O objetivo deste estudo é detectar estereótipos do Brasil e dos brasileiros no episódio “O feitiço de Lisa” (Blame it on Lisa) da série televisiva Os Simpsons, estereótipos estes já outrora detectados e catalogados pelo professor Dr. Tunico Amancio, através de sua vasta pesquisa cinematográfica ao longo dos anos, sendo que em 1998, em sua tese pela USP, versou sobre a representação do Brasil e dos brasileiros nos filmes de ficção estrangeiros, onde verificou a incidência de estereótipos e clichês no decorrer da história. Através da comparação entre o olhar dos produtores do episódio d’Os Simpsons e o olhar de Amancio, busco compreender questões como: De que forma o episódio d’Os Simpsons representa o Brasil? Os estereótipos utilizados pelo cinema estrangeiro para representar o Brasil, já detectados por Tunico Amancio, confirmam-se no episódio? O seriado Os Simpsons reproduz e reforça, ou ironiza e satiriza esses mesmos estereótipos detectados por Amancio? Se sim, qual a intenção/motivação que leva os produtores e roteiristas d’Os Simpsons a satirizar tais estereótipos? Buscando respostas aos questionamentos e embasamento teórico para a pesquisa, no trabalho apresento alguns conceitos básicos de estereótipo, cultura, representações culturais no cinema e na televisão, ironia, sátira, além de formatos e gêneros televisivos. Também abordo temas como dominação cultural, a relação histórica entre colonizador-colonizado, direcionamento e da falta de verossimilhança na representatividade cinematográfica, além de uma descrição detalhada da série e de seus personagens. Através deste trabalho, posso compreender se o episódio analisado utiliza os estereótipos já catalogados por Amancio e, se sim, utiliza-os para realmente tentar representar o Brasil ou para ironizar e debochar dos próprios estereótipos já difundidos ao longo dos séculos pela televisão e pelo cinema

[toliau žr. visą tekstą]Nowadays television has become concurrent in people‘s life and its role is constantly changing, so the influence of television should be taken into consideration. It is heard that modern animation is not proper for children, however they spend quite a lot of time in front of TV watching some cartoons. American animated serial „The Simpsons“ has attained special attention. Despite the fact that the film is for adults children also watch it with pleasure. Theoretical paradigms, that have been currently developing, are analyzing the changing role of television. A great attention is paid to the content of postmodern television and its‘ relations with the audience. Studying television in postmodern context is one of techniques to analize the changes of television. The aim of this paper is to reveal satire of modern society‘s values in „The Simpsons“ serial. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, the main dominant opinions about the mass media are analysed. Moreover, typical postmodern features of modern television are presented. In addition to this, the main characters are described and the prevailing ethical moral problems are revealed. Animated serial „The Simpsons“ is described as a prime postmodern work, that is characterized by a complex content, self-perception, fragmentation, satire, allusion, intertextuality, parody and imitation. „The Simpsons“ ventilates different topicality of the society. Moreover, in „The Simpsons“ sore points are raised and modern values... [to full text]

Summary in English.Bibliography: p. [181]-195.
Contemporary life is distinguished by a massive capacity for exchanging information. Increasingly comprehensive, global communication networks allow discrete realities to be linked. These prolific sources of representation generate a "membrane" of mediation, and a formal regime of fragmentation, depthlessness and allusiveness (Chambers, 11). These economic, epistemological and aesthetic conditions constitute postmodernism. This dissertation addresses the theoretical challenge of form by attempting to craft an approach commensurate to such semiotic density (Wollen, 65). Since formalist approaches have been criticised as ahistorical, attention is given to the concept's social dimensions hence the history and production context of communication technology is considered. The inquiry also acknowledges the specificities of its location. The matrix of unfamiliar allusions which characterises the South African experience of American texts, embodies the multi-tiered allusiveness of postmodernist texts. It also illustrates the cult precept that quotation can be appreciated even when its source is not recognized. Cult theorises viewership as active yet ambivalent (Eco, 1988, 454). The initial chapter delineates parameters in postmodernism, narrative, genre and cult theory. Subsequent chapters examine three postmodernist television series: Moonlighting, a detective series, Twin Peaks, a soap opera, and The Simpsons, an animated sitcom. Deploying parody, self-reflexivity and intertextuality, each has a complex relation with genre. Tony Bennett conceives of the latter as zones of sociality which constitute and are constituted by other zones (105). Changes in genre therefore articulate changes in modes of thinking and inscribe different reading strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Satire is a form of humor used to criticize society and ridicule those who govern through irony, exaggeration and humor. What separates satire from other forms of social and political protest is that it uses humor to change human behavior. With our study, we ask ourselves if satire can be used to spread information and knowledge via animated entertainment shows such as The Simpsons. Our main research question is: Can the audiences of The Simpsons understand messages within the show’s entertainment context through its use of satire? To help us answer this we also have secondary inquiries such as: Is the satire within The Simpsons comprehended by its audiences? And, Is animation an appropriate method to engage information at hand? The main purpose of this study is that we are curious if you can more easily become aware of new information and serious matters through the combined use of humor and entertainment. We have chosen The Simpsons to focus on because they were the show that started a new genre of animated satirical comedy on TV. This genre is in today's television society very popular and as a result has created new satirical hit shows as Family Guy and South Park. Moreover we also reasoned that it is possible to make use of an American TV series in a Swedish study, since the world is now very connected, so influences and products move between land borders with relative ease, such as between the U.S.A and Sweden. We have based our theoretical framework around different types of genres that together with satire can help form an idea regarding if The Simpsons uses its perceived satire to possibly spread information and knowledge. As a use of method we have in this study chosen focus group interviews. The groups are to view a selected episode of The Simpsons, and then discuss aspects of the program. Using these focus groups, we want to distinguish The Simpsons use of satire and if it is effective in spreading information and knowledge. With our research, we concluded that there are different views on the use of animation to spread knowledge and information. One side argues the fact that the animated form is effective since restrictions are few. There are some who claim that animation can result in diluting the impact of satire. Participants in the focus groups clearly saw the episode 's message and theme and many of the satirical references. Ultimately the use of satirical humor to spread knowledge and information can to some degree be claimed to be an effective way to reach out to the audience with messages and opinions.Satir är en form av humor som används för att kritisera samhället och förlöjliga de som styr genom ironi, överdrifter och humor. Det som skiljer satir från andra former av social och politisk protest är att den använder sig av just humor för att ändra mänskligt beteende. Med vår studie frågar vi oss om man kan använda satir för att sprida information och kunskap via ett animerat underhållningsprogram som The Simpsons. Vår huvudfrågeställning är: Kan publiken av The Simpsons ta åt sig information och kunskap inom programmets underhållningskontext samt via dess användning av satir? För att få svar på detta har vi också använt oss av sekundära frågor såsom: uppfattar och/eller uppskattar personer som tittar på The Simpsons satir? Är animation en lämplig eller olämplig metod för att ta åt sig information? Huvudsyftet med denna studie är att vi är nyfikna på om man enklare kan ta åt sig information och allvarliga ämnen i kombination med humor och underhållning. Vi har valt The Simpsons som undersökningsobjekt eftersom de var dem som startade en ny genre av animerad satirisk komedi på TV. Denna genre är i dagens TV-samhälle väldigt populär och det har skapats nya satiriska succéprogram som Family Guy och South Park som följd av detta. Vi har också motiverat att det går att använda oss av en Amerikansk Tv-serie i en svensk studie eftersom världen är nu väldigt sammankopplad och influenser och produkter flyttas mellan landsgränser relativt enkelt, såsom mellan USA och Sverige. Vi har baserat vårt teoretiska ramverk kring olika typer av genrer, som tillsammans med satir kan hjälpa bilda en uppfattning om The Simpsons använder sig av sin föreställda satir för att eventuellt sprida information och kunskap. Som metod har vi till denna studie valt att använda oss av fokusgruppsintervjuer där grupperna får se ett utvalt avsnitt av The Simpsons och sedan diskutera aspekter av programmet. Med hjälp av dessa fokusgrupper vill vi urskilja The Simpsons användande av satir och om den är effektiv för att sprida information och kunskap. Med vår undersökning kom vi fram till att det förekommer delade uppfattningar om att använda animation för att sprida kunskap och information. Ena sidan tar upp det faktum att den animerade formen är effektiv då begränsningarna är få, den andra sidan påstår att animation kan leda till att budskap kan vara svåra att ta på allvar på grund av satirens överdrivande och fartfyllda egenskaper. Deltagarna i fokusgrupperna såg tydligt avsnittets budskap och tema samt många av de satiriska referenserna. Att använda satirisk humor för att sprida kunskap och information kan till viss grad påstås vara ett effektivt sätt att nå ut till publiken med budskap och åsikter.

