mica components is proposed. Standard models do not adequately account for the degree of coupled substitution that takes place. The proposed method stores the site occupancies in a 4-dimensional array and manipulates the entries to satisfy three criteria. 1: That non-permitted ionic configurations (species) have an activity of zero. 2: That the sum of all activities is unity. 3: That the sum of all activities of species containing a particular ion in a particular site is the site occupancy of that ion. The method is computationally simple and yields activity values that satisfy the distribution of species equations of an ideal complex solution model.
Standard state properties for annite and Margules solution parameters for biotite are determined using mathematical programming techniques on published experimental and natural assemblage data. Published volume data indicate that Fe-Mg mixing in biotite is ideal. The data permit the calculation of four Margules parameters (MgTi, FeTi, MgAl, FeAl). The differences MgTi - FeTi and MgAl - FeAl are similar to those found by previous workers but the treatment of the data suggests moderately large individual values for the Margules parameters (up to 75 kJ/mol). Using these activity models the SGAM thermobarometer is applied to several sets of published analyses which show that this calibration offers distinct improvements over previous calibrations. Pressures determined using the new calibration are consistent with other barometers and the aluminosilicate polymorph present. In addition, several data sets show field gradients, particularly in P, not previously recognized and which agree with field observations.
The SGAM barometer applied to the analytical data from the Quesnel Lake area yields pressures and temperatures that are consistent with the mapped isograds. The pressure and temperature gradients indicate that the final setting of the thermobarome-ter was diachronous across the area and during the early stages of F₃ folding. Hot rocks in cores of anticlines 'set' at later times and at shallower depths than cooler rocks in adjacent synclines. Tight spacing of isograds is more consistent with post-metamorphic folding than with high thermal gradients.Science, Faculty of

The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, one of New York’s largest street gangs allowed me through the Street Organization Project to interview and conduct field research with their female members during the years of 1997-1999. This paper is a direct result of my research and it examines the processes leading Latinas to join the female branch of the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, show the changing nature of gang female participation and the motives for continuing within the gang.
The New York State Latin Queens were founded in 1991 after a manifesto for the Latin Queens was penned by King Blood, the First President of the New York State Latin Kings. Until that time, there had been no organized group for women who wanted to join the Latin Kings. They were called the Naia Tribe. After 1996, the role of the Queens began to expand with the ascension of King Tone to the Inca position (First President) of the New York State. Under King Tone’s leadership, the rules of the Queens were amended. For the first time the Queens began to put forward their own demands, which challenged some of the discriminatory rules and male privileges of the group
The Latin Queens I interviewed were from different areas in New York with a predominantly Puerto Rican and Dominican background. The respondents described their motives for joining either directly or indirectly under a multitude of different themes that spoke to the effects of systematic physical abuse, economic deprivation, health problems, emotional trauma, cultural denial and family disintegration. I will analyze these in greater depth by breaking them down and contrasting the findings to the four themes also identified in the literature as: issues of identity, family pressures, economic survival and family/community networks.

Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although The Faerie Queene was written in 1589 as a commentary on and criticism of issues which would concern many sixteenth-century Protestant subjects of Queen Elizabeth of England, Spenser creates in his text worlds which even a twentieth-century reader can find significant. Allegorical representations, mythical, historical and poetical figures and pastoral retreats, for example, not only reflect the harsh realities which sixteenth-century English society experienced, but also offer the possibility of escape to worlds of divine and charitable interaction. Spenser, drawing on Philip Sidney's An Apology for Poetry, constructs an ideal world where there is no strife, only peaceful interaction and stability, as opposed to the problems and fears of the "real" world of sixteenth-century England. The story of Faery Land is, therefore, about a magical world of wish fulfilment, but at the same time it also draws on the concrete reality of sixteenth-century England, which has relevance for a twentieth-century world still concerned with many of the same issues of crime, justice, religion, government, relationships and history. Discussion in this thesis focuses on the different "real" and ideal worlds and the devices used to represent these worlds in the narrative of The Faerie Queene. Chapter 1 deals with allegorical representation and distinguishes between two levels of representation: a "literal" or primary level of signification which reflects the everyday experiences of the sixteenth-century reader, and the allegorical level whereby these experiences and desires are personified. The allegory, in tum, communicates and reveals different doctrines or themes: this chapter shows how Redcrosse represents the struggle of the religious man who finally earns salvation by perseverance and dependence on the grace of God. In this allegorical world, Spenser shows the religious conflicts, doubts and victories of the sixteenth-century Protestant man. Chapter 2 explores a series of allegorical parallels in plot, theme and structure in Book 2 of The Faerie Queene which create the "real" and ideal worlds through which Guyon now runs his race. Here, the discussion focuses on the clues provided by the allegory which lead the reader to a redefinition of the categories of good and evil. The primary purpose of the allegory is, therefore, didactic and the sixteenth-century reader is taught how to interpret the signs and symbols of Spenser's allegorical, historical and mythical worlds. This chapter concludes with an examination of Spenser's mythical devices and an exploration of the historical significance of his fictional characters and plots - all of which help the reader to grasp the significance of Spenser's world of knights and fairies. Chapter 3 focuses on a discussion of Books 3 and 4, in which issues of love and friendship come to shape Spenser's ideal world. The analyses consider how sixteenth-century perceptions of marriage, love and power may have influenced his conceptionalization of such an ideal world. The chapter concludes with an exploration of sixteenth-century concerns with time and discord, and demonstrates how Spenser fmally resolves these issues in his vision of the Garden of Adonis. Chapter 4 deals with Book 5, where Artegall represents the just knight. Here the thesis examines Spenser's political aspirations, and shows how historical events are reflected in the actions of characters and how they may influence Spenser's vision of the ideal society with its just ruler. This discussion also focuses, among other things, on those factors which may have contributed to Spenser's disillusionment with sixteenth-century society. Chapter 5 concludes with Spenser's pastoral ideal of Book 6, which brings the promise of peace and prosperity, as opposed to a life of waste and thwarted ambition at Court. On Mount Acidale, Spenser's alternative worlds coincide, as Calidore, representing the fallen and "real" world of Faery Land, is allowed a glimpse of the poetic and divine worlds which the poet, Colin Clout, already shares with three Graces and his mistress. Chapter 5 examines the poet's autobiographical persona in the figure of Colin Clout and the relevance of his appearance on Mount Acidale in particular, and in the poem in general. It is the intention of this thesis to follow the route which Spenser has marked out, to read and interpret the signs and to finally share in this world of dream and thought, experience and vision.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ten spyte van die feit dat Spenser se Faerie Queene reeds in 1589 geskryfis as 'n kommentaar of kritiek op kwessies wat vir menige sestiende-eeuse Protestantse onderdaan van koningin Elizabeth van Engeland van belang sou wees, is daar in Spenser se teks wêrelde geskep wat selfs vir 'n twintigste eeuse leser waarde sou hê. Allegoriese voorstellings, mitologiese-, historiese-, en poëtiese figure, asook herderstoevlugte byvoorbeeld reflekteer nie net die harde realiteite waaraan 'n sestiende-eeuse Engelse gemeenskap blootgestel is nie, maar bied ook die moontlikheid van ontsnapping na wêrelde van goddelike en mensliewende interaksie. Spenser, wat gebruik maak van Sidney se An Apology for Poetry, konstrueer 'n ideale wêreld waar daar nie konflik of oorlog is nie, slegs vreedsame interaksie en stabiliteit; teenoor die probleme en vrese of "realiteite" wat 'n sestiende-eeuse Engeland gekenmerk het. Die Faerie Queene gaan dus oor 'n verbeeldingryke wêreld van wensvervulling, maar terselfdertyd verwys dit ook na die konkrete realiteit van 'n sestiende-eeuse Engeland wat relevansie het vir 'n twintigste-eeuse gemeenskap nog steeds gemoeid met baie van dieselfde kwessies rakende misdaad, geregtigheid, godsdiens, regering, verhoudings en geskiedenis. Bespreking in hierdie tesis fokus op die verskillende "werklike" en ideale wêrelde asook die tegnieke waarvan daar gebruik gemaak is om hierdie wêrelde in Spenser se gedig voor te stel. Hoofstuk 1 bespreek die allegoriese voorstelling en onderskei tussen twee vlakke van representasie: 'n "letterlike," of primêre vlak van aanduiding wat die alledaagse ervaringe van die sestiende-eeuse leser voorstel en die allegoriese vlak waar hierdie ervaringe en begeertes gepersonifieer word. Die allegorie, op sy beurt, kommunikeer en onthul verskillende leerstellings ofboodskappe: hierdie hoofstuk wys hoe Rederosse die stryd van die gelowige man verteenwoordig wat uiteindelik gered word as gevolg van volharding en erkenning van sy afhanklikheid van God. Hierdie wêreld beeld die konflik, onsekerheid en oorwinning van die sestiende-eeuse Protestant uit. Hoofstuk 2 ondersoek 'n reeks allegoriese paralleie in plot, tema en struktuur in Boek 2 van The Faerie Queene wat die "werklike" en ideale wêrelde skep waardeur Guyon nou sy wedren hardloop. Hier fokus die bespreking op die leidrade wat deur die allegorie voorsien word en waardeur die leser gelei word tot 'n herdefinieering van die kategorieë van goed en sleg. Die primêre doel van die allegorie is dus didakties en die sestiende-eeuse leser word geleer hoe om die tekens en simbole van Spenser se allegoriese, historiese en mitologiese wêrelde te interpreteer. Hierdie hoofstuk sluit af met 'n ondersoek na Spenser se mitologiese tegnieke en die geskiedkundige relevansie van sy fiktiewe karakters en plot - waarvan laasgenoemde die leser help om Spenser se wêreld met sy ridders en feë te kan interpreteer. Hoofstuk 3 fokus op 'n bespreking van Spenser se Boeke 3 en 4 waar liefde en vriendskap bydra tot die skep van Spenser se ideale wêreld. Die hoofstuk ondersoek hoe sestiende-eeuse persepsies van die huwelik, liefde en mag Spenser se konsep van so 'n ideale wêreld kon beïnvloed. Die hoofstuk sluit af met 'n ondersoek na sestiende-eeuse bemoeienis met tyd en wanorde en demonstreer hoe Spenser uiteindelik 'n oplossing vind in sy visie van die Tuin van Adonis. Hoofstuk 4 bespreek Boek 4 waar Artegall die ridder van reg en geregtigheid is. Hier ondersoek die tesis Spenser se politiese aspirasies en wys hoe geskiedkundige gebeure eerstens in die optrede van karakters gereflekteer word en tweedens ook Spenser se visie van die ideale gemeenskap met sy regverdige leier kon beïnvloed. Die bespreking fokus ook onder andere op daardie faktore wat kon bydra tot Spenser se ontnugtering met 'n sestiendeeeuse gemeenskap. Hoofstuk 5 sluit af met Spenser se herders-ideaal in Boek 6 wat die belofte bring van vrede en voorspoed, teenoor 'n lewe van verspeelde en verlore geleenthede of misplaaste ambisie in Elizabeth se hof. Dit is op Mount Acidale dat Spenser se verskillende wêrelde saamkom wanneer Calidore, wat die sondige en "werklike" wêreld verteenwoordig, 'n vlugtige blik in die poëtiese en goddelike wêrelde gegun word. 'n Wêreld waarin die digter, Colin Clout en die drie "Graces" saam met sy geliefde, reeds deel. Hoofstuk 5 ondersoek die digter se outobiografiese persoon in die figuur Colin Clout en die relevansie van sy spesifieke verskyning op Mount Acidale en sy algemene verskyning in die gedig. Dit is die doel van hierdie tesis om die roete te volg wat Spenser uitgelê het, om die tekens te lees en te interpreteer en om ten slotte te deel in hierdie wêreld van droom en gedagtes, ervaring en vISIe.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis demonstrates the extent to which the sixteenth-century allegorical epic poem, The Faerie Queene, engages with early modern theories of salvation. Much has been written about Spenser’s consideration of theological ideas in Book I and this has prompted scholars to speculate about the poet’s own doctrinal inclinations. However, little has been written about the ways in which the remaining books in the poem also explore Christian ideas of atonement, grace and damnation. This study advances Spenserian scholarship by stressing the soteriological dimension of books II, III, IV and VI. It considers how the poem’s doctrinal ambiguity would have meant that Spenser’s readers would have been able to interpret the poem in terms of the different schools of thought on the conditionality, or otherwise, of election and reprobation. As the thesis suggests, these particular books were alive to the doctrinal disagreements of the period, and explore the complex theological positions and divisions that existed at the time. By shedding light on the religious tenor of these remaining books, the study has implications for our sense of how the poem would have prompted sixteenth century readers to reflect on the means of their own salvation.

