Previous issue date: 2016-03-04<br>CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo compreender alguns aspectos das relações que ocorrem no interior da tradição cristã entre o tradicionalismo, no sentido de formação de um arcabouço teológico-dogmático mais rígido e pautado em uma experiência mais racional e sistemática, “letrada”, com o sagrado e os movimentos de “despertamento espiritual” que se pautam em uma experiência mais livre em relação às formulações teológicas pré-concebidas, muitas vezes fazendo irromper uma espiritualidade mais emotiva e mística com o sagrado. Para tanto, nos valemos da trajetória histórica da Igreja Batista da Lagoinha, Belo Horizonte-MG, surgida em meio ao movimento carismático na vertente protestante no Brasil, em meados das décadas de 1950 e 1960. Ateremos-nos mais especificamente, em razão de nosso objeto de pesquisa, às igrejas batistas que passaram por tensões e rupturas que originaram duas alas, a saber, “tradicional” e “renovada”. Dentre essa “ala renovada”, a Igreja Batista da Lagoinha sagrou-se precursora e uma das principais representantes dessa irrupção da experiência carismática no seio protestante. Sua influência não se limitou à gênese desse movimento de “despertamento espiritual” nas igrejas batistas, pelo contrário, permanece frutificando em igrejas e denominações protestantes e até mesmo em alguns setores carismáticos da Igreja Católica Romana, com as músicas de seu Ministério de Louvor Diante do Trono, sua liturgia e as (re)apropriações teológicas que lhe propiciam uma identidade mais fluida e dinâmica.<br>This research aims to clarify some aspects of the relationships that occur within the Christian tradition between the traditionalism in the sense of forming a theological-dogmatic more rigid framework and guided in a more rational and systematic, "scholar", experience with the sacred and the movements of "spiritual awakening" which are based on a freer experience in relation to preconceived theological formulations, and often burst a more emotional and mystic spirituality with the sacred. To this end, we followed the historical path of the Igreja Batista da Lagoinha, Belo Horizonte-MG, which emerged in the charismatic movement emergence in the Protestant stream in Brazil, in the middle of the 1950s and 1960s. We attend more specifically, because our research object, to the Baptist churches, who have gone through tensions and ruptures that led two flanks, namely "traditional" and "renewed". Among this "renovated wing", the Igreja Batista da Lagoinha has became the precursor and one of the main representatives of this outbreak of charismatic experience in the Protestant environment. His influence was not limited to the genesis of this movement of "spiritual awakening" in Baptist churches, however, remains influencing Protestant and Pentecostals churches and denominations and even some Charismatic sectors of the Roman Catholic Church, with songs from their Ministry of Praise Diante do Trono, their heterogeneous liturgy and their theological (re)appropriations that provide them a more fluid and dynamic identity.

Esta dissertação apresenta e analisa as experiências realizadas em São Paulo e Lisboa com reabilitação urbana de suas áreas centrais, degradadas fisicamente e habitadas por população provida de escassos recursos econômicos, com o objetivo de apontar aspectos limitantes e outros bem sucedidos na gestão do processo de reabilitação, do ponto de vista institucional e operacional de sua implementação pelos governos municipais. Resguardadas as especificidades dessas duas realidades abordadas, a dissertação destaca as similaridades referentes ao papel desempenhado pela dimensão habitacional como força motriz alavancando o processo da reabilitação, suas premissas, e a concepção de escritórios de base geográfica (GTL em Lisboa e EA em São Paulo), enquanto extensão do poder público municipal para coordenar a reabilitação. Assinala a importância do suporte político e social e a adoção de um modelo institucional alternativo, por meio desses escritórios, que viabilize a instauração de um processo participativo e integrado no planejamento e na gestão da reabilitação urbana, buscando na experiência portuguesa elementos para reflexão sobre a insipiente experiência brasileira.<br>This study consists of a presentation and analysis of the experiences undertaken in São Paulo and Lisboa, concerning inner city urban rehabilitation, of physically degraded areas inhabited by low income households. It aims at pointing out from an institutional and operational perspective, the weaknesses and strengths, opportunities and constraints within the management of the rehabilitation processes, for their implementation by the municipal governments. Despite the particularities of each reality, it highlights similarities regarding the role performed by the housing universe as propulsive factor triggering the rehabilitation processes, their premises, and the conception of local field offices (GTL in Lisbon and EA in Sao Paulo), operating as a branch of the municipal governments for the coordination of the urban rehabilitation process. It outlines, as well, the importance of political and societal supports, and the adoption of an alternative institutional arrangement in the municipality, expressed in the creation of these local field offices, in order to promote a participatory and integrated approach in the urban rehabilitation planning and management. For this purpose, it seeks for elements in the Portuguese experience that could contribute to the reflection of the recent and insipient Brazilian experience.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Urbanismo apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.<br>Desde o século XX, tem-se tornado cada vez mais frequente no cenário internacional a discussão em torno das políticas públicas que visam a revitalização de áreas urbanas antigas que se encontram em processo de deterioração. A diversidade de conceitos de intervenções urbanas até então aplicados em territórios com estas características, tais como reabilitação, renovação, reconversão e regeneração, cujo principal objetivo visava preservar o património edificado, deixaram de fazer sentido quando pensados isoladamente numa conjuntura de mutação das sociedades e de crescente diversidade de situações a considerar. O presente cenário induziu a uma mudança de paradigmas nas práticas tradicionais do Estado e de outros agentes intervenientes sobre o espaço urbano, e é neste sentido que a questão da revitalização urbana e o seu contexto de diversidade de conceitos da mesma família: reabilitação, renovação, reconversão, regeneração tem vindo a ganhar especial dimensão, como um meio de aumentar a capacidade dos investidores do sector público e de maior humanização na vida urbana. A revitalização, aparece como um englobante que integra e reanima parte da cidade, que transversalmente às várias áreas do saber que melhor corresponde à inclusão de diversificadas operações urbanas, com diferentes potenciais objetivos.
Apresentámos como referência, alguns casos de revitalização bem-sucedidos, imprescindíveis para o aprendizado do processo de intervenção, e nesse sentido foram escolhidos três exemplos de operações urbanas em frentes portuárias, em Londres, Amesterdão e Oslo. Os métodos aplicados e as propostas de ação implementadas serviram de conhecimento base para a aplicabilidade da revitalização do caso de estudo de Xabregas, embora com escalas e oportunidades distintas.
O principal objetivo do trabalho proposto é transversalmente fazer de Xabregas um polo urbano, simultaneamente inserido e cooperador no contexto contemporâneo de Lisboa, dotar Xabregas de um caracter único e identitário, que por sua vez contribua como continuidade à estrutura cultural, bioclimática e económico-social existentes na polaridade do centro de Lisboa.<br>ABSTRACT: Since the twentieth century, the discussion around public policies aimed at revitalizing old urban areas that are in the process of deterioration has become increasingly frequent in the international arena. The diversity of concepts of urban interventions hitherto applied in territories with these characteristics, such as rehabilitation, renovation, conversion and regeneration, whose main objective was to preserve the built heritage, cease to make sense when thought in isolation in increasing societies and of a growing diversity of situations to consider. The present scenario induced a paradigm shift in the traditional practices of the State and other intervening agents on the urban space, and it is in this sense that the issue of urban revitalization and its context of diversity of concepts of the same family: rehabilitation, retraining, regeneration has gained special significance as a means of increasing the capacity of public sector investors and of greater humanization in urban life. The revitalization appears as an encoder that integrates and revives part of the city, which transversally to the various areas of knowledge that best corresponds to the inclusion of diversified urban operations, with different potential objectives.
As a reference, successful revitalization cases are essential for learning the intervention process, and in this sense, three examples of urban operations have been chosen on port fronts in London, Amsterdam and Oslo. The applied methods and the implemented action proposals serve as basic knowledge for the applicability of the revitalization of the Xabregas case study, albeit with different scales and opportunities.
The main objective of the proposed work is to transversally make Xabregas an urban pole, simultaneously inserted and cooperative in the contemporary context of Lisbon, to give Xabregas a unique character and identity, which in turn contributes as a continuity to the cultural, bioclimatic and socio-economic structure existing in the polarity of the centre of Lisbon.<br>N/A