Tendo como pressuposto que, no discurso persuasivo, são mobilizados mecanismos retóricos para produção de efeito de sentido, observaremos como tais mecanismos são utilizados na produção do efeito cômico, com base nas teorias da enunciação e do risívelThis work aims to evaluate the underlying values in the working up of the comicality and the expressional resources employed in the Simpsons cartoon meaning creation. Assuming that in the persuasive discourse the rhetoric mechanisms are gathered for the meaning effect creation, we evaluated how such mechanisms are employed and how the comical effect is created based on the theories of the laughabla and of the enunciation.

This essay analyses the animated series The Simpsons as a cartoon sitcom, for both mature and young audience. The show The Simpsons was chosen because it is the longest prime-time comedy show on television, and has instigated the return of prime-time animation to television. Through The Simpsons, shape, creation, production its studied and the way the content in the episodes are well developed, reaching discussion points of view and debating issues about contemporary society throughout the satire and irony, exploiting the many possibilities of the series narrative structure. It is considered the most critical TV show nowadays. This essay delineates a development overview of the series showing the context, which the cartoon content develops by the analysis of episodes. It also creates meta-texts to make critics about the popular culture and the own animated series. It also makes several references to movies and other works, creating a new and original production. A study about this animated series is indispensable to a country, as Brazil, in which this industry sector points new ways for its development in the 21st century and its reaching its own space on the TV, whatever nationally or internationally broadcasted, like The Simpsons conquered on 1989.Este estudo analisa a série animada Os Simpsons como um programa televisivo de apelo crítico, que mostra uma visão irônica e satírica da sociedade contemporânea, apresentando seu formato de desenho animado seriado de comédia de situações para uma audiência juvenil e adulta. A série foi escolhida como objeto de estudo por ser a série de comédia que está há mais tempo no horário nobre e que provocou a volta do desenho animado para este horário tendo como foco uma audiência mais madura. Através de Os Simpsons, é estudada a forma de criação e produção de um desenho animado para televisão e o modo como o conteúdo dos roteiros é desenvolvido, potencializando seu apelo crítico ao levantar discussões sobre a sociedade através da sátira, sempre explorando as possibilidades da estrutura narrativa do seriado. O estudo traça um panorama sobre o desenvolvimento da série ao longo dos anos, através de análises de episódios e aprofundando-se em como os recursos narrativos são utilizados para fazer uma sátira ou autocrítica em relação à própria série, ou à mídia em que é veiculada. Além disso, através de elementos intertextuais, faz referências a outras obras, inserindo-as em seus episódios de forma interessante, compactuando com um tipo de espectador mais crítico. Um estudo profundo sobre a série animada é imprescindível para um país em que o setor de animação está em desenvolvimento no século XXI e começa a conquistar espaço nas emissoras de televisão, tanto nacionais, quanto estrangeiras, como Os Simpsons fizeram desde 1989.

This study is to show the importance of the cartoon The Simpsons, produced in the early eighties by the cartoonist Matt Grening. The study shows the contemporary facts and transformations of a cartoon produced and broadcast for twenty years without interruptions. In this context, the cartoon reveals global aspects, talking about subjects such as family, work, consumption, education, and religion all appropriated to the countries where The Simpsons are broadcast, by processes of linguistic and cultural translation. It also addresses internal North-American issues such as the weapons culture, and the idea of democracy and freedom
Este trabalho busca compreender a importância do desenho animado Os Simpsons, produzido no final da década de 1980 pelo cartunista Matt Groening, para se perceber a contemporaneidade e suas transformações, visto ser esta uma animação produzida e transmitida ininterruptamente há vinte anos. Dentro desse contexto, revela um aspecto global, ao trabalhar temáticas relativas à família, ao trabalho, ao consumo, à educação e à religião, mas que também discute questões internas aos Estados Unidos, como a cultura de armas e a idéia de democracia e liberdade, apropriadas nos países que transmitem a série, dentro de um processo de tradução linguística e cultural

Now is a complicated time to be an educator. There are many facets underlying the issues that we face within our schools these days. Although we cannot tackle these challenges all at once, we can take small steps, one school, one class, and one student at a time. This thesis presents the animated TV series The Simpsons as a compelling example of the role popular culture plays in motivating and engaging student participation in the classroom. By focusing on the shows' satirical underpinnings, referential humour, and carefully-crafted subplots, The Simpsons becomes a powerful classroom tool for engaging students, facilitating critical discourse around issues of diversity and promoting peaceful, interactive classroom communities. By discussing relevant educational theory as illustrated by examples of the show's tongue-in-cheek critique of our society, we will come to see The Simpsons as a valuable classroom resource (and so much more than simply a silly cartoon).De nos jours, il est compliqué d'être enseignant. À vrai dire, les problèmes rencontrés dans les écoles englobent plusieurs aspects. Bien que ces problèmes ne puissent pas tous être réglés en même temps, il est par contre possible d'y aller à petits pas; une école, une classe et un étudiant à la fois. Cette thèse présente l'émission Les Simpsons comme un exemple important du rôle que la culture populaire joue sur la motivation et la participation des élèves en classe. En mettant l'accent sur cette émission satirique, remplie d'humour référentiel et d'intrigues secondaires bien pensées, l'émission Les Simpsons devient un outil percutant dans la classe pour motiver les élèves, les inciter à entretenir diverses discussions critiques et promouvoir une communauté paisible emplie d'interactions. En discutant de théories pertinentes tirées d'exemples ironiques de notre société, nous allons voir comment l'émission Les Simpsons peut devenir une ressource précieuse à utiliser en classe plutôt que de la voir comme un simple dessin animé.