Full textAbstract:
The boundary between the Omineca Belt and the Intermontane Belt in Central British Columbia represents the suture between autochthonous North America (Barkerville Terrane) and several allochthonous terranes accreted from the west In the Quesnel Lake region allochthonous sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Quesnellia Terrane, accreted in the Jurassic, are in sharp tectonic contact with underlying siliclastic and carbonate metasedimentary rocks. The Ogden Peak study area is located 10 km east of and structurally below this suture zone and is thus well situated for observing deformational styles within the autochthonous package. Rocks exposed near Ogden Peak comprise the Hadrynian(?) to Paleozoic(?) Snowshoe Group and local diabasic intrusions. These rocks record a deformational history involving four phases of folding (D₁-D₄) and later brittle faulting (D₅). Earliest recognizable structures consist of recumbant isoclinal folds with a well-developed transposed foliation. This foliation is tightly folded about northwest trending, southwest verging second phase structures. Northwest trending third phase structures and northeast trending fourth phase structures occur as both crenulations and open buckles. Southeast dipping faults cut all earlier structures with tens of meters of normal offset
Phase 1 and Phase 2 fold styles are compatible with a flattened buckle fold mechanism of formation, associated with elevated temperatures and reduced viscosity contrasts across layering. Later fold styles are controlled by higher viscosity contrasts and detachment along layering.
All phases of deformation are dominated by semi-brittle mechanisms of dislocation slip and glide, mechanical twinning, and microcracking. Temperature activated diffusional creep is only locally active and does not contribute appreciably to total strain.
The mineral assemblage garnet-staurolite-kyanite defines a metamorphic peak late in D₂. Metamorphic temperatures of approximately 530° C at 6.0 kb have been determined using garnet/biotite geothermometry. Extensive retrograde metamorphism spans D₃ and D₄, overprinting prograde assemblages and providing evidence for abundant fluids late in deformation.

Full textAbstract:
« Quelle sociologie pour quelle démocratie ? Rationalité politique et émancipation » a pour ambition d’interroger les liens entre l’épistémologie, la théorie sociologique et la posture ou le type d’engagement du sociologue dans la cité. Il s’agit d’explorer les conditions de possibilité d’une théorie critique, non idéologique, mais fondée en raison sociologique.Une première partie, s’appuyant sur des recherches actions, s’intéresse à la question de la participation des citoyens. Un premier exemple, une sociologie du Théâtre de l’opprimé, montre comment ce type d’intervention peut être interprété comme un dispositif de subjectivation politique. Un deuxième exemple pose la question de la participation à partir d’une tout autre conception du social. A l’occasion de l’élaboration d’un dispositif de participation citoyenne sur le territoire de Feyzin, nous avons tenté d’articuler une sociologie particulière (théorie de l’acteur-réseau) et une conception de la raison pratique (avec Vincent Descombes) pour construire une Conférence riveraine. Dans ces deux cas ce sont les liens entre paradigme sociologique et modalités d’intervention démocratique qui sont examinés. Une seconde partie, plus épistémologique, s’intéresse au fonctionnement de la discipline sociologique et présente trois tentatives d’élaboration d’une posture qui vise à mettre en son centre la notion (et la pratique) d’espace de controverse. Le premier exemple fait retour sur la Querelle allemande des sciences sociales car cette querelle est exemplaire, à la fois d’une controverse qui tente d’explorer les différents arguments disponibles, à un moment donné, mais aussi, d’un point de vue plus substantiel, pose les fondements de deux interprétations du monde social qui sont toujours actives dans les débats contemporains. Le deuxième se situe à un niveau plus théorique, et, à partir d’un colloque qui réunissait différents auteurs partisans d’une théorie de l’activité pour penser le travail, tente de mettre au jour un point de vue de l’activité qui pourrait être commun à l’ensemble de ces auteurs. L’idée est assez simple : il s’agit de contribuer à construire une cumulativité et un point d’accord dont les auteurs pourraient se revendiquer (notamment dans une perspective politique). Enfin, le troisième prend le risque d’explorer ce que l’on appelle parfois un point de vue « postanthropocentré » (ou « désanthropocentré », les termes sont bien loin d’être stabilisés) en sciences sociales. Si l’on prend au sérieux la question d’un approfondissement de la démocratie, jusqu’où peut-on (doit-on) aller dans cette direction ? Que peut signifier pour la sociologie l’idée de prendre en compte les « non-humains » ? C’est ainsi, au moyen de ces multiples angles d’attaque, que ce travail propose de déployer notre interrogation sur les relations entre épistémologie, sociologie et politique" What sociology for which democracy? Political rationality and emancipation " has for ambition to question the links between the epistemology, the sociological theory and the posture or the kind of commitment of the sociologist in the city. It is a question of exploring the conditions of possibility of a critical, not ideological theory, but established in sociological reason. A first part, leaning on researches-actions, is interested in the question of the participation of the citizens. A first example, a sociology of the Theater of the oppressed, shows how this type of intervention can be interpreted as a device of political subjectivation. The second example raises the question of the participation from quite a different design of the social. On the occasion of the elaboration of a device of participation citizen on the territory of Feyzin, we tried to articulate a particular sociology (theory of the actor-network) and a design of the reason has a practice (with Vincent Descombes) to build a citizen Conference. In these two cases it is the links between sociological paradigm and modalities of democratic intervention that are examined. A more epistemological, second part, is interested in the functioning of the sociological discipline and presents three attempts of elaboration of a posture which aims at putting in its center the notion (and the practice) of « space of controversy ». The first example makes return on the German Quarrel of the social sciences because this quarrel is exemplary, at the same time of a controversy which tries to explore the various available arguments, at some point, but also, from a more substantial point of view, puts the foundations of two interpretations of the social world which are always active in the contemporary debates. The second is situated at a more theoretical level, and, from a colloquium which gathered various partisan authors of a theory of the activity to think of the work, of tent to bring to light a point of view of the activity which could be common to all these authors. The idea is rather simple : it is a question of contributing to build a cumulativity and a point all right the authors of which could claim to be (in particular in a political perspective). Finally, the third takes the risk of exploring what we sometimes call a point of view " postanthropocentric" (or " desanthropocentric ", the terms are far from being stabilized) in social sciences. If we take seriously the question of a deepening of the democracy, to where do we can go in this direction? What can mean for the sociology the idea to take into account the "non-human beings" ? It is so, by means of these multiple angles of attack, that this work suggests displaying our interrogation on the relations between epistemology, sociology and politics