This project set out to investigate the potential for architecture, and architectural systems, to become an element of filtration for contamination in both water and soil. To do this, investigation into Biomimicry, or the use of nature as inspiration, as well as Phytoremediation, the use of plants for the filtration and breakdown of contaminants, was done and then applied to architectural design. The project became the filtration of roughly three million gallons of highly toxic water that enters the Berkley Pit, in Butte, Montana, every day. This particular solution would then prevent the potential catastrophe of negligence to the rising water level within the derelict mining pit.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação objetiva desenvolver uma análise crítica acerca das possibilidades e limites das ações e programas para a reabilitação dos grandes conjuntos habitacionais, especificamente aqueles da COHAB-SP. Para tanto se procedeu ao exame da evolução do ideário urbanístico e arquitetônico relacionado ao atendimento das demandas por moradia da classe trabalhadora, dos primórdios da Revolução Industrial até o esforço de reconstrução europeu do segundo pós-guerra, com a produção massiva sob a forma conjunto habitacional. A sobreposição de problemas físicos e sociais nesses espaços levou à implementação, a partir da década de 1970, de programas voltados à sua reabilitação; essas propostas são aqui examinadas e avaliadas de acordo com seus objetivos e resultados alcançados, dentro de seus contextos urbanos e socioeconômicos específicos. Procedeu-se ao exame das ações do Estado brasileiro no campo da habitação popular ao longo do século XX, culminando com a instituição do SFH/BNH, período em que são produzidos os maiores e mais precários conjuntos habitacionais no Brasil. Procurou-se avaliar de que forma a atuação estatal sob a forma da produção dos grandes conjuntos pela COHAB-SP condicionou vastos contingentes populacionais a um cotidiano de segregação e exclusão, reforçando padrões já presentes na estruturação do espaço metropolitano de São Paulo. Identificadas as características da produção dos grandes conjuntos da COHAB-SP passou-se à análise e avaliação do Programa Viver Melhor, instituído pela Companhia em 2001 especificamente com o intuito de melhorar a qualidade de vida das populações residentes em seus conjuntos; procurou-se identificar as possibilidades e limites na transformação das condições urbanísticas e sociais nesses espaços a partir dessas políticas públicas específicas.<br>This dissertation aims at developing a critical analysis of the possibilities and limits of actions and programs for the rehabilitation of large public housing estates, specifically those produced by COHAB-SP. Therefore, an examination of the development of the urban and architectural ideas related to the meeting of the demands for housing to the working class was carried out, from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to the effort to rebuild Europe after the Second World War, with a massive production under the housing estate form. The overlapping of physical and social problems in these areas led to the implementation, from the 1970s, of programs aimed at their rehabilitation; these proposals are examined and evaluated here according to their goals and achievements within their specific urban and socioeconomic contexts. The actions of the Brazilian State in the social housing area during the twentieth century were examined until the establishment of the SFH / BNH, when the biggest and most precarious public housing estates were produced in Brazil. This research sought to evaluate how the state action for the production of large housing estates of COHAB-SP conditioned large groups of population to a routine of segregation and exclusion, reinforcing patterns already present on the structuring of São Paulos metropolitan space. After identifying the characteristics of the production of the large public housing estates of COHAB-SP there was the analysis and evaluation of the Programa Viver Melhor, established by the Housing Company in 2001 specifically to improve the life quality of the residents in their sites; the research sought to identify the possibilities and limits to the transformation of the urban and social conditions in these areas from these specific public policies.