Full textAbstract:
Introduktion: Vänsterkammarens ejektionsfraktion (VKEF) är ett central mått på systolisk funktion i vänster kammare och är en av de mest betydelsefulla parametrar vid ekokardiografiska undersökningar. Idag är Simpson biplan metoden den mest använda metoden för bestämning av ejektionsfraktionen. Vid ekokardiografiska undersökningar sänder givaren med piezoelektriska kristaller ut ultraljudsvågor med en frekvens över 20 000 Hz. Ljudvågorna som skickas ut i kroppen reflekteras och sedan återvänder de till givaren för att skapa en bild. Denna studie jämför den tvådimensionella (2D) ultraljudsmetoden Simpsons biplan med Philips Heart Model som är en automatiserad tredimensionella (3D) funktion för bedömning av VKEF. Material och metod: I studien inkluderades 31 hjärtfriska försökspersoner mellan åldrarna 21-64. Det samlades in bilder på apikala 4- och 2 kammarbilder från alla försökspersoner där Simpsons biplan metoden användes för att beräkna ejektionsfraktion. Apikala 4-kammarbilder samlades in för att beräkna ejektionsfraktionen med Philips Heart Model 3D funktion. Resultat: Resultatet från denna studie visade att det inte föreligger någon signifikant skillnad mellan Simpsons biplan metoden och Philips Heart Model metoden för bestämning av ejektionsfraktion. Båda metoderna visade likvärdiga mätresultat. Diskussion: Philips Heart Model metoden är en relativ ny funktion som använder sig av artificiell intelligens för att analysera 3D bilder. Philips Heart Model metoden är en säker funktion att använda då de flesta studier bevisar likvärdiga och säkra mätresultat i jämförelse med andra metoder. Konklusion: Enligt denna studie ger Philips Heart Model funktionen likvärdiga mätresultat av vänsterkammarens ejektionsfraktion i jämförelse med Simpsons biplan.Introduction: Simpson’s biplane method is the most used method for determining the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in echocardiographic examinations. Ejection fraction is a central measurement of the heart's global systolic function. The probe with piezoelectric crystals emits ultrasound waves with a frequency above 20,000 Hz. The sound waves that are sent out into the body are reflected and then return to the probe to create an image. This study compares the two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound Simpson's biplane method with the Philips Heart Model method, which is an automated three-dimensional (3D) function for assessment of LVEF. Material and method: 31 subjects with no recorded heart pathologies between the ages of 21-64 were included in the study. Apical 4- and 2-chamber images were collected from the test subjects, where the Simpson's biplane method was applied to calculate the ejection fraction. 2D apical 4-chamber images were collected to convert to 3D and used to calculate the ejection fraction with the Philips Heart Model. Results: The results of this study showed that there is no significant difference between the Simpson’s biplane method and the Philips Heart Model method for determining ejection fraction. Discussion: The Philips Heart Model method is a relatively new feature that uses artificial intelligence to analyze 3D images. The Philips Heart Model method is a reliable feature to use as most studies have proven similar and reliable measurements when comparing it with other methods for determining LVEF. Conclusion: According to this study, the Philips Heart Model feature provides equivalent measurements in comparison with the manual method Simpson's biplane.

Tendo como objeto de análise o episódio “Blame it on Lisa” do seriado norte-americano “Os Simpsons”, o presente estudo discute o processo de construção de imagens sobre o Brasil, a partir do olhar estrangeiro e das relações de identidade e alteridade, identificações e estranhamentos. A escolha por este episódio reside no fato de descrever a visita da família Simpsons ao Brasil e, assim, construir uma narrativa baseada em críticas e estereótipos sobre os personagens brasileiros e a cultura do país. Lançado em 2002, o episódio causou bastante polêmica entre os telespectadores e o próprio governo brasileiro. O desenvolvimento desta pesquisa será pautado principalmente nos Estudos Culturais, através da análise do episódio, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica e de outros conteúdos (filmes, livros, jornais, revistas, etc) que nos forneçam indícios para entendermos a forma como as imagens sobre o país, sob uma perspectiva “estrangeira”, construiu-se marcada por estereótipos. Partindo da inquietação causada pelas imagens do país reproduzidas nos filmes estrangeiros tentamos discutir de que maneira esse olhar é direcionado a “nós”, qual o processo de construção desse retrato brasileiro e a dimensão do diálogo entre o olhar do “outro” e o do nativo, tendo em vista as identidades do brasileiro e do Brasil forjadas por “nós”.
With the object of analysis the episode "Blame it on Lisa" series of U.S. "The Simpsons", this study discusses the process of images construction on Brazil, from view and foreign relations of identity and otherness, strangeness and identifications. The choice this episode lies in the fact describes the Simpsons family visit to Brazil and thus constructs a narrative based on criticisms and stereotypes about the characters and the Brazilian culture. Launched in 2002, the episode caused quite a stir among viewers and Brazilian government. The development of this research will be guided mainly in Cultural Studies, through analysis of the episode, from literature and other content (movies, books, newspapers, magazines, etc.) that give us clues to understanding how images on the country, from one perspective "foreign", built up marked by stereotypes. Starting from the unrest caused by the images reproduced in the country foreign films, we discuss how this gaze is directed to “ourselves", how the process of constructing this Brazil‟s portrait and the size of the dialogue between the gaze of the "other" and the native, having in view of the identities of Brazil and Brazilian forged by "ourselves."

Este trabalho mostra que o ensino e a aprendizagem de língua estrangeira precisam incluir temas de relevância social para a vida do aprendiz a fim de torná-lo um cidadão crítico, apto a viver em sociedade e capaz de desenvolver valores éticos que o ajudem a promover a auto-estima e a autoconfiança. A pesquisa buscou observar os resultados da aplicação de atividades construídas a partir do desenho animado Os Simpsons em aulas de língua inglesa, privilegiando a utilização dos meios de comunicação de massa para levar o aluno a aprimorar os seus conhecimentos na língua-alvo. Para o estudo, aliou-se à teoria sociointeracionista de Vygotsky os pressupostos filosóficos de Paulo Freire. Defendeu-se a mediação da aprendizagem através de recursos que venham ao encontro dos interesses do aluno, bem como a interação que ocorre dentro e fora de sala de aula ao se abordar assuntos relacionados à realidade ou ao cotidiano do aprendiz. A metodologia escolhida foi de caráter qualitativo, consistindo em um estudo de caso, que se utilizou de instrumentos de pesquisa como: questionários, diários de aprendizagem e entrevistas. Com base nos pressupostos teóricos e na análise dos dados coletados, demonstrou-se que o uso do desenho animado como elemento gerador de debates levou os aprendizes a refletirem sobre sua postura perante a vida e dentro da própria comunidade, fazendo-os reavaliarem valores éticos e sua atuação como cidadãos. Estudos sobre a utilização de programas pertencentes à cultura de massa em aulas de língua estrangeira se mostram, portanto, promissores e um campo fértil para futuras pesquisas.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to establish meme theory as an analytical paradigm within the fields of screen and fan studies. Meme theory is an emerging framework founded upon the broad concept of a “meme”, a unit of culture that, if successful, proliferates among a given group of people. Created as a cultural analogue to genetics, memetics has developed into a cultural theory and, as the concept of memes is increasingly applied to online behaviours and activities, its relevance to the area of media studies materialises. The landscapes of media production and spectatorship are in constant fluctuation in response to rapid technological progress. The internet provides global citizens with unprecedented access to media texts (and their producers), information, and other individuals and collectives who share similar knowledge and interests. The unprecedented speed with (and extent to) which information and media content spread among individuals and communities warrants the consideration of a modern analytical paradigm that can accommodate and keep up with developments. Meme theory fills this gap as it is compatible with existing frameworks and offers researchers a new perspective on the factors driving the popularity and spread (or lack of popular engagement with) a given media text and its audience. Following overviews of meme theory and fan studies, this thesis synthesises methods from both fields to analyse one of this generation’s most notable televisual fan-texts, The Simpsons, and its fandom. The memetic analysis thereof, integrated with the works of fan theorists including John Fiske and Henry Jenkins, reveals the implications of the fan-text’s memetic content in the economic, cultural and social capital interests of its creators, distributors, and fans. The revelations credited to the memetic aspect of the analysis support the conjecture that it is a suitable analytical framework for the fields of fan and screen studies.