Full textAbstract:
The Eureka Peak are lies within the Quesnel terrane of the Intermontane Belt, adjacent to the Omineca Belt - Intermontane Belt tectonic boundary. It represents a convergent zone between the arc related Quesnel terrane and parautochthonous Barkerville terrane. The terrane boundary is defined by the Eureka thrust
Underlying the area are middle Triassic to early Jurassic sedimentary and volcanic rocks, represented by the Quesnel River Group and Takla Group, respectively. Petrologic and geochemical studies of the Takla Group volcanics suggest protoliths of island arc and marginal basin affinities. The Quesnel terrane structurally overlies Hadrynian to early Paleozoic metasediments of the Snowshoe Group (Barkerville terrane). The base of the Quesnel terrane is marked by mylonitized mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Crooked Amphibolite.
Correlation of features across the plate boundary has established the structural continuity in the region, and recognition of structural phases common to both terranes which developed in response to plate convergence. The deformational history involves two phases of coaxial folding of a mechanically heterogeneous lithologic sequence, accompanied by extensive pressure solution, and later overprinting by NW trending extensional fractures. Synchronous to F₁, detachment surfaces developed along major stratigraphic contacts due to contrasting Theologies of adjacent lithologies. Second phase deformation established the regional map pattern, folding the detachment surfaces and the tectonic boundary.
Synchronous to deformation, regional metamorphism is evidenced by the growth of minerals characteristic of amphibolite fades in the Barkerville terrane, and greenschist fades in the Quesnel terrane. Dissipation of heat from the underlying sequences is suggested by the rapid transition in metamorphic grade observed across the boundary. Cleavage surfaces have acted as a locus along which pressure solution has occurred, providing a pathway for the escape of fluids generated during metamorphism. Deposition of material within extensional fractures occurred throughout the deformational history. Fracturing is prominent adjacent to the Quesnel River Group and Takla Group contact, where the viscosity contrast between the two lithologies provided an effective barrier to extensive fluid flow. Concentration of fluids along the contact may have had a buoying effect on the volcanics, allowing furter eastward translation during deformation.Science, Faculty of

L'objet de cette these est d'analyser les caracteristiques de la crise de paiement latino-americaine et l'ajustement opere par les pays endettes et les banques creancieres. La premiere partie s'appuie sur la theorie de l'information asymetique pour comprendre l'emergence de la crise. Il est suggere que lorsque les banques ont une information incomplete sur la nature de la cessation de paiement observee, une situation ou aucune banque ne prete peut survenir. Les fondements de la politique de refinancement de la dette sont ensuite examines. La seconde partie souligne qu'aujourd'hui une situation de defaut partiel de l'amerique latine ne menacerait pas d'insolvabilite le systeme bancaire international. Dans la troisieme partie, il est montre que le mexique, le bresil et l'argentine n'ont pas reussi a accomplir le double ajustement interne et externe, requis par le paiement du service de la dette et qu'un "gaspillage de croissance economique" a probablement eu lieu. La quatrieme partie s'attache a approfondir l'idee qu'un allegement des obligations de paiement latino-americaines pourrait etre benefique a la fois aux debiteurs et au groupe des creanciersThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse the characteristics of the latin american payment crisis and the adjustment of both debtor countries and creditor banks to this crisis. The theory of imperfect information helps to understand the occurrence of the debt crisis. When banks have imperfect information on the actual causes of default, a situation where no bank wants to extend any new loans is likely to arise. The refinancing policy is then studied. It is underlined that the solvency of the banking system is no longer threatened by latin america. It is then shown that mexico, brazil and argentina have failed to make both the internal and external adjustments required by the payment of the debt service and that a "waste of potential economic growth" has probably occured. Finally, we studied the idea that a debt payment relief policy could be beneficial to debtors and the group of their creditors

Full textAbstract:
Renaissance patriarchy maintained very clear distinctions between what was appropriately "masculine" and "feminine." Modern feminist criticism and research have tried to dispel some of the old illusions, and so they offer a fresh approach to evaluating the personal and social implications of gender in the Renaissance. Such perspectives can be specifically applied for enhanced appreciation of Spenser's Faerie Queene, after an initial assessment of Renaissance patriarchy itself.The Faerie Queene, we find, questions many important conventions of gender roles in Renaissance patriarchal society. Spenser crosses the familiar boundaries of appropriate or accepted female social status and options, and situates both males and females in roles which seemingly challenge the existing conventions by advancing the possibility of a new perspective. Spenser examines femininity from a specifically feminine point of view and invites a broadened understanding of the feminine. He portrays many different aspects of femininity and his titular heroine, Britomart, approximates the modern androgyne. The poem suggests a variety of alternative gender roles for both females and males, and also uses symbolic aspects of gender, so that characters ultimately cease to be gender-specific in their significance. That too tends to soften distinctions between males and females, by allegorically representing the self in such a way that it is seen to have both masculine and feminine aspects.
Spenser's attempt to broaden his readers' understanding and valuation of the feminine and his suggestions of alternative roles for both genders, helped open the door to new freedom and equality for women by inviting redefinition or revision of culturally received notions of gender and its personal and social implications.

Full textAbstract:
Beowulf presents a literary starting point in the discussion of peace weaving, reflecting the primary focus of Anglo Saxon epic poetry on the male hero rather than the peace weaver. Scholarship on peace weaving figures in the poem tend to negatively perceive the lack of female presence, and determine the tradition as one set up for failure. Adding historical peace weavers like Queen Emma to the discourse encourages scholars to view smaller successes, like temporary peace, as building on each other to ultimately cause the peace weaver to be successful at her task. From studying the life of Queen Emma, the continuous struggle of such a figure to be an influential presence in her nation is more evident. Combining the images of peace weaving set down by literature and then history prove that figures participating in the tradition are as vital to the heroic world as the warrior himself.