286040.pdf: 5375101 bytes, checksum: 2d371306c2418b96f64e2203a72e962c (MD5)<br>Esta pesquisa, sob o escopo da análise dialógica do discurso, decorre da seguinte questão: Como a Constituição Federal da República Federativa do Brasil, que é objeto dos discursos políticos analisados, é valorada em pronunciamentos realizados em dois momentos históricos distintos: sua promulgação, na sessão solene da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte de 1988, e comemoração de seus 20 anos, na sessão solene do Congresso Nacional de 2008? Os dados são formados por um total de nove discursos. A metodologia de análise e apresentação dos dados baseou-se no método sociológico de análise dialógica da linguagem proposto por Bakhtin (Volochínov), 2006 [1929]. A análise parte dos aspectos sociais, caracterizando o contexto político-parlamentar federal enquanto esfera sociodiscursiva. Na sequência, é feita uma análise do gênero sessão solene, pois é de acordo com o gênero em questão que os oradores balizam seus dizeres e o modo desses dizeres. Finalizando, são analisados os participantes da interação: a) auditório social: o auditório previsto regularmente pelo gênero formado por pessoas que tenham determinadas .credenciais sociais. para poderem estar presentes; e um auditório mediato # supradestinatário ou destinatário universal; e b) os oradores dos discursos: autoridades políticas que se destacam, únicas autorizadas a falar em razão seu papel social, do que decorre a relação entre a posição de autoria com o ethos de poder, que se cristaliza na ordem dos pronunciamentos. Outro direcionamento de análise refere-se aos aspectos linguísticos-discursivos, partindo do exame do projeto discursivo: a) elogios: trazidos para assinalar a vontade dos oradores de enaltecerem a Constituição Federal como instrumento de salvação e proteção do Brasil e da sua população; b) críticas: como estratégia de vinculação da Constituição Federal à sua aplicação efetiva, ou seja, à realidade; c) comentários sobre as emendas constitucionais: a fim de indicar que a Constituição estaria perdendo sua aura de sagrada ao estar se moldando às ideologias político-partidárias; e realçar seu valor de símbolo da cidadania ao estar em constante adaptação frente às transformações sócio-históricas. Em seguida, são analisados modos de materialização da expressividade com ênfase para a entonação, para as construções estilístico-composicionais e para o enaltecimento da Constituição pelo discurso do outro. Na continuidade do exame dos aspectos linguístico-discursivos, há a verificação de relações dialógicas: a) no plano do já-dito: relações que desqualificam eventos sociais contrários ao espírito da Constituição, bem como através de relações que realçam o valor positivo da Constituição; b) reação-resposta do auditório social: reações-resposta imediatas (simultâneas); e reações-resposta antecipadas pelo orador, visando ao engajamento do auditório. A apreciação valorativa atribuída à Constituição de 1988 está diretamente ligada ao fato de seus dispositivos terem possibilitado que o Brasil tenha se consolidado como um Estado Democrático de Direito. A Constituição relaciona-se, nos discursos de 1988, como emblema de renovação, ao passo que nos discursos de 2008, seu emblema é de escudo protetor contra qualquer ameaça que porventura se vislumbre contra o Estado brasileiro. A valoração conferida à Constituição Federal de 1988 foi, ao longo dos discursos examinados, sendo repassada aos políticos, como se os responsáveis por sua elaboração/manutenção fossem diretamente merecedores dos índices de valor que circundam o Texto Constitucional.<br>This research, under the scope of dialogic discourse analysis, the following question arises: How does the Federal Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, which is the subject of political discourse analyzed, is valued in pronouncements made in two distinct historical moments: its promulgation in special sitting of the National Constituent Assembly in 1988 and its celebrating of 20th anniversary, at the solemn session of Congress in 2008? The data consist of a total of nine speeches. The methodology of analysis and data presentation was based on the sociological method of analysis of dialogic language proposed by Bakhtin (Volochínov), 2006 [1929]. The analysis begins in the social aspects, characterizing the political federal-parliamentary context as a social and discursive sphere. Following, it is analyzed the gender solemn session, because it is according to this genre that speakers guiding his sayings and the way of these sayings. Finally, are analyzed the participants of the interaction: a) social auditorium: the auditorium provided regularly by genre consists of people who have certain "social credentials" in order to be present, and an mediate auditorium; and b) the speakers of discourses: the political authorities that stand out, only allowed to speak because their social role, which stems from the relationship between the position of authorship with the ethos of power, which crystallizes in the order of speeches. Another direction of analysis refers to the linguistic-discursive aspects, from an examination of discursive project: a) praise, brought to indicate the speakers will of honor the Constitution as an instrument of salvation and protection of Brazil and its people, b) criticism: as a strategy for bind the Federal Constitution to its effective application. c) comments on the constitutional amendments: to indicate that the Constitution would be losing its aura of the sacred to be shaping up to political ideologies party, and enhance its value as a symbol of citizenship to be constantly adapting facing the socio-historical changes. Next, are analyzed ways of materialization of expressiveness with emphasis on intonation, on stylistic-compositional constructions and on the enhancement of the Constitution by the speech of the other. Following on from the examination of linguistic and discursive aspects, there is verification of dialogical relationship: a) in terms of already produced utterances: relationships that disqualify social events contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, as well as through relationships that enhance the positive value of the Constitution; b) reaction-response of social-audience: immediate reaction-responses (simultaneous) and anticipated reaction-response by the speaker in order to engage the audience. The evaluation assigned to the 1988 Constitution is directly linked to the fact that their devices have enabled Brazil to have been established as a democratic state. The Constitution is related, in the speeches of 1988, as an emblem of renewal, while the speeches of 2008, its emblem is a protective shield against any threat that may be glimpse against the Brazilian State. The valuation given to the Federal Constitution of 1988 was over the speeches examined and are passed on to politicians, as if those responsible for their development/maintenance were directly deserving of value indexes that surround the Constitutional Text.

Também procuramos situar as práticas carismáticas no campo religioso para mapear as continuidades e as rupturas que têm instaurado no catolicismo brasileiro. Elas rompem com a tolerância católica em relação à vivência simultânea das práticas do catolicismo e das práticas de outras religiões, exigindo do adepto uma adesão exclusiva; mas continuam apresentando em sua constituição a possessão e o transe, recorrentes no campo religioso brasileiro.

It was also intended to locate the charismatic practices in the religion field to catalogue he continuities and the ruptures that they have established in the Brazilian Catholicism. The charismatic practices violate with the catholic tolerance related to the simultaneous existence of the Catholicism and other religious practices, demanding of the disciple an exclusive adhesion; but they continue showing in their constitution the possession and the transe, extremely usual in the religious Brazilian field.

Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2009.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 39).<br>As the oldest stadium in baseball history, the existing structure of Fenway Park presents problems such as limiting seating capacity and obstructed views, caused by the columns supporting the second level. Opened in 1912, this stadium is considered one of today's most historical sporting venues. In 2005, the Red Sox ownership announced that the stadium would remain as the home of the Red Sox for years to come. Consequently, considerable investments were made into the stadium to increase seating capacity and to retrofit the structure. This thesis explores the aforementioned main problems, the seating capacity and the obstructed view, and proposes a new design for the seating deck. Two options are explored: one scheme is a stiff structure with concentric bracing and the second scheme is a flexible structure that implements a Tuned Mass Damper to mitigate the vibrations of the cantilevered deck. A design proposal is presented with standard steel sections. It is concluded that the second option is not feasible because it does not comply with the deflection criterion.<br>by Luis Pedro Aldana Urrutia.<br>M.Eng.

Full textAbstract:
The concern of climate change and Greenhouse Gas emission have increased national consideration toward energy efficiency. Despite noticeable action which have taken by EU cities and Sweden government to mitigate the climate change, there is still shortage in appropriate energy measurements in old residential buildings. Due to the fact that a large share of residential buildings in Sweden have constructed more than 40 years ago, most of them need energy renovation to enhance efficiency and saving more energy. In order to encourage home owners toward energy efficiency renovations, some cost effective measurements have to introduce to people with the view of effect on property value. To this end, 50 detached houses and villas in Kronoberg County in Sweden have been chosen and analyzed to identify how renovation can increase the property value. These houses have been set in different categories by location, heating system, deep renovation, energy and aesthetic renovation. After that, compares the sold prices and biding prices for each category. Moreover, it analyses the people behavior toward renovation to see how can motive people to adopt necessary energy efficient renovation. This research also shows the current situation of building renovation, the most favourite renovation which are adopted by people as well as providing information about the factors affect the value of the house after renovation.