Esta dissertação, pautada nos estudos sobre tradução, paródia e semiótica fílmica, propõe investigar como ocorreu a recriação do poema The Raven e do conto The Tell-Tale Heart, ambos do escritor norte-americano Edgar Allan Poe, para a série de animação Os Simpsons nos episódios The Treehouse Horror I, The Telltale Head e Lisa’s Rival, dirigidos respectivamente por Rich Moore, David Silverman e Mark Kirkland. A fundamentação teórica baseou-se em estudiosos de tradução como Gideon Toury, Jacques Derrida, Rosemary Arrojo, dentre outros; alguns conceitos relacionados à semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce; no que se refere à paródia, foram utilizados conceitos de Mikhail Bakhtin e de Linda Hutcheon, que vêem a paródia atualmente como a própria tônica da criação artística. Como resultado, constatou-se que essas recriações devem ser consideradas como uma nova experiência de leitura e interpretação, que embora guarde um vínculo temático com o texto de partida, existe como uma criação independente, enquanto obra relida. Afinal, se o local de enunciação é outro e se há uma disjunção histórica entre as obras, certamente, os efeitos provocados devem ser distintos.

Full textAbstract:
Although animated sitcom fiction has always been the focus of researchers analysis,
historical studies about animated series aired on TV are still scarce. Moreover, whether
researchers have investigated animated sitcoms, it was not with the intention of
discussing their relation to the images of Brazil and Brazilians conveyed both on TV
and the Internet. Because of that the object of study of this thesis is the discussion of
socio-historical-political dimensions in The Simpsons , a profitable animated sitcom
and a satirical parody of a working class American lifestyle family, whose episodes
have been aired on Brazil and all over the world s TV channels for more than two
decades. Therefore, the corpus of this investigation is some of the series episodes,
notably Blame it on Lisa during which the fictional family travels to Brazil. With the
objective of bringing to light the representations of Brazil in the last decades the
research makes use of the internauts speech acts of which emerge their critical discourse
construction of the The Simpsons. The Internet, an interesting locus to reveal Brazil and
its relation to the American production of series, is also used not only in an attempt to
define simpsonized language and discuss the (re)signification of Brazil s imagery as
created by the internauts, but also to put to question concepts such as family, childhood,
criminality, violence, sexuality in children s programs and the lampooning of Brazilian
identity symbols, always treated in an unflattering or negative light, in the search for
larger audiences (Top 30 ratings) and for money, categories also selected for the
development of this work. Still, anthropophagy, a category largely used in Brazilian
literary (con)texts in the beginning of the XX century, supported the analysis of
internauts and actual viewers perception of the series as a point of departure for helping
engender behavior and attitudes that can help rebuild realities, via massive media, even
if inspired by The Simpsons, and mainly based upon criticism revealed by the episode
Blame it in Lisa. On the one hand, the text attests the capacity of Brazilians, by means
of using communicative technologies, for reacting against the negative satirical portrait
of Brazil and Brazilians and on the other, for rescuing this image, even if utilizing that
simpsonized language . Research leads to the conclusion that Brazilian internauts and
actual viewers do not watch The Simpsons passively but stand up against the
unflattering insinuations in relation to Brazilian culture, society, history, folklore, Brazil
and the Brazilian people, and try to rescue those images conveyed by the sitcom
episodes, especially the ones in Blame it on Lisa . And yet, the text evidences that
certain images of Brazil and Brazilians represented in the animated sitcom expresses the
troublesome reality of truthfully and because of that they have become one of the thesis
concerns and another significant aspect to be considered. Such images are the reason for
the investigator s raising relevant questions and his strongly suggesting accurate
reflection and discussion on such a matter.Embora as séries ficcionais animadas tenham sido alvo de análises pelos pesquisadores, estudos históricos sobre os desenhos animados da TV são ainda incipientes. Alem disso, se os pesquisadores investigaram os seriados animados, não foi com a intenção de discutir sua relação com as imagens de Brasil e de brasileiros veiculados na TV e na Internet. Por essas razões, o objeto de estudo desta tese é a discussão sobre as dimensões sócio-histórico-políticas em Os Simpsons , paródia satírica lucrativa sobre uma família de classe média americana cujos episódios povoaram as telinhas do Brasil e de outros países por mais de duas décadas. Portanto, o corpus desta investigação são alguns dos capítulos da série, em especial O Feitiço de Lisa, durante o qual a família ficcional viaja ao Brasil. Com o objetivo de trazer à luz as representações de Brasil das últimas décadas, esta pesquisa utiliza a fala dos internautas da qual emerge a construção de seu discurso crítico sobre Os Simpsons e nosso país. A Internet, lugar para revelar o Brasil e suas relações com a produção americana de séries ficcionais, é também usada, não apenas como tentativa para definir linguagem simpsonizada e discutir a (re)significação da imagem do Brasil como criada pelos internautas, mas também para repensar os conceitos de família, infância, criminalidade, violência, sexualidade em programas infantis e o descaso pelos símbolos identitários do Brasil, sempre tratados de modo negativo e denigritório, na busca por maiores níveis de audiência e dinheiro, estas, categorias também selecionadas para se desenvolver esta investigação. Também, a antropofagia, categoria muito utilizada em (con)textos literários brasileiros no começo do século XX, foi o suporte da análise da percepção dos internautas e telespectadores sobre a referida série, como geradora de atitudes e comportamentos que ajudam a reconstruir realidades, via mídia de massa, mesmo se inspiradas por Os Simpsons, principalmente a partir da crítica revelada no episódio O feitiço de Lisa . O texto, por um lado, atesta a capacidade dos brasileiros, com o uso de tecnologias comunicativas, de reagir contra o retrato satírico-negativo do Brasil e dos brasileiros e, por outro, de promover a retomada dessa imagem, mesmo fazendo uso daquela linguagem simpsonizada . A pesquisa leva à conclusão de que os brasileiros, internautas e telespectadores, nem sempre assistem aos episódios de Os Simpsons passivamente, mas reagem criticamente, posicionando-se contrários às insinuações depreciativas em relação à cultura, sociedade, história, ao folclore, ao próprio povo brasileiro e ao Brasil, e tentam resgatar as imagens do Brasil e dos brasileiros veiculadas na série Os Simpsons, principalmente as exploradas no episódio O Feitiço de Lisa. E, no entanto, o texto evidencia que certas imagens de Brasil e dos brasileiros representadas no desenho animado expressam a problemática realidade do Brasil e, por isso, tornaramse uma preocupação e outro aspecto significante a serem considerados nesta tese. Por essas razões, essas imagens de Brasil se tornam a razão de o investigador levantar questões pertinentes e sugerir veementemente reflexões e discussões sérias sobre esse assunto.