Full textAbstract:
Le CARIF-OREF Guadeloupe, association loi 1901 chargée de diffuser l'information professionnelle, a mis en place pour le compte du Conseil Régional de Guadeloupe un portail Internet, destiné à mettre en relation les différents acteurs et demandeurs de la formation professionnelle. L'étude empirique des relations développées, au sein du Portail, a révélé que chacun décide de l'utiliser ou de ne pas l'utiliser, de se l'approprier ou de ne pas se l'approprier. Partant de cette expérience, cette thèse s'évertue à analyser, pourquoi les acteurs et demandeurs de formation des DFA s'approprient ou ne s'approprient pas les outils Internet d'information sur la formation mis à leur disposition. Elle éclaire, également, sur le rôle et la fonction : des intérêts, des acquis personnels et professionnels, des réseaux relationnels préconstitutés dans l'appropriation ou la "non-appropriation" des technologies de l'information et de la communication. L'interrogation porte, ici, sur les "causes d'appropriation des outils Internet d'information". C'est la raison de l'intitulé interrogatif de ce mémoire : Quelle information pour quelle formation professionnelle dans les DFA (Département français d'Amérique) ? La méthodologie abordée consiste à vérifier trois hypothèses en réponse à une telle problématique. La première consiste à considérer que l'appropriation passe par un processus d'imprégnation. C'est-à-dire que l'appropriation provient d'une sensibilisation précoce aux outils Internet dans le milieu familial. Cette sensibilisation précoce avantage l'individu dans sa démarche de gestion des connaissances. La seconde hypothèse pose l'appropriation des outils Internet et le développement d'une gestion des connaissances comme la résultante d'une culture élargie. Une culture regroupant les diverses cultures personnelles et professionnelles de l'individu. La troisième hypothèse fait de l'appropriation des outils Internet l'aboutissement d'une stratégie individuelle mise en place par l'individu. Pour vérifier ces hypothèses de départ, le contexte de l'appropriation est d'abord délimité par une approche systémique de la formation professionnelle dans les DFA. Puis des données aussi bien quantitatives que qualitatives sont livréesThe CARIF-OREF Guadeloupe, association law 1901 charged to disseminate information on professional training, set up on behalf of the Regional council of Guadeloupe a Internet portal, intented to connect the various actors and applicants of professional training. The empirical study of the development relations, within the Portal, revealed that each on decides to use or not to use it, to adapt it or not to adapt it. On the basis of this experiment, this thesis try to analyse, why the actors and applicants of formation of the DFA adapt themselves or are not adapted tools Internet of information on the formation placed at their disposal. It reforms, also, on the role and the function : interests, asstes personal and professional, relational networks pre-made up in the appropriation or it "not-appropriation" of Communication and Information Technologies. The interrogation relates, here, to the "causes of appropriation of tools Internet of information". It is the reason of the interrogative heading of this memory : Which information for which professional training in the DFA (French Departments of America) ? Methodology approached consists in checking three assumptions in answer to such problem. The first consists in considering that the appropriation passes by a process of impregnation. That is say the appropriation comes from an early sensitizing to tools Internet in family circle. This early sensitizing favours the individual in his step of knowledge management. The second assumption poses the appropriation of tools Internet and the development of a knowledge management like the resultant of a widened culture. A culture gathering the various personal and professional cultures of the individual. The third assumption makes appropriation of tools Internet the result of an individual strategy installation by the individual. To check these starting assumptions, the context of the appropriation is initially delimited by a systemic approach of professional trainig in the DFA. Then quantitative data as well as qualitative are delivered

Full textAbstract:
The southern extension of the Quesnel Lake Gneiss lies approximately 10 km northeast of the Intermontane-Omineca Belt tectonic contact in the southwestern Cariboo Mountains, British Columbia. The aim of this thesis is the investigation of the structural development and style at a deep structural level relative to the 1MB-OB contact, and to determine the nature origin of the southern extension of the Quesnel Lake Gneiss. Omineca Belt rocks in the Quesnel Lake region are the Late Proterozoic to Late Paleozoic Snowshoe Group metasediments. The Snowshoe Group rocks in this study area comprise a package of variably micaceous schist, quartz-biotite gneissose schist, calcareous metasandstone, marble and amphibolite which represent deformed and metamorphosed continental margin deposits. The Quesnel Lake Gneiss is a predominately subalkaline granodioritic intrusive into these sediments that has been modified by subsequent deformation and metamorphism. High Sr content, low initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios and an alkalic component imply a mantle source although possible Pb inheritance in zircons and regional Sr data suggest a certain amount of assimilated continental crust A U-Pb zircon age on the Quesnel Lake Gneiss indicates intrusion in Mid-Paleozoic, probably Devonc—Mississippian time. A regional metamorphic event affecting the entire sedimentary and intrusive package is interpreted to have occurred in the Middle-Jurassic as suggested by sphene U-Pb geochronometry and regional stratigraphic relations.
The structural sequence observed in this area is composed of five phases of folding followed by a brittle fracturing and faulting phase. The entire sequence of deformation is seen in both the Snowshoe Group and the Quesnel Lake Gneiss. A pervasive metamorphic foliation defines the compositional layering (S0/1) and is axial planar to isoclinal first phase folds in both rock packages. Syn-metamorphic second phase deformation is evidenced as tight similar-style folds with an axial surface penetratively developed at a low angle (10-15°) to the compositional layering. Syn- to post-metamorphic third phase deformation produced southwest verging folds with only locally penetrative axial surfaces developed at approximately 40° to SO/1 compositional layering and northwest plunging fold axes nearly coaxial with F2 folds. The Quesnel Lake Gneiss shows a lack of F3 macroscopic folds. Fourth and fifth phase folds are brittle, broad warps that are only locally developed in the more micaceous units. A series of ť vs. α plots on second and third phase folds in both rock types indicates a ductile regime associated with high shear strain during F2 deformation with decreasing shear strain and less ductile behavior during the third phase of deformation. This change in behavior corresponds with the waning of metamorphism.
At least one regional metamorphic episode has affected this area in association with the deformational sequence outlined above. The metamorphic peak occurs post-F2 and pre- to syn-F3 deformation producing Barrovian-type assemblages of the amphibolite facies. Metamorphic temperatures of approximately 590° C at 5.5 kb were determined by garnet-biotite geothermometry in sillimanite-bearing schists northeast of the Quesnel Lake Gneiss.
A tectonic history for the rocks in this map area began with the deposition of the Snowshoe Group sediments in a continent margin basin from the Late Proterozoic to the Early Mississippian. Intrusion into this package by the Quesnel Lake granitic body occurred between 317 and 400 Ma ago. The first phase of deformation recognized in the Snowshoe Group and Quesnel Lake Gneiss is absent in the Quesnellia and Slide Mountain rocks and may also be of Paleozoic age. The accretion of Quesnellia onto the continental margin in Early Jurassic time is inferred to have initiated the subsequent deformation and regional metamorphism.Science, Faculty of