Previous issue date: 2010-06-18<br>Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico<br>The integrated crop livestock farming system is an important training and renovation of degraded pastures. However, lack technical information about physiological and sanitary quality of the forage seeds and sowing methods have been suggested as causes of failure in some fields. This work aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment of seeds of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandú with the insecticide fipronil (with and without treatment) associated with plant densities (2.0, 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0 kg ha-1 seed) in three tillage systems. Each cropping system was an experiment. In the first experiment was sown with Brachiaria drill multiple, specific for planting small seeds in the rows of corn at depths of two to three inches. In experiment II, the seeds of Brachiaria were mixed with fertilizer used in corn planting, they were deposited at a depth of four inches, distributed along the profile of the furrow. In experiment III, Brachiaria was sown broadcast on the plot after corn sowing. The variables evaluated were dry plants of B. brizantha and maize, the forage ground cover, plant height and number of spikes per plant and grain yield of maize. After the corn harvest the entire experimental area was grazed by cattle until the end of September (beginning of rains), becoming then cleared to a uniform cutting height of Brachiaria. Twenty days after this mowing evaluated the production of herbage and soil cover by B. brizantha. It was concluded that treatment of the forage seeds as fipronil was important only for the seeding set. Seeder for planting with multiple or mixed with seed to fertilizer, the highest forage yield occurred at 365 days after planting, using a 2.0 kg ha-1 seed. While in most broadcast seeding forage yield occurred with 8.0 kg ha-1. However it is noteworthy that all seeding rates Brachiaria above 2 kg ha-1 in the three tillage systems, negatively affecting the productivity of maize.<br>A integração lavoura pecuária é um sistema de cultivo importante na formação e na renovação das pastagens degradadas. No entanto, a falta informações técnicas sobre qualidade fisiológica e sanitária das sementes da forrageira e dos métodos de semeadura têm sido apontados como causas do insucesso em algumas lavouras. Neste trabalho objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos do tratamento das sementes da Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandú com o inseticida fipronil (com e sem tratamento) associado a densidades de semeadura (2,0; 4,0; 6,0 e 8,0 kg ha-1 de sementes), em três sistemas de plantio. Cada sistema de plantio constituiu um experimento. No experimento I, a braquiária foi semeada com semeadora múltipla, específica para plantio de sementes pequenas na linha do milho nas profundidades de dois a três centímetros. No experimento II, as sementes de braquiária foram misturadas ao fertilizante usado no plantio do milho, elas foram depositadas na profundidade de até dez centímetros, distribuídas ao longo do perfil do sulco de plantio. No experimento III, a braquiária foi semeada a lanço na parcela após a semeadura do milho. As variáveis avaliadas foram matéria seca de plantas de B. brizantha e de milho, cobertura do solo pela forrageira, altura plantas e número de espigas por planta e produtividade de grãos do milho. Após a colheita do milho toda a área experimental foi pastoreada por bovinos até final de setembro (início das chuvas), fazendo-se em seguida uma roçada para uniformização da altura de corte da braquiária. Vinte dias após essa roçada avaliou-se a produção de matéria seca de forragem e a cobertura do solo pela B. brizantha. Concluiu-se que o tratamento das sementes da forrageira como fipronil foi importante somente para o semeio a lanço. Para o plantio com semeadora múltipla ou com sementes misturadas ao fertilizante, a maior produtividade de forragem ocorreu aos 365 dias após o plantio, com uso de 2,0 kg ha-1 de sementes. Enquanto que na semeadura a lanço a maior produtividade de forragem ocorreu com 8,0 kg ha-1. Todavia é importante salientar que todas as densidades de semeadura de braquiária acima de 2 kg ha-1, nos três sistemas de plantio, afetaram negativamente a produtividade de milho.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this dissertation is on existing housing areas: in industrialised western countries, in 2005, the number of existing buildings that are taken care of, maintained, repaired, renovated or restructured for other functions is higher than the number of buildings that are (new) built. This is a review dissertation, based on empirical material and further reflections from previous research projects dealing with Swedish housing renovation: private-owned old single-family housing areas and large housing areas from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, mainly owned by housing companies. The concepts of careful renovation, environmentally-friendly renovation and sustainable renovation are analysed as different approaches to housing renovation. The aim is to present an interpretation of sustainable renovation that includes the goals both of careful renovation and of environmentally-friendly renovation as necessary components of sustainable development. This dissertation identifies and analyses the main issues that may be faced during renovation and that have a relevant impact on the environment, the architecture or the inhabitants, and describes the renovation actions that have been used in the studied projects. It concludes with reflections about positive results, incongruities and challenges that may be found in projects of sustainable renovation.<br>QC 20100928

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential for a nearly Zero-Energy Building (nZEB) renovation, its benefits for real estate owners in Sweden, and their ability to comply with the current Swedish definition of nZEB. The study is carried out in co-operation with the Swedish real estate company Vasakronan, one of the country’s largest real estate owners. Several energy-efficiency and renewable energy measures are implemented in a case study at the building complex Telefonplan. The improvement measures chosen are based on their proven cost-optimality and potential to bring the buildings to nZEB energy consumption levels, and are calculated using an array of tools; PVSOL, EED and Excel. The results are analyzed using Boverket’s regulation for nZEB, which was set for new builds. The economic performance of the renovation is analyzed considering capital and operational expenses, energy savings, and the increase in property value. The results show that Telefonplan failed to reach the Swedish nZEB targets with pre-selected energy efficiency measures. However, the financial results in terms of annual savings as well as raised property value can stand as a strong motivation for real estate owners to consider such investments.<br>Målet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka potentialen för renovering av en nära noll-energibyggnad (nZEB), deras fördelar för fastighetsägarna i Sverige och deras förmåga att rätta sig efter den svenska definitionen av nZEB. Studien är framtagen i samarbete med det svenska fastighetsföretaget Vasakronan, som är ett av Sveriges största fastighetsföretag. Ett flertal energieffektivare och förnybara energimetoder är implementerade i en fallstudie för ett byggnadskomplex i Telefonplan, Stockholm. Förbättringsmetoderna är valda baserat på deras kostoptimering och dess potential att få energikonsumtionen i byggnaden i nivå med nZEB. Beräkningarna är utförda med ett flertal verktyg så som; PVSOL, EED, SAM och Excel. Vidare är resultaten är analyserade genom användandet av Boverkets regulation för nZEB, som avsattes för nybyggen. Den ekonomiska prestandan av renoveringen är analyserad med hänsyn till kaptital- och operationskostnader, energisparande och ökning av fastighetsvärde. Resultaten visar att Telefonplan misslyckades med att nå de svenska nZEB-målen med förutvalda energieffektivare metoder. Däremot kan de finansiella resultaten i form av årligt sparande samt ökat fastighetsvärde ses som starka motivationer för fastighetsägare att överväga sådana investeringar.