Full textAbstract:
Negli Stati Uniti, l’animazione è rimasta tipicamente associata, fin dalle sue origini, al mondo dell’infanzia, e soprattutto alla Walt Disney. Il target dei prodotti animati, tuttavia, si può oggi considerare decisamente più esteso, soprattutto con l’avvento di diversi prodotti seriali di grande impatto, i quali hanno scardinato molti luoghi comuni legati all’animazione.
Questo lavoro intende condurre una ricerca che ha come obiettivo quello di fornire al lettore un quadro complessivo dello sviluppo della serialità televisiva animata per adulti, dagli anni Novanta fino alle tendenze attuali. A partire da un caso emblematico come The Simpsons, che ha consolidato il nostro modo di intendere l’animazione per adulti, e le ha permesso non solo di sdoganare sulla broadcast TV, ma anche di diventare estremamente popolare, questa ricerca intende comprendere in che modo i prodotti successivi hanno portato avanti le fondamenta che The Simpsons avevano costruito.

Full textAbstract:
Although Audiovisual Translation has received considerable attention in recent years, evidence suggests that there is a paucity of empirical research carried out on the topic of ideological and cultural constraints in audiovisual translation from English into Arabic. This is despite the fact that subtitling and dubbing Western animation into Arabic has been on the increase ever since television sets entered Arab homes; which is why several authority figures are calling for tighter control and moral screening of what is aired on television sets, in particular that which is aimed at children. This study aims to add some understanding of the problems facing practitioners in the dubbing/subtitling industry, such as the reasons for their alleged reality distortion and how these problems are dealt with by the dubbing agencies. This is achieved by exploring the extent ideological and cultural norms, as weB as other agents, shape the outcome of dubbed English animations/films when rendered into Arabic by manipulation, subversion and/or appropriation. Fifty-two dubbed episodes of The Simpsons were selected for this study. The Simpsons was chosen due to its universal appeal and influence. It addresses many sensitive issues, such as sex, drugs, religion, politics, racial and gender stereotypes, with a bluntness and boldness rarely seen before, and goes beyond passive entertainment and school education. Therefore, it is looked at with suspicion and vigilance in the Arab World. The methodological approach adopted for this study is primarily qualitative, which is proven to provide the kind of expert understanding this study aims to achieve, as Denzin and Lincoln (1994) attest. Because this research springs from the conviction that the issues involved constitute a complex phenomenon, and because the aim is to uncover what could be learnt about intrinsic and extrinsic conditions, it is important to adopt Toury's (1980, 1995) descriptive translation studies paradigm as well as critical discourse analysis strategy. This paradigm enables researchers to describe, explore, analyse, interpret views of the participants, and bring forth the representational properties of the screen discourse as a vehicle for ideological and cultural power transfer. The contrastive analysis of the English and Arabic versions of The Simpsons yielded interesting results; it established that the translation process is marred by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors, either exercised by the translator or imposed upon him. Ideological and socio-cultural factors are the chief culprits in the case of translating The Simpsons into Arabic.

Teknologin har gjort det lättare att nå ut till länder och regioner över hela världen. Det har resulterat i att media har kunnat lämna det lokala planet och nå ut till en större marknad än någonsin. I den här uppsatsen kommer vi att granska hur mediebolagens produktioner ändras när de når ut till främmande områden för att fungera på den nya marknaden.
Uppsatsen tittar också på hur nyhetsbolag bevakar olika händelser beroende på om den utspelar sig på ett lokalt eller globalt plan.
Resultatet pekar på att de främsta anpassningarna görs på grund av respekt mot gamla traditioner som religion. Vid nyhetsbevakningen hos mediebolagen är det tydligt att mallar för nyhetsvärdeinger stämmer väl överrens med hur bevakningen görs.

Full textAbstract:
Bedömning av vänster förmaks storlek är viktigt vid diagnosticering samt sjukdomsprognos, men även vid riskbedömning av allvarliga kardiovaskulära sjukdomar. Den vanligaste metoden för bedömning av vänster förmaks storlek är ekokardiografi. Vänster förmak kan bedömas utifrån olika mätmetoder där volymmätning i apikal fyrkammarvyn och tvåkammarvyn är den vanligaste mätningen som ger mest verklighetstroget resultat. Storleken kan även mätas genom mätning av den anteroposteriora diametern i parasternal långaxelsnitt. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om storleken skiljer sig signifikant åt mellan metoderna samt att se om mätningen i långaxelsnittet underskattar storleken jämfört med volymmätningarna. I studien analyserades 30 patienters ekokardiografiska bilder med volymmätning samt mätning av den anteroposteriora diametern. Korrelationsanalysen visade på signifikant positiv korrelation med en determinationskoefficient på 0,667 (P <0,001). Bland-Altmandiagrammet visade att alla värden förutom ett håller sig inom ett 95% konfidensintervall. Vid jämförelse i storleksklassificering metoderna mellan, så påvisades 60% likhet. Mätning av den anteroposteriora diametern är svår för oerfarna att utföra korrekt då det förekommer mycket artefakter och volymmätningen är lättare att lära sig. Volymmätningarna har en större variation än dimensionsmåttet, vilket kan bero på att dimensionsmåttet begränsas av det thorakala rummet. Slutsatsen är att metoderna skiljer sig statistiskt signifikant åt och att dimensionsmåttet underskattar storleken på vänster förmak jämfört med volymmätningar.Assessment of left atrial size is important in diagnosis and disease prognosis, but also in risk assessment of serious cardiovascular diseases. The most common method for assessing the size of the left atrium is echocardiography. The left atrium can be estimated from different measurement methods where the volume measurement in the apical four-chamber view and the two-chamber view is the most common measurement that gives the most realistic result. The size can also be measured by measuring the anteroposterior diameter in the parasternal long-axis view. The aim of the study was to investigate whether the size differs significantly between the methods and to see if the measurement in the long-axis view underestimates the size compared with the volume measurements. In the study, 30 patients’ echocardiographic images were analyzed with volume measurement as well as measurement of the anteroposterior diameter. The correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation with a coefficient of determination of 0,667 (P <0,001). The Bland-Altman plot showed that all values in addition to one, remain within a 95% confidence interval. When comparing size classification between the methods, 60% similarity was shown. The anteroposterior diameter is difficult for the inexperienced to perform correctly as there are many artifacts and the volume measurement is easier to learn. The volume measurement has a greater variation than the anteroposterior diameter, which may be due to the diameter being limited by the thoracic cavity. The conclusion is that the methods are statistically significant different and that the anteroposterior diameter underestimate the size of the left atrium compared with the volume measurements.