In late Proterozoic to early Paleozoic time, continent-derived clastic sediment and minor carbonate of the Snowshoe Group were deposited in a continental slope to shelf environment, and shallow marine elastics and carbonates of the Cariboo Group were deposited nearer to the shore of North America. The Snowshoe Group is divided into a lower sequence of micaceous quartzite, pelite, and minor amphibolite, all interlayered with quartz diorite sheets; and an upper sequence of micaceous quartzite, pelite, and carbonate with minor calc-silicate and amphibolitic rocks.
Early isoclinal (F1A) and NE-verging tight folds (F1B) formed together with a metamorphic foliation. Tight to normal, cylindroidal second phase (F2) folds, characterized by SW-vergence and NW plunge, formed during the mid-Jurassic Columbian orogeny at about the same time as accretion of suspect terranes southwest of the map area. Prograde metamorphism in the Barrovian series of amphibolite facies was synkinematic to postkinematic to F2 folding, with maximum metamorphic recrystallization outlasting deformation. Garnet-biotite geothermometry indicates temperatures of 525 ± 20°C for pelites near the kyanite to sillimanite zone isograd. Garnet-aluminosilicate-ilmenite geobarometry limits P to less than 7 kb. Grossular-anorthite-aluminosi1icate geobarometry gives P = 5.5 ± 0.7 kb. Retrograde metamorphism and F3 kink-folding occurred during uplift, followed by broad warping (F4) with NE trend. The low-angle, postmetamorphic Little River Fault emplaced chlorite to biotite zone phyllite and carbonate of the Cariboo Group, in the hanging wall, against staurolite-kyanite to sillimanite schists and gneisses of the Snowshoe Group, in the footwall, with latest movement of the hanging wall in an ESE direction.
A Rb-Sr model depositional age of approximately 750 Ma, assuming an initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio of 0.708, was obtained for Snowshoe Group metasedimentary rocks. Paleozoic plutonism is indicated by a Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron date of 530 ± 94 Ma with initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio of 0.706, and U-Pb dates on zircon, indicating a minimum age of 335 Ma and maximum age of about 450 Ma, for quartz dioritic gneiss intrusive into the Snowshoe Group early in its deformational history, pre-F1B folding. Late- to post-metamorphic pegmatite cooled through 400-500°C at 86 ± 3 Ma. The age of the Little River Fault is bracketed between intrusion of pegmatite and a Miocene(?) erosion surface.Science, Faculty of

La présente thèse a pour objet d'étudier la régulation juridique du réseau Internet et plus précisément, les mutations entraînées par Internet sur les rapports qu'entretiennent les Sujets de Droit et la norme juridique. Dans un premier temps, ces travaux s'intéressent à la question de la nécessité de cette réglementation, puis après avoir répondu de manière affirmative, à la façon dont elle s'ordonnance effectivement, au plan international. Cette étude identifie les divers acteurs composant la structure décisionnelle du réseau Internet et met en exergue leurs compositions et l'influence en découlant sur le contenu de la norme produite. Elle constate qu'Internet est juridiquement régulé plus comme une juxtaposition de réseaux régionaux que comme un unique réseau métanational, et explore par quel(s) biais il est éventuellement possible de dépasser ces divers antagonismes, notamment en prenant conscience que les mutations du rapport à la norme juridique engendrées par Internet ont permis à ses usagers de devenir des acteurs de cette régulation, disposant de pouvoirs considérables. Par la suite, cette thèse explore les fondements philosophiques de la régulation et du rapport à la norme, avant d'étudier les lois relatives à la confiance dans l'économie numérique du 21 juin 2004 puis celle du 1er août 2006 relative aux droits d'auteurs et aux droits voisins dans la société de l'information, les deux textes étant des transpositions au niveau national de directives européennes. Ce travail critique montre que ces textes, amenant des avancées majeures demeurent toujours d'une facture très classique car ne prenant que peu en compte dans leur élaboration le phénomène d'a-territorialité et d'atemporalité induit par Internet, même si les mécanismes classiques de régulation juridique (notamment les mécanismes de conflits de lois) permettent de gommer une grande partie de ces imperfections. Enfin, ce travail s'intéresse brièvement à la notion d'Ordre Public et envisage à quel point elle est opératoire dans le cadre d'Internet, notamment en ce qui concerne les limites du contrôle et de la surveillance du réseau.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the sixteenth-century English Reformation background of Spenser's Faerie Queene, Book 3. Recovering this material is not simply a matter of opening a Bible, for various groups in the period, both Catholic and Reformer, interpreted its passages differently. The Book's four primary female characters, Belphoebe, Florimell, Britomart and Amoret, embody different aspects of the virtue, and these come into sharper focus in the light of this background. After a general survey of previous discussions of this topic, Chapter 1 examines the virgin Belphoebe and attitudes about celibacy and virginity current in sixteenth-century England, finding that neither Catholic nor Reformer disparaged this state, although in practice they differed dramatically. Chapter 2, considering the plight of Florimell, shows how her actions demonstrate that her chastity is, as these Reformation writers urge, a matter of the mind and soul, the springs from which virtue and its opposites flow. Her quality derives from such inner conviction. Next, Chapter 3, looking at Britomart, shows that Reformation writers generally do not speak of human love, even in marriage, in a way that comes close to Spenser's poem. However, when they deal with spiritual love, the love the soul is to have for God, they describe it in terms which sound very like those of passionate romantic love. The final chapter brings the insights of the preceding essay to bear on the closing cantos and Amoret's distress. Seen against this background, while she may appear helpless, her mind, like Florimell's, is constant and firm; she remains chaste. Indeed, she prefers imprisonment and even death, to surrendering to her captor. Like both Belphoebe and Britomart, what underlies her behaviour is her prior love for her beloved, which is the basis of her chastity, just as the Reformation writers understand it. The perspective on Spenser's poem provided by this Reformation material gives rise to new insights into the text