This dissertation examines school renovation and student achievement. The study focuses on the relationship between a complete renovation of a school facility and its influence on student achievement before, during, and after the renovation process. This is a replication study of previous research, Mayo (2012), which focused on middle schools in the Commonwealth of Virginia that were identified as a complete renovation project during the years of 2004-2010. This study utilized the procedures and the descriptive research methodology established in the Mayo (2012) study. Which allowed for the same three demographic variables (minority, socioeconomic, and teacher quality) to be addressed. The only modification made was the selection of a new grade level (K-5) focusing on elementary schools. The research question posed in this study, Does the complete renovation process, which includes structural, plumbing, electrical, and heating and air conditioning changes of a school building, influence student achievement?
Out of 514 school construction projects listed by the Virginia Department of Education during 2004-2010, 89 were classified as renovation projects. Out of the 89, only 39 met the criteria of elementary schools servicing fifth grade students. The 39 elementary schools were then further reviewed, and 15 met the criteria of fulfilling the four components of a complete renovation; structural, plumbing, electrical, and heating/air conditioning. The findings of the 15 schools identified as being a complete renovation showed no statistical significance between the variables and were not statistically significant when comparing the fifth grade mathematics and reading student performance to each stage of the renovation process.<br>Ed.

Esta tese discute a Geografia Política e Geopolítica produzida por geógrafos no período de 1982-2012, procura identificar quais os temas mais tratados, os lugares da produção e a existência de especialistas com ligação na formulação de políticas territoriais do Estado brasileiro. Neste sentido, questiona a renovação da Geografia no Brasil, mostra que a negligencia dos geógrafos com a análise do Estado não passou ao largo das instituições de ensino e pesquisa. Dentre os resultados alcançados, expõe a concentração da produção em poucos geógrafos, fato marcante em todo o século XX, a localização em grandes universidades dos centros urbanos e a ligação dos geógrafos como formuladores de políticas estatais de organização territorial. Conclui-se que, no período analisado, a obra de Bertha K. Becker é preponderante na Geografia Política e Geopolítica e que a renovação que pretendia olvidar a ligação dos geógrafos com o Estado não se efetivou, ao contrário viu crescer o número de trabalhos sobre políticas territoriais para o Estado.<br>This thesis discusses Political Geography and Geopolitics produced by geographers between 1982 and 2012, looking to identify which topics were the most discussed, the places where they were produced and the existence of specialists linked to the formulation of territorial policies of the Brazilian State. Thus, this thesis debates a new moment in Brazilian Geography, showing that the negligence of the geographers towards an analysis of the State did not go off the education and research institutions. Among the results achieved, this thesis also exposes the concentration of production in the hands of few geographers, an observed situation throughout the whole 20th century, the location of the production based on large universities in the biggest urban centers of the country, and the bond of geographers with State policies of territorial organization. It concludes that, during the period observed, the works of Bertha K. Becker are widely spread in the Political Geography and Geopolitc, and that the renew, which intended to make geographers not to produce studies about the State has failed, an in fact, the number of studies about territorial policies of the State has grown.

Previous issue date: 2006<br>Resumo: Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar a relação interdiscursiva que constitui e atravessa dois movimentos religiosos da Igreja Católica: Teologia da Libertação e Renovação Carismática Católica. Para tanto, apresenta-se um estudo da semântica global desses dois posicionamentos. Com base na relação entre os diferentes planos do discurso (práticas, ethos, cenografia, dêixis, intertextualidade e polêmica), procura-se verificar como se constitui o espaço de trocas (interdiscurso) que antecede a gênese dos discursos da TL e da RCC. Dessa forma, o estudo da semântica global, feito com base na análise de diferentes pistas textuais, é visto como um indício que ajuda a compreender o funcionamento do interdiscurso. O eixo central das discussões desta pesquisa se situa na noção de semântica global, proposta por Maingueneau (1984), segundo a qual todos os planos do discurso estão integrados e contribuem para a constituição de um corpo discursivo. O corpus da pesquisa é formado por diferentes gêneros (artigos de jornais e revistas, livros, documentos, panfletos publicitários, letras de música, etc.) que constituem a prática interdiscursiva dos dois posicionamentos estudados. A metodologia de pesquisa utilizada está centrada no dispositivo teórico-analítico da Análise de Discurso. Os resultados das análises revelam que os dois posicionamentos discursivos analisados (Teologia da Libertação e Renovação Carismática Católica), apesar de partilharem de um mesmo espaço discursivo (ou exatamente por isso), apresentam semânticas globais que se recusam mutuamente<br>Abstract: The main objective of this work is to analyze the interdiscursive relation that constitutes and traverses two religious movements of the Roman Catholic Church: Theology of Liberation (TL) and Catholic Charismatic Renovation (CCR). Thus, it presents a study of the global semantics of these two positions. Based on the relation between different planes of discourse (practices, ethos, scenography, deixis, intertextuality and polemic), it tries to verify how the space of exchanges (interdiscourse) that precedes the genesis of the discourses of TL and CCR is constituted. In this way, the global semantic study based on the analysis of different textual traces is considered as an index that helps you to understand the operation of the discourse. The central axis of the discussions in this research is situated in the notion of global semantics, proposed by Maingueneau (1984), and according to it all discourse planes are integrated and they contribute for the constitution of a discursive body. The corpus is constituted by different genders (newspaper and magazine articles, books, documents, pamphlets, lyrics, etc.) that integrate the interdiscursive practice of the two studied positions. The research methodology is founded on the theoreticalanalytical framework of Discourse Analysis. The results reveal that, despite sharing the same discursive space (or exactly for this reason), the two discursive positions analyzed (Theology of Liberation and Catholic Charismatic Renovation), have global semantics which refuse one another<br>Doutorado<br>Doutor em Linguística

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid progress of urbanization in China, a lot of villages face serious brain-drain. A serious problem of culture deterioration arises except in a few traditional villages. Most newly built rural homes are weak and unsafe due to a lack of professional support and building codes. Many large-scale rural reconstruction projects initiated by the government fail because of corruption and irresponsibility. The rural residents suffer from the lack of infrastructure and the quality of their homes.
Presently, there are a few grassroots, activists, architects, architectural critics, media and NGOs working for the renovation of Chinese vernacular architecture and rural settlement. Their works include architectural writing, installation artworks and projects in rural areas.
This paper is an attempt to propose sustainable approaches and alternative patterns to settle grounds for Chinese contemporary rural construction, regarding architecture, decorative arts, construction systems and user's organization for promotion, by investigating, analyzing and comparing theories and some represented samples of traditional villages, renovation projects and installation artworks from the standpoints of technology, sociology, politics, art, philosophy, history and sustainability.<br>Con el rápido progreso de la urbanización en China, muchas aldeas se enfrentan a una seria fuga de cerebros.