Full textAbstract:
Online communities provide a fertile ground for analyzing people\'s behavior and improving our understanding of social processes. For instance, when modeling social interaction online, it is important to understand when people are reacting to each other. Also, since both people and communities change over time, we argue that analyses of online communities that take time into account will lead to deeper and more accurate results. In many cases, however, users behavior can be easily missed: users react to content in many more ways than observed by explicit indicators (such as likes on Facebook or replies on Twitter) and poorly aggregated temporal data might hide, misrepresent and even lead to wrong conclusions about how users are evolving. In order to address the problem of detecting non-explicit responses, we present a new approach that uses tf-idf similarity between a user\'s own tweets and recent tweets by people they follow. Based on a month\'s worth of posting data from 449 ego networks in Twitter, this method demonstrates that it is likely that at least 11% of reactions are not captured by the explicit reply and retweet mechanisms. Further, these uncaptured reactions are not evenly distributed between users: some users, who create replies and retweets without using the official interface mechanisms, are much more responsive to followees than they appear. This suggests that detecting non-explicit responses is an important consideration in mitigating biases and building more accurate models when using these markers to study social interaction and information diffusion. We also address the problem of users evolution in Reddit based on comment and submission data from 2007 to 2014. Even using one of the simplest temporal differences between usersyearly cohortswe find wide differences in people\'s behavior, including comment activity, effort, and survival. Furthermore, not accounting for time can lead us to misinterpret important phenomena. For instance, we observe that average comment length decreases over any fixed period of time, but comment length in each cohort of users steadily increases during the same period after an abrupt initial drop, an example of Simpson\'s Paradox. Dividing cohorts into sub-cohorts based on the survival time in the community provides further insights; in particular, longer-lived users start at a higher activity level and make more and shorter comments than those who leave earlier. These findings both give more insight into user evolution in Reddit in particular, and raise a number of interesting questions around studying online behavior going forward.Comunidades online proporcionam um ambiente fértil para análise do comportamento de indivíduos e processos sociais. Por exemplo, ao modelarmos interações sociais online, é importante compreendemos quando indivíduos estão reagindo a outros indivíduos. Além disso, pessoas e comunidades mudam com o passar do tempo, e levar em consideração sua evolução temporal nos leva a resultados mais precisos. Entretanto, em muitos casos, o comportamento dos usuários pode ser perdido: suas reações ao conteúdo ao qual são expostos não são capturadas por indicadores explícitos (likes no Facebook, replies no Twitter). Agregações temporais de dados pouco criteriosas podem ocultar, enviesar ou até levar a conclusões equivocadas sobre como usuários evoluem. Apresentamos uma nova abordagem para o problema de detectar respostas não-explicitas que utiliza similaridade tf-idf entre tweets de um usuário e tweets recentes que este usuário recebeu de quem segue. Com base em dados de postagens de um mês para 449 redes egocêntricas do Twitter, este método evidencia que temos um volume de ao menos 11% de reações não capturadas pelos mecanismos explicitos de reply e retweet. Além disso, essas reações não capturadas não estão uniformemente distribuídas entre os usuários: alguns usuários que criam replies e retweets sem utilizar os mecanismos formais da interface são muito mais responsivos a quem eles seguem do que aparentam. Isso sugere que detectar respostas não-explicitas é importante para mitigar viéses e construir modelos mais precisos a fim de estudar interações sociais e difusão de informação. Abordamos o problema de evolução de usuários no Reddit com base em dados entre o período de 2007 a 2014. Utilizando métodos simples de diferenciação temporal dos usuários -- cohorts anuais -- encontramos amplas diferenças entre o comportamento, que incluem criação de comentários, métricas de esforço e sobrevivência. Desconsiderar a evolução temporal pode levar a equívocos a respeito de fenômenos importantes. Por exemplo, o tamanho médio dos comentários na rede decresce ao longo de qualquer intervalo de tempo, mas este tamanho é crescente em cada uma das cohorts de usuários no mesmo período, salvo de uma queda inicial. Esta é uma observação do Paradoxo de Simpson. Dividir as cohorts de usuários em sub-cohorts baseadas em anos de sobrevivência na rede nos fornece uma perspectiva melhor; usuários que sobrevivem por mais tempo apresentam um maior nível de atividade inicial, com comentários mais curtos do que aqueles que sobrevivem menos. Com isto, compreendemos melhor como usuários evoluem no Reddit e levantamos uma série de questões a respeito de futuros desdobramentos do estudo de comportamento online.

Full textAbstract:
Writing in 1970 of Robert Simpson's music, Hugh Ottaway said, "Simpson's ideal is a Beethovenian dynamism and comprehensiveness, an active unity in which powerful forces are embraced and subdued: a sense of re-engagement with the humanist mainstream, clear-headed and unsentimental is implicit in everything he writes." Simpson's dogged musical integrity has resulted in a high degree of consistency and homogeneity in his compositional development. But in the thirty-seven years that he has been writing symphonies his approach to the ideals mentioned by Ottaway has deepened in strength and subtlety and his achievement has steadily increased in breadth and power. This dissertation traces his development as a symphonist. The discussion of Symphonies 1-3 demonstrates how their dynamic approach to tonality is expressed in terms of sustained keyconflict. Particularly close attention is given to the Third Symphony - probably the finest of the three. From the early 1970s onwards a change is detectable in the way In which Simpson organises his music. Emphasis upon keyconflict gives way to a concern with the generative powers of certain intervals and the analyses of the symphonies from No.4 onwards reflect the increasing concentration with which Simpson derives his material from a small group of intervals. The analytical approach to each work is essentially a narrative one in keeping with the organic manner in which Simpson's music grows. The dissertation ends with a brief commentary upon Symphony No.10 which, at the time of writing has only just been completed and remains unperformed.

Buster Simpson is a Seattle-based artist who creates work that revolves around environmental issues in public settings. His ecological messages reach local communities through works that are often funded by percent-for-art programs, non-profit organizations such as schools and museums, and other public institutions. By using recycled materials or by purifying water, Simpson's public art draws attention to the local environment, and his works provide examples of ways that people can care for their local surroundings. My thesis sheds light on Simpson's public and environmental work, detailing the creative manner in which he incorporates history, education, and artistic complexity into his sculptures. Through their aesthetics and their real-world utility, Simpson's works nurture neighborhoods.

I discuss the implications of Simpson’s paradox for epistemology and decision theory. In Chapter One I outline the paradox, focussing on its identification, nature, and type of reasoning that it involves. In Chapter Two I discuss the view that Simpson’s paradox is resolved by means of graph-based causal analysis. In Chapter Three I outline a major problem (hitherto unacknowledged) that Simpson’s paradox poses for the probabilistic Bayesian theory of evidence. I make a proposal to split the probabilistic concept of evidence into a causal and a news-value kind of evidence, tracking causal probabilities under an intervention, and tracking overall probabilistic relevance under conditioning. In Chapters Four and Five I apply the proposal to two further areas of concern. In Chapter Four I defend a unified causal view of Simpson’s paradox. In Chapter Five I defuse a problem about counterfactual force of evidence. In Chapters Six and Seven I discuss Simpson’s paradox and the sure thing principle in decision theory.