El presente proyecto de carteras para mujeres estudiantes de universidades e institutos y amas de casa nos ha permitido validar el problema asumido en base a información recopilada en el análisis al sector al que se dirige nuestro producto, el NSE “C”. De esta manera, logramos detectar que las mujeres pertenecientes a este nivel no contaban con los recursos necesarios para adecuarse al cambiante mundo de la moda.
En la actualidad, el sector de la moda y la belleza presenta cambios constantemente, debido a que existen diversos diseñadores y marcas que año tras año lanzan nuevos productos al mercado, generando tendencia y atracción por parte de las mujeres de todo el mundo. Sin embargo, existen muchas categorías de productos en este sector que presentan precios muy elevados para personas que reciben una remuneración mínima o que no generan ingresos mensuales.
A partir de ello, se analizaron los diferentes productos ofrecidos en este sector, siendo las carteras producto elegido para su elaboración y venta, debido a que es muy requerido por las mujeres y se espera que su nivel de consumo aumente en los siguientes años.
Queen Bags lanzará al mercado un amplio catálogo de carteras elaboradas en base a los gustos y preferencias de los clientes. Asimismo, destacará por la variedad de diseños ofrecidos, el lanzamiento de nuevos catálogos por cada estación y la relación calidad-precio de los productos finales. El negocio iniciará sus operaciones en el año 2019 y para su puesta en marcha los accionistas realizarán una inversión total de S/12,719 conformada por la compra de activos y aporte de efectivo.The present project of handbags for women students of universities and institutes and housewives has allowed us to validate the problem assumed based on information gathered in the analysis to the sector to which our product is directed, the NSE "C". In this way, we managed to detect that women belonging to this level did not have the necessary resources to adapt to the changing world of fashion. Currently, the fashion and beauty sector are constantly changing, because there are several designers and brands that year after year launch new products to the market, generating trend and attraction for women around the world. However, there are many categories of products in this sector that present very high prices for people who receive a minimum remuneration or who do not generate monthly income. From this, the different products offered in this sector were analyzed, with the bags being the product chosen for its preparation and sale, because it is very required by women and it is expected that its level of consumption will increase in the following years. Queen Bags will launch to the market a wide catalog of handbags elaborated based on the tastes and preferences of the clients. Likewise, it will stand out for the variety of designs offered, the launching of new catalogs for each station and the quality-price ratio of the final products. The business will start operations in 2019 and for its start-up the shareholders will make a total investment of S/12,719 formed by the purchase of assets and cash contribution.

Full textAbstract:
Contexte & Objectifs. Le feu est une perturbation récurrente dans les écosystèmes méditerranéens et est souvent considéré comme une composante intrinsèque pour le fonctionnement de ces écosystèmes. Cependant, le rôle des incendies de forêt sur la biodiversité reste controversé. Ainsi, bien que la perception de cette perturbation par la communauté scientifique prenne en compte les effets négatifs et positifs, le feu reste pour une grande part de l’opinion publique une catastrophe humaine et environnementale. Mes recherches ont eu pour objectif de quantifier les effets du feu sur la biodiversité végétale dans les écosystèmes à climat méditerranéen en abordant la relation feu-biodiversité à différentes échelles et en particulier en considérant les caractéristiques spatiales et temporelles des mosaïques générées par les feux au niveau du paysage. L’étude a été dupliquée dans deux biomes méditerranéens distincts (France méditerranéenne et Sud-ouest Australien) de sorte à rechercher à travers les différences les patrons de réponse communs.Méthodologie. Généralement, les feux ont été étudiés comme des évènements singuliers dont il convenait de mesurer l’impact sur les écosystèmes. Dans cette étude, les feux ont été considérés comme une succession d’évènements formant au niveau du paysage des mosaïques en s’additionnant dans le temps et en se superposant dans l’espace. La diversité de ces mosaïques a été quantifiée et a permis de définir un nouveau paramètre, la pyrodiversité. Mes recherches proposent une méthodologie objective et adaptée à la caractérisation de la pyrodiversité à l’échelle du paysage. Les patrons de feux, compilés sur 50 ans, ont été analysés et la diversité de la végétation (habitats, espèces et traits fonctionnels) a été échantillonnée en suivant le protocole développé dans le cadre du projet Européen EBONE. En utilisant la même échelle géographique pour croiser patrons de feu et patrons de végétation, il a été possible de relier pyrodiversité et biodiversité et d’examiner cette relation simultanément au niveau de la communauté végétale (habitat) et du paysage (mosaïque d’habitats).Résultats. Cette étude démontre qu’une pyrodiversité élevée (grande variabilité des patrons spatio-temporels des feux à l’échelle du paysage) est associée à des stades de succession de végétation plus variés et de ce fait maximise la diversité des habitats au niveau du paysage. Les résultats acquis permettent de montrer que le feu exerce une influence significative, avec d’autres facteurs comme les conditions environnementales ou l’utilisation du sol, sur la composition des habitats ainsi que sur l’hétérogénéité spatiale de la mosaïque d’habitats au sein du paysage. Que l’on considère les effets du feu sur les espèces végétales ou les traits fonctionnels de ces taxons, mes travaux montrent également que la diversité des plantes vasculaires au niveau de l’habitat varie avec la fréquence des feux suivant l’hypothèse de perturbation intermédiaire. À l’échelle du paysage, la relation pyrodiversité-biodiversité vérifie l’hypothèse de perturbation hétérogène : les maxima de diversité alpha et beta ont été observés lorsque les mosaïques de feux étaient caractérisées par un niveau élevé de pyrodiversité. À l’échelle régionale, la pyrodiversité favorise la diversité des habitats (diversité gamma) jusqu’à un certain seuil. Les deux aires d’étude affichent des profils de pyrodiversité contrastés, du fait de leurs gestions opposées du feu, mais égalemet des flores très contrastées. Il en résulte des différences de résilience et résistance au feu au sein de leurs écosystèmes respectifs. Toutefois, les deux biomes méditerranéens et leur végétation présentent des convergences évidentes dans leurs réponses écologiques au gradient de pyrodiversité.ConclusionsCette étude permet de resituer le rôle du feu et sa contribution à la richesse floristique des écosystèmes méditerranéensAim and Background. Fire is an integral component of Mediterranean type ecosystems and other fire-prone systems worldwide but the perception of fire as an ecological disaster remains a widely-held view among human societies. Understanding whether and to what extent fire is beneficial or detrimental to biodiversity is a current research priority for conservation management in fire-prone systems. My research has attempted to quantify the multi-scale effects of fire on various facets of vegetation diversity, including landscape diversity, taxonomic diversity and functional diversity from a landscape ecology perspective. We used two contrasted Mediterranean study cases i.e., south-eastern France and south-western Australia in order to distinguish from their differences common ecological patterns.Methods. Fires and their effects on vegetation are normally studied as single and localized events. Here, we considered landscape-scale fire mosaics resulting from the compilation of fire events that occurred among time and space in a given landscape. The diversity of those fire mosaics has been quantified and permitted to define a new parameter i.e., pyrodiversity. This research proposes a conceptual and practical methodology for the objective characterization of pyrodiversity based on the comparison of two Mediterranean environments: south-west of Western Australia and southern France. Fire patterns were analyzed retrospectively over a 50-year period while vegetation, habitats and species diversity were quantified at the landscape scale using a monitoring protocol developed within the EBONE EU-project. Using the same geographical scale for fire and vegetation patterns permitted to cross the information on biodiversity and pyrodiversity. The relationship between pyrodiversity and biodiversity was examined at the community level (i.e., habitat) and landscape level (mosaic of habitats) with considering successively habitat diversity, taxonomic diversity and functional diversity.ResultsThis study provides evidence that high pyrodiversity (i.e., spatio-temporal diversity of fire patterns) is associated to various successional trajectories of vegetation and thereby maximizes the diversity of habitats at landscape scale. The results indicate that fire significantly contributes with environmental factors and land management to determine the composition of habitats across a landscape and spatial heterogeneity of landscape mosaics. Whether considering the effects of a single fire event on plant species or on plant functional traits, I found that plant diversity varies with fire frequency according to the intermediate disturbance hypothesis at the habitat level. At the landscape level, the pyrodiversity-biodiversity relationship verified the heterogeneous disturbance hypothesis i.e., maxima of alpha and beta diversity are associated to fire mosaics of high spatiotemporal heterogeneity. At the regional scale, pyrodiversity enhances habitat diversity (gamma diversity) within the landscape until a certain threshold. The two studies areas display contrasting profiles of pyrodiversity due to their different fire management strategies but also exhibit taxonomically unrelated floras. Hence, the two Mediterranean biomes were characterized by different ecosystem resilience and resistance to fire. Despite these differences, the two Mediterranean biomes show convergence trends in their ecological response to the gradient of pyrodiversity.Conclusion. This study tackled the Pyrodiversity-Biodiversity paradigm and demonstrated that Mediterranean-type ecosystems need pyrodiversity to maintain the variety of habitats and species at both habitat and landscape levels. Fire effects on vegetation cannot be interpreted directly from a local perspective with considering a single fire event