Muchos proyectos de reconstrucción rural a gran escala iniciados por el gobierno fracasan debido a la corrupción y a la irresponsabilidad. Los residentes rurales sufren de la falta de infraestructuras y la baja calidad de sus hogares. En la actualidad, hay unas pocas personas de base, activistas, arquitectos, críticos arquitectónicos, medios de comunicación y ONGs que trabajan para la renovación de la arquitectura vernácula china y los asentamientos rurales. Sus obras incluyen teoría y crítica arquitectónica, instalaciones artísticas y proyectos en zonas rurales. Este trabajo es un intento de proponer enfoques sostenibles y modelos alternativos para sentar las bases de la construcción rural contemporánea china, con respecto a la arquitectura, las artes decorativas, los sistemas constructivos y la organización de los usuarios para la promoción. La investigación analiza y compara teorías y muestras representativas de aldeas tradicionales, Proyectos de renovación e instalaciones artísticas desde los puntos de vista de la tecnología, la sociología, la política, el arte, la filosofía, la historia y la sostenibilidad.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes my research project and body of work, which investigates social inequalities through the different language and functions of everyday objects. The research moves on from my previous Honours research project on the dou ble nature of caravan parks in NSW and looked at the changing demographics of these locations. I noted the increase of semi-permanent, residential 'homes' for low income earners and the unemployed, in these holiday locations. This paper examines broader social issues of homelessness and social inequalities within our society. I look at the complexities in the definitions of homelessness and the ways in which people find themselves in the position where they rely on welfare agencies and government support. I also investigate different representations of homelessness by artists and other social commentators, ranging from the hopeless victim to the vagrant. This section locates my social concerns with the context of theoretical debate and artistic representation. I have used everyday and mundane objects in my artworks to discuss these social concerns. Everyday objects posses a language and commonality that is familiar to all members of society. This language is developed from the different historical, cultural and functional qualities that everyday objects possess. I discus this in relation to the development of the everyday object in artistic practices from the early 20th century to today. Of specifically importance to my practice is the influence of contemporary German artists and their manipulation of objects to make works with political and social content. Throughout this paper I have discussed individual art works which illustrate my social concerns and the practicalities of the everyday. Revealing how I juxtapose certain objects to question the uneven nature of travel and home, with regards to possessions and mobility. Additionally I challenge the normal functions of objects to reveal new absurd possibilities of use.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation of why and how homeowners decide to renovate their homes. Energy efficient renovations are of particular interest given their potential contribution to public policy goals including greenhouse gas emission reduction. Policies seeking to improve energy efficiency in existing homes have to influence homeowners’ decisions. This requires a psychologically and behaviourally realistic understanding of the renovation decision process. Different research traditions offer competing models. These are tested through a series of hypotheses on the form and content of the renovation decision. The empirical dataset used combines both stated and revealed preference data. 809 homeowners in British Columbia were surveyed at three different cross-sections of the renovation decision process. The sample included both energy efficient (e.g., windows, insulation) and amenity renovators (e.g., kitchens, bathrooms), and was broadly representative of the population of renovating homeowners in British Columbia. Survey responses were calibrated using actual energy consumption data, and a supplementary survey of realtors. Calibration allowed homeowners’ expectations of the financial costs and benefits of renovating to be evaluated. Firstly, sampled homeowners systematically over-estimated their energy costs. Secondly, these estimates were subject to common information processing and recall biases. Thirdly, even homeowners in the middle of energy efficient renovations had expectations of capital costs, energy cost savings, and property value impacts that were largely unknown or unreliable. More generally, sampled homeowners lacked the basic knowledge necessary to appraise energy efficient renovations as financial investments. Homeowners’ motivations for renovating were more likely to be emotional and aesthetic in the case of amenities, but related to functional outcomes like thermal comfort in the case of energy efficiency. Social norms were influential in both cases but were underreported by homeowners. This was consistent with rationalisation biases which help individuals maintain self-esteem by emphasizing instrumental explanations for their actions. This psychologically realistic characterisation of the renovation decision suggests a range of design criteria for policy, and questions the effectiveness of narrowly-targeted information and incentive policies in their current form. However, policy implications should be generalised with caution given the low energy price and appreciating real estate market characteristics of the study region.

Full textAbstract:
The reported work lies in the area of automation in the construction industry, and involves multi-disciplinary engineering studies. In particular, sewer renovation methods, computer vision (CV) and robotics are all included. More specifically, the key objective of the research programme was to investigate the characteristics of retrofit components suited to mounting on an industrial / proprietary sewer tractor. The overall aim was the provision of a non-man-entry (NME) sewer renovation robot to undertake reconnection of lateral junctions, following a cured-in-place (CIP) relining process. The programme primarily involved theoretical studies of the requisite sensory and kinematic components, incorporation of a novel computer vision sensing system and production of a chainage measurement system and robotic drill task arm. The theory was supported by laboratory testing using a modified proprietary tractor, with emphasis placed on promoting applications of information technology driven systems (i.e. CV) to construction-industry tasks within hazardous environments involving significant health issues. The use of such techniques in the construction industry is rare. Chapter 1 reviews the context and history of sewer maintenance/dereliction in the UK. NME sewers are the most common type and are, by definition, difficult to maintain. Renovation, typically employing CIP liners, is therefore a cost-effective alternative to replacement. Lateral connections are, inevitably, blocked off during the relining process; it is suggested that application of a robust robotic system to the task of reconnecting them is novel and offers clear potential within such a hazardous environment. Chapters 2 and 3 develop the underlying theoretical models of the CV and kinematic systems respectively. The novel CV work (provided by third party specialists employing the TINA CV research environment) was incorporated by the author to provide detection and classification of lateral junctions, crucially noting the particular properties of direct and reflected illumination. Classification aspects include estimation of lateral/NME intersection angle and closure-to-target distance from the robot. The author proposes a separate procedure for estimating lateral diameter. A chainage measurement system, using a rotary encoder and inclinometer, was developed to determine invert path distance travelled. This allows for the inevitable wander and thereby gives the system robustness. The novel application of GRASP (a robotic modelling and simulation design tool) to NME environments, provided the ability to model arm designs without the need for the production of more than one expensive physical prototype. A mathematical solution for determining the requisite arm kinematics is presented. Chapter 4 details the hardware requirements of the robotic system components, whilst Chapters 5 and 6 present the laboratory evaluation results for the kinematic and CV systems respectively. The abilities of the CV system qualitatively to detect laterals under reflected illumination, and to provide quantitative classification data, are demonstrated. The chainage measurement system is assessed under a variety of initialisation conditions to determine suitability to task, and the ability of the robotic arm to physically simulate lateral reconnection is investigated. Chapter 7 discusses the specification for an industrially-applicable prototype, based on the findings herein. Appropriate comparisons with the pre-prototype system are made, including cost. Finally, Chapter 8 draws conclusions and makes suggestions for further work. Supporting documentation is provided in Chapter 9 and the Appendices.