Full textAbstract:
Robert Simpson's Third Symphony (1961-2) marks a transition between the two stages into which the composer's oeuvre is generally divided (as one of his last works based upon major/minor keys, before his conscious composition with intervals). It is unusual within Simpson's output in three respects: it incorporates models, from Beethoven; its genesis can be traced in two manuscript autograph scores and two published versions; and the autograph scores preserve unique revisions by the composer. The issues that arise in consequence are considered in the context of general influences upon the symphony, a description of the manuscripts and published scores, and remarks about manuscript interpretation. From an analysis of the modelling of the first movement upon the first movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, a reconstruction is offered of music lost from the earliest stage of composition. This reconstruction permits the elaboration of a hypothesis with respect to an atypical feature of Simpson's style: Simpson's revisions were most far-reaching where Beethoven's influence had initially been strongest. Further Beethovenian influences are identified, with their bearing on the manner in which Simpson revised and utilized the typical features of his style which are fundamental to the Third Symphony's symphonic structure: rhythm and pace, tonality and harmony. The influence of these revisions upon Simpson's Fourth and Fifth Symphonies is also investigated. With reference to the Beethoven influences identified earlier, parallels are drawn between developments in Simpson's style, and Beethoven's between his 'second' and 'third' periods. 'Suggestion' (a process used by Simpson, of statement 'by implication', related to compositional compression in the revisions) is discussed and considered as a metaphor for the development of Simpson's style as Beethoven's influence upon him weakened. A brief comparison of Simpson's Third Symphony with his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies is also included.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est consacrée à deux variantes arithmétiques de la correspondance de Simpson. Dans la première partie, on compare la correspondance de Simpson p-adique à un analogue p-adique de la correspondance de Narasimhan et Seshadri pour les courbes sur les corps p-adiques dû à Deninger et Werner. Narasimhan et Seshadri ont établi une correspondance entre les fibrés vectoriels stables de degré zéro et les représentations unitaires du groupe fondamental topologique pour une courbe complexe propre et lisse. Par transport parallèle, Deninger et Werner ont associé fonctoriellement à chaque fibré vectoriel sur une courbe p-adique dont la réduction est fortement semi-stable de degré 0 une représentation p-adique du groupe fondamental de la courbe. Ils se sont posés quelques questions: si leur foncteur est pleinement fidèle ; si la cohomologie des systèmes locaux fournis par leur foncteur admet une filtration de Hodge-Tate ; et si leur construction est compatible avec la correspondance de Simpson p-adique développée par Faltings. On répond positivement à ces questions. La seconde partie est consacrée à la construction d'un relèvement de la transformée de Cartier d'Ogus-Vologodsky modulo pⁿ. Soient W l'anneau des vecteurs de Witt d'un corps parfait de caractéristique p>0, X un schéma formel lisse sur W, X' le changement de base de X par l'endomorphisme de Frobenius de W, X'_2 la réduction modulo p² de X' et Y la fibre spéciale de X. On relève la transformée de Cartier d'Ogus-Vologodsky relative à X'_2. Plus précisément, on construit un foncteur de la catégorie des O_{X'}-modules de pⁿ-torsion à p-connexion intégrable dans la catégorie des O_X-modules de pⁿ-torsion à connexion intégrable, chacune étant soumise à des conditions de nilpotence appropriées. S'il existe un relèvement F: X -> X' du morphisme de Frobenius relatif de Y, notre foncteur est compatible avec le foncteur de Shiho induit par F. Comme application de la transformée de Cartier modulo pⁿ, on donne une nouvelle interprétation des modules de Fontaine relatifs introduits par Faltings et du calcul de leur cohomologieThis thesis is devoted to two arithmetic variants of Simpson's correspondence. In the first part, I compare the p-adic Simpson correspondence with a p-adic analogue of the Narasimhan-Seshadri's correspondence for curves over p-adic fields due to Deninger and Werner. Narasimhan and Seshadri established a correspondence between stable bundles of degree zero and unitary representations of the topological fundamental group for a complex smooth proper curve. Using parallel transport, Deninger and Werner associated functorially to every vector bundle on a p-adic curve whose reduction is strongly semi-stable of degree 0 a p-adic representation of the fundamental group of the curve. They asked several questions: whether their functor is fully faithful; whether the cohomology of the local systems produced by this functor admits a Hodge-Tate filtration; and whether their construction is compatible with the p-adic Simpson correspondence developed by Faltings. We answer positively these questions. The second part is devoted to the construction of a lifting of the Cartier transform of Ogus-Vologodsky modulo pⁿ. Let W be the ring of the Witt vectors of a perfect field of characteristic p, X a smooth formal scheme over W, X' the base change of X by the Frobenius morphism of W, X'_2 the reduction modulo p² of X' and Y the special fiber of X. We lift the Cartier transform of Ogus-Vologodsky relative to X'_2 modulo pⁿ. More precisely, we construct a functor from the category of pⁿ-torsion O_{X'}-modules with integrable p-connection to the category of pⁿ-torsion O_X-modules with integrable connection, each subject to a suitable nilpotence condition. Our construction is based on Oyama's reformulation of the Cartier transform of Ogus-Vologodsky in characteristic p. If there exists a lifting F: X -> X' of the relative Frobenius morphism of Y, our functor is compatible with a functor constructed by Shiho from F. As an application, we give a new interpretation of relative Fontaine modules introduced by Faltings and of the computation of their cohomology

Diversity as a concept was first introduced by Williams in Fisher et al. (1943). Later, Good (1953, 1982) proposed a generalized index that included as special cases both Shannon’s and Simpson’s indices. Baczkowski et al. (1997, 1998) generalized the proposed generalization deriving the first four moments and then obtaining a distribution prior to the general index for Good (BACZKOWSKI et al., 2000). Therefore, is proposed a new generalization that, in addition to the indices the Shannon and Simpson as special cases, includes more general indices such as the unfamiliar (PATIL & TAILIIE, 1982). The moments of h(a,b,d) presented here extend the results presented in Baczkowski et al. and Bowman et al. for a class of diversity indices of more general and it is concluded then that while the distribution of index Shannon can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution, if any difference between abundance of species, to more general values of (a,b,d), it is suggested a distribution of type I as the most appropriated. The results are also consistent with those presented for real populations, as in Heip & Engels (1974), especially when it examines the index of Shannon.
A diversidade como um conceito foi inicialmente introduzida por Williams em Fisher et al. (1943). Mais tarde, Good (1953, 1982) propôs um índice generalizado que incluía como casos especiais os índices de Shannon e o de Simpson. Baczkowski et al. (1997, 1998) propuseram generalizar essa generalização derivando os quatro primeiros momentos e obtendo assim uma distribuição para o índice antes generalizado por Good (BACZKOWSKI et al., 2000). Sendo assim, apresenta-se uma nova generalização que, além de ter os índices de Shannon e Simpson como casos especiais, engloba índices mais gerais como o não familiar (PATIL & TAILIIE, 1982). Os momentos de h(a,b,d) aqui apresentados estendem os resultados apresentados em Baczkowski et al. e Bowman et al. para uma classe de índices de diversidade mais geral, concluindo-se então que enquanto a distribuição do índice de Shannon pode ser aproximado por uma distribuição Gaussiana, caso haja diferença entre abundância de espécies, para valores mais gerais de (a,b,d), sugere-se uma distribuição do tipo I como sendo a mais apropriada. Os resultados obtidos são tão consistentes quanto os de trabalhos que lidam com populações reais como em Heip & Engels (1974), principalmente quando examina-se o índice de Shannon.