Full textAbstract:
History in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene Book V and his View of the Present State of Ireland reflects the basic assumptions and characteristics of Elizabethan territorial history, a form observed in the geographic basis of chorography, in the metaphoric expression of the British past, and in the contemporary English enthusiasm for state, county, and city histories. William Lambarde's A Perambulation of Kent, the earliest English model for Spenser's territorial history, employs the antiquary's tentative empirical methodology in a study of sources newly freed of myth, legend, and unreliable antiquity. Accepting the developmental historical perspective of the territorial historians, Spenser in his View discusses the susceptibility of certain positive laws to the ravages of time and circumstance and argues for a reformation of those laws and their administration in Ireland. Similarly, justice in book V is a virtue of reformation that requires a "physician" who diagnoses, cures, and prescribes a diet of new, well-ordered laws for the patient-state, the primary danger to "recural" existing in laws abrogated or perverted since their inception. While accepting the workings of divine and natural law in history, Spenser focuses on the justiciar's secular role in terms of political more than providential causation, legal more than moral justice, and practical more than theoretical law. As England's first justiciar Artegall presents a righteous response to original tyranny in a prelegal society and acquits himself on the charges of "unmanly guile" and "reproachful cruelty" by representing human justice based on laws responsive to season. In the historical domains of Book V Arthur's presence exemplifies providence in human justice, Artegall's actions man's secular control over responsive lawmaking and territorial rebellion, and Radigund's tale the imposition of natural law on justice. The legal and topical content of Book V's poetic journeys suggest the territorial historian's "perambulation" in which Spenser's heroes learn the history of each canto's territory before a reforming justice can operate. As feigned antique history merges with topical event, the Legend of Justice becomes an innovative, optimistic, and uniquely Elizabethan glimpse of new territory.

Full textAbstract:
It has long been recognised that chastity is a problem in Book III of The Faerie Queene. The problem arises in part because the poem does not clearly define chastity but instead ambiguously praises it both as virginity and marital love. Behind the poem, too, lies the problem of Elizabeth with her Protestant virginity sometimes represented in Britomart,sometimes in Belphoebe, but also dangerously Catholic in its iconography. Indeed, wherever we turn in The Faerie Queene there are tangles of meaning. The contention of this thesis is that these problems are not merely surface writings, but stem from the Protestant breach with the Church Fathers and the long history of virginity. That history, I suggest in the main body of the thesis, has been broadly ignored by the critics who, by failing to grasp its theological complexity and development, have failed to produce an adequate platform from which to read the Protestant reformers and The Faerie Queene. The thesis is divided into two main parts. The Introduction examines recent critical discussions of virginity in Spenser, the Middle Ages and patristics, thus working backwards historically to the patristic writings themselves where I offer, in Part I, a detailed examination of the growth of the theological significance of virginity. Part II then looks at the reformers’ attacks on virginity, Luther and Erasmus especially, before turning to a discussion of the troubled meanings of virginity and chastity in Spenser’s epic poem.

Full textAbstract:
Approaching the poem from the perspective of reception history, the present dissertation seeks to show that the Bible’s role in The Faerie Queene is far more pervasive than has usually been recognized. Rather than see the biblical material as the domain of only certain sections—notably, Book I and perhaps Books II and V—I propose that it is to be seen as a meaningful presence throughout the poem. Indeed, I will argue that it provides a previously unnoticed, unifying structure to the whole.
I begin by giving a brief sketch of the Bible in Spenser’s early life. From here, I draw upon the resources of modern biblical scholarship—specifically, Childs’ “canonical approach”—to describe the way Spenser read the Bible and, consequently, the ways in which he alluded to it. I go on to discuss the notions of “typology” and “allegory,” providing the foundation for a discussion of Spenser’s reading not only of the Bible, but of the ongoing narrative of history. Then follows an exploration of the ways Spenser seeks to relate the various legacies of the Classical and biblical past to his Christian, humanist present, which culminates in a description of the Christian canon’s structuring role within the poem. This leads to a reflection on this structure’s significance through consideration of the various instances of books and of reading that occur in Book I. I then take up this theme again in Book III, in the transformation of Malbecco and in the idolatrous Tabernacle-Temple of Busirane. Drawing upon the early modern discourse concerning images and idols, I conclude with a discussion of The Faerie Queene as a unified, poetic sign pointing to the Divine Presence—a function typified in the discarded ending of Book III.