Full textAbstract:
This Thesis is aimed at evaluating the options of renovation for an existing residential building to make it more energy efficient. The various aspects in the basic structures of residential homes are discussed in order to help the user identify the areas of the house for which renovation is required to improve the energy efficiency of the building. These aspects include doors, roof and wall in addition to various systems of electrical wiring, mechanical systems of ventilation, heating and cooling and plumbing systems for the efficient flow of water throughout the house. The renovation options have been described in detail to provide as many possibilities to the user as possible. The building taken for renovation is a 1953 suburban home which has been awarded the honor of being the first building to be labeled as Zero Energy Home in its vicinity. This has made the home so efficient that its expenditure of energy has become equivalent to its energy generation, therefore, cancelling each other out and creating an estimate of zero energy.

Previous issue date: 2018-06-19<br>A vitrine sempre foi um tema desafiador de estudo em um ambiente de varejo. O tema tem sido estudado por alguns autores que embasaram esse experimento, como Mehrabian e Russel (1974) da teoria S.O.R (Stimulus-Organism-Response), Sen, Block e Chandran (2002) que explicita a importância da exposição e informação de produtos em vitrines para uma associação da entrada do consumidor à loja e consequentemente uma venda maior de seus produtos, e também o estudo realizado por Oh e Petrie (2012) sobre vitrines com exposição de produtos ou imagem da loja, que remetem a baixa ou alta cognição do consumidor. Este experimento teve como objetivo mensurar a relação entre o aumento da frequência de alterações de vitrines e o aumento das vendas dos produtos de moda nas lojas. Procurará também contribuir para melhor entendimento dessas variáveis em um ambiente externo de varejo. Através de experimento em campo classificado como quasi-experimento e com obtenção de estudo de séries temporais, foi realizado um estudo em 3 lojas de uma rede de vestuário de moda popular para baixa renda, localizadas em ruas de comércio e denominadas em lojas A, B e C. Foram feitas mudanças frequentes, a cada 3 dias, na sugestão de looks de produtos de moda feminina jovem (mulheres de 16 a 24 anos) na vitrine da loja A, em um determinado período, de 04 a 13 de janeiro de 2018, e nenhuma alteração ou mudança nas outras vitrines das lojas B e C, para se investigar a influência da mesma no volume de vendas físicas dos produtos expostos. Houve exceção na loja C, onde foi colocado um ponto focal ou ponto de reforço de informação (manequim) no interior da loja ao lado do equipamento dos produtos. As lojas escolhidas tiveram o critério de pertencer ao mesmo cluster, com variáveis de comportamentos semelhantes para as 3 lojas. Essas variáveis levaram em consideração o volume de vendas, metragem quadrada da loja, perfil de renda do consumidor, localização (se é de rua ou shopping), equipamentos e formatos de exposição. Os resultados obtidos foram de que a mudança mais frequente na vitrine da loja A apresentou um aumento de volume de vendas físicas com 43 peças, e 41 e 56 peças nas lojas B e C respectivamente, sendo que nesta última o volume foi maior devido à exposição de ponto focal interno, o que mostra que o complemento da informação ao consumidor no ambiente interno pode auxiliar nas vendas. A diferença estatística ficou abaixo de 0,1% em seu valor-p, quando feita a comparação entre as 3 lojas (A, B e C). Essas comparações se mostraram necessárias devido à exceção feita à loja D com seu ponto focal. Desta maneira, há indícios significativos na relação entre aumento de ofertas de looks de produtos na vitrine e aumento nas vendas desses produtos, levando a crer que, quando feita a exposição de produtos em uma vitrine de pouca carga cognitiva direcionada para esse público, pode influenciar o shopper a entrar na loja e comprar.<br>The window display was always a challenge subject research in a retail environment. We can mention some authors to base this experiment, like Mehrabian and Russel (1974) about S.O.R (Stimulus-Organism-Response) theory, Sen, Block e Chandran (2002) that explicit how important is the window display and product information to associate the shopper entry in the store and consequently increase sales, and also, the research made by Oh and Petrie (2002) about window display with product display versus store image, that refer a low or high shopper cognitive load. This experiment aim measures the relationship between rising frequency of window display changes and growth of product sales (in units) in the fashion retail stores. It will also contribute for better understanding about these variables in an external retail environment. Through field experiment classified as quasi-experiment and getting time series analysis, it was realized a study in four stores in a popular fashion apparel chain (low income), located in a commercial street and divided /called by A, B and C stores. Changes in the window display were frequently made, every 3 days, with fashion young female (women from 16 to 24 years old) looks suggestion displayed in the store A window, over a certain period, from 4 to 13 January 2018, and, any other change was made in the window displays from B and C stores. The purpose of that was to investigate the influence from window displays on products physical sales. There was an exception in a C store, where an internal display (dummy) was put inside the store beside the product equipment. Stores were selected with same cluster standards, including same variables of behavior for all 3 stores. These variables took into consideration the following aspects: sales volume, stores size square meters, shopper income profile, store location, equipment and display formats. The results obtained shows that rise frequency changes on window display in A store provided a growth of physical sales volume with 43 pieces of clothing, and 41 and 56 in B and C stores respectively, however in the last store the sales volume was higher than others due to internal display (dummy), which showed us that complement information to the shopper can help on sales. There was statistical difference below 0.1% over p-value in a comparison between 3 stores (A, B and C). These comparisons were required due to the exception of C store and internal display. In this way, we could find significant evidence in the relation between rising the offering of products in the window display and growth of physical product sales, into believing that it can influence shopper enter in the store and buy products when a window display is prepared with low cognitive load toward to these clients.