Full textAbstract:
A função da eritrofagocitose observada após o extravasamento de sangue na interface materno-fetal é indefinida em várias espécies, incluindo o búfalo. Na ovelha, este processo foi muito estudado, e ocorre na zona arcada do placentônio (topos dos septos maternos e base dos vilos fetais), região onde o processo é realizado pelo trofoblasto. É possível que o ferro seja transferido para o feto mediante a eritrofagocitose trofoblástica nesta área hemófaga da placenta e nas glândulas endometriais. Para este estudo foram utilizadas placentas de búfalas entre 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 e 10 meses de prenhez, fixadas por perfusão com solução aquosa de formaldeído a 10% e paraformaldeído a 4%, para microscopia de luz, e glutaraldeído a 2,5%, para microscopia eletrônica de transmissão, processadas e coradas para microscopia de luz (HE, azul de Toluidina, tricromo de Gomori, Hematoxilina-floxina, Azul de metileno - fucsina básica), histoquímica (reação de Perls, PAS e fosfatase ácida) além de microscopia eletrônica de transmissão. A metodologia utilizada permitiu-nos observar que as áreas hemófagas estavam presentes em determinadas regiões do placentônio, nas quais se identificavam áreas hemorrágicas entre o epitélio uterino e o trofoblástico, nas placentas de 4 a 10 meses de prenhez. Eritrócitos foram encontrados nas células trofoblásticas, elucidando, deste modo, a eritrofagocitose. A reação de PAS foi positiva, marcando substância mucóide, principalmente na base dos vilos fetais, células trofoblásticas binucleadas e nas glândulas endometriais da região interplacentomal. A reação de Perls foi negativa nos placentônios e positiva nas glândulas endometriais. A reação de fosfatase ácida foi positiva tanto nos placentônios, quanto na região interplacentomal. A ultraestrutura da região das áreas hemófagas revelou eritrócitos ingeridos dentro das células trofoblásticas epiteliais em diferentes fases de digestão e eletrondensidades, várias vesículas endocíticas, cavéola, muitas gotículas lipídicas, retículo endoplasmático rugoso bem desenvolvido e a presença de grande quantidade de mitocôndrias. O epitélio das glândulas endometriais da região interplacentomal é do tipo colunar com a presença de microvilos em seu ápice, e núcleos basais.The function of erytrophagocytosis observed after blood extravasation in the maternal-fetal interface is indefinite various species, including the water buffalo. In ewe, this process had been hardly studied and it occurs in the placentome arcade zone (top of maternal septa), region where the process is performed by the trophoblast. It is possible that iron is being transferred to the fetus through the trophoblastic erytrophagocytosis in the hemophagous areas of the placenta and in the endometrial glands. In our research we have been using placentomes of buffaloes between 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 and 10 months of pregnancy, fixed by perfusion with 10% formaldehyde aqueous solution, 4% paraformoldehyde for light microscopy and 2,5% glutaraldehyde for transmission electron microscopy, processed and stained for light microscopy (HE, Toluidine blue, Gomori trichrome, hematoxilin - floxin, methilen blue ? basic fucsin), histochemistry (Perls, PAS and acid phosfatase reaction) and transmission electron microscopy. The methodology used allowed us to observe that the haemophagous areas were present in determined regions of the placentome, in which there were showing haemorragic areas between the trophoblastic and uterine epithelium, in 4-10 months pregnant placentae. Erythrocytes had been found inside trophoblastic cells, thus contributing to explain the erytrophagocytosis. The PAS reaction was positive, staining mucoid substance, mainly in the basis of the fetal villi, trophoblastic binucleate cells and in an endometrial glands in the interplacentomal region. The Perls reaction was negative in the placenton as well as in the endometrial glands. The acid phosphatase reaction was positive in placenton as well as in the interplacentomal region. The ultrastructure of the haemophagous areas revealed ingested erythrocytes inside the epithelial cells of trophoblast in different phases of digestion and electrondensities, various endocitic vesicles, caveolae, many lipid droplets, well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum and large number of mitochondrias. The endometrial glands epithelium of interplacentomal region is columnar type with microvilli and basal nuclei.

Thesis, McGill University, 1996. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=24020.
Full textAbstract:
A static chamber technique was used to measure methane emissions in July and August, 1995 from peatland sites in the Fort Simpson area, Northwest Territories, at the southern fringe of the discontinuous permafrost zone. Sites were classified ecologically and geomorphologically, and water table and temperature regimes were monitored.Methane emissions ranged from $-$3.3 to 1144.2 mg/m$ sp2 cdot$d, from raised frozen sites to pond sites, respectively, similar to emissions recorded from other boreal regions. Water table was the strongest predictor of CH$ sb4$ emission. Although peat temperature is significantly correlated to methane flux, it did not significantly improve the flux-water table relationship. Methane storage within the saturated portion of the peat profile ranged from 0.2 to 4.2 g/m$ sp2$ over depths ranging from 30 to 76 cm, and did not play a large role in surficial emissions. The zone immediately above and below the water table appears to regulate methane diffusion to the surface. Residence times (storage/flux) ranged from 12 to 30 days in poor fens, and from 6 to 5789 days in fens.
Ranges and mean fluxes of methane were determined according to landform and water table position. Based on the geomorphology of the area, overall flux determined for the Fort Simpson area, map NTS 95H, NW1/4, is estimated to be 19 mg/m$ sp2 cdot$d.

Full textAbstract:
Rates of carbon and peat accumulation were studied in a series of peat landforms within discontinuously frozen peatlands near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories. An extended distribution of the White River volcanic ash layer was used as a chronostratigraphic horizon to ensure a consistent time span of peat deposition among peat cores and to allow a large core sample size without the expense of radiocarbon dating. Apparent recent carbon accumulation rates measured over the past 1200 years were not significantly different among rich fen, peat plateau, and collapse fen (means 13--14 g C M-2 yr-1). Poor fen and bog mean accumulation rates were 20--22 g C M-2 yr -1 and were not significantly different from each other. Microtopography and water table position appear to be important controls on both carbon and vertical peat accumulation rates. A regional survey incorporating measurements from other parts of the southwestern Northwest Territories and the southeastern Yukon shows rates similar to those near Fort Simpson.The aggradation of permafrost results in 50 and 65% decreases in carbon and vertical peat accumulation rates, respectively. Carbon and peat accumulation continue to decrease significantly with both increasing permafrost maturity and the number of ground fires. The internal degradation of permafrost results in nearly a doubling in carbon accumulation rates, yet permafrost degradation at the margins of a peat plateau results in carbon accumulation rates similar to the peat plateau.
Clymo's (1984) carbon accumulation model was applied to cores from each landform in addition to a core spanning the entire developmental history of the peatland. Results indicate that true carbon accumulation and sequestration efficiency rates in ombrotrophic peatlands are lower in the upper Mackenzie Valley than for other boreal regions, primarily owing to high decomposition rates. The cessation of carbon accumulation is being approached. The model also serves to highlight the dangers of using apparent and true carbon accumulation rates interchangably.
Apparent and true carbon accumulation rates are significantly lower than published rates from other parts of northern Canada, Finland, and the Former Soviet Union. Low and variable summer precipitation in the region may be a significant factor through increased aerobic decomposition and/or decreased plant production caused by moisture stress.