Revised; Originally Published: 1983<br>2 pp.<br>An ideal hedge for screening patio areas should have dense foliage from the base to the very top of the plants. In order to develop a hedge with these qualities, the gardener should prune the plants in such a manner as to encourage the plants to develop branches and leaves at the lower portion at the time of planting and until the desired height is reached. The procedures for pruning shrubs are simple, but in many instances the basic principles are overlooked or not put into practice simply because the gardener does not want to sacrifice the growth of the plants before they reach the desired height.

Full textAbstract:
Debido a la contaminación del medio ambiente producto de la emanación de gases contaminantes hacia la atmósfera proveniente del uso de combustibles fósiles, la deforestación de los bosques y el aumento de la población, han intensificado el denominado “efecto invernadero”, haciendo que la temperatura del planeta se eleve con repercusiones desastrosas, ocasionando la escasez de agua, sequías, incendios, inundaciones, derretimiento de los hielos polares y el aumento del nivel de los océanos, este incremento de temperatura es el llamado “calentamiento global”, que está ocasionando cambios climáticos que traen como consecuencia grandes problemas para la humanidad, siendo las plantas de energía convencional o no renovable, que funcionan quemando combustibles fósiles, aquellas que más contaminan la atmósfera con dióxido de carbono, metano y otros gases. Es por tal motivo que se hace necesario plantear nuevas fuentes de energía, la cual tiene que ser limpia y renovable, que no contamine nuestra atmósfera, tal como se plantea en el presente trabajo de tesis, en el que se propone como fuente de energía renovable la “TORRE SOLAR”, que consiste en una estructura tipo chimenea de gran altura, cuyo sistema combina la tecnología solar térmica, eólica y geotérmica para generar electricidad limpia, basándose en un fenómeno tan simple como es la convección (el aire caliente pesa menos y tiende a subir). La planta consta de una superficie circular de terreno que se recubre con un material transparente (plástico o vidrio) con una torre hueca central. El aire al calentarse asciende por la chimenea moviendo unas turbinas que se encuentran en su interior, unas tuberías enterradas en el terreno sirven de almacenamiento térmico, lo que garantiza el funcionamiento las 24 horas del día (aun sin sol), además la superficie transparente puede ser utilizada como invernadero agrícola y la torre como mirador turístico. Esta fuente de energía renovable es totalmente limpia, su único combustible es el sol y la tecnología utilizada en su construcción es muy simple (plástico o cristal y una simple torre de concreto armado) por lo que la electricidad generada resultará pronto competitiva, con mayor razón en la zona de interés de nuestro estudio (Región Loreto – Amazonía Peruana) considerada el pulmón del mundo. Siendo el caso que en dichos lugares, se están utilizando como fuente de energía, las centrales térmicas, que funcionan quemando petróleo, contaminando enormemente la atmósfera con dióxido de carbono<br>Due to the environmental pollution because of the pollutant gas emissions towards the atmosphere as a result of the use of fossil fuels, forest deforestation and the population increase have intensified the “greenhouse effect,” making the planet‟s temperature raise with terrible consequences, generating the shortage of water, droughts, fires, floods, melting of polar ice caps and the increase of the oceans‟ level. This increase of temperature is named “global warming” which is causing climate changes giving big problems to humans, being the conventional or non-renewable power plants, which burn fossil fuels, those who pollute the most with carbon dioxide, methane and other gases. For that reason, it is necessary to consider new energy sources which have to be clean and renewable for not polluting our atmosphere, as presented in this thesis project that suggest the use of a “SOLAR UPDRAFT TOWER” as a source of renewable energy. This tower consists of a very tall chimney-like structure, which system combines solar, thermal, wind and geothermal technology to generate clean electricity, based on a very simple phenomenon like convection (warm air weights less and tends to rise up). The plant has a round surface of land covered by a transparent material (plastic or glass) with a superficial central tower. When the air warms, it rises up by the chimney moving some turbines located inside it, some pipes buried in the land serve as thermal storage, guarantying the functioning during the 24 hours of a day (even without sun); also, the transparent surface can be used as an agricultural greenhouse and the tower as a tourist viewpoint. This renewable energy source is totally clean, its only fuel is the sun and the technology used in its construction is very simple (plastic or crystal and a simple tower of reinforced concrete), so the electricity generated will become competitive very soon, mainly in the area of interest of our research (Region of Loreto – Peruvian Amazonia), considered the lungs of the world. Since those places are being used as energy source, the thermal stations that operate by burning oil pollute the atmosphere with carbon dioxide

Full textAbstract:
Andreas Molin proved in 2011 that it is possible to renovate houses from the 70s to plus-energy housing when he gained a positive annual net energy balance at his house Villa Finnängen. To become a plus-energy house numerous changes were made. The most important of these were improving thermal transmission, replacing a pellet heater for a heat pump, installing solar power, and improving ventilation. Southern Bälinge is an area outside of Uppsala with similar conditions to Villa Finnängen pre-renovation. If the same changes made to Villa Finnängen were done to houses in Southern Bälinge: how will these houses respond to renovations in relation to Villa Finnängen, and how well does the Villa Finnängen model translate on a larger scale? These questions will be answered from the energy balance before and after renovation simulated in the program VIP-energy.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis is a collection of non-fiction and fictional narratives focused on domestic space and its impact on father-daughter relationships and vice versa. In all of the narratives the notion of a house under renovation serves as a vehicle for the figurative tension between members of the family and family space. The narratives offer no internal markers to indicate whether they are fiction or non-fiction, which demonstrates my conviction that only factors external to the text---relation to fact or to imagination---can determine a narrative's status as fiction or non-fiction.<br>The required afterword to my narratives discusses the theoretical problem of the distinction between fiction and non-fiction as well as the living nature of material culture and space as reflections and mediators of father-daughter relationships.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 1999.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaf 54).<br>Determinants of the rental housing landlord's decision to renovate are investigated using the Property Owners and Managers Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1995. Relationships are examined between the probability of renovation and the financial, managerial, structural, ownership and tenant characteristics provided by the survey. Four renovation types are examined, kitchen replacement, bathroom renovation, plumbing upgrade and heating system upgrade. Multivariate analysis is used to estimate the relative effects of above characteristics on the likelihood of renovation. Several relationships are found to be important. Recently purchased properties were more likely to be renovated than others. Employment of a property manager decreased likelihood of renovation. Profitable properties appear less likely to be renovated than others. Probability of renovation is affected by, but does not increase directly with, size or age. Further research incorporating both these characteristics and property and neighborhood conditions is recommended.<br>by Matthew S. Stevens.<br>S.M.
