Full textAbstract:
his dissertation investigates kanshi poems written by three Japanese women: Ema Saiko (1787-1861), Hara Saihin (1798-1859), and Takahashi Gyokusho (1802-1868). These three women from the late Edo period cultivated excellent literacy in classical Chinese and established their reputations as scholars and poets. However, their works in Chinese have been underestimated in modern scholarship. The goal of my dissertation is to re-situate these highly literary women more accurately in the discourse of "Japanese literature," while challenging established ideas about "women's literature" and "Edo literature." The introductory chapter argues against the dismissal of Edo-period women kanshi writers. Firstly, it examines the general underestimation of women writers from the Edo period and the dismissal of works written in Chinese from the category of "Japanese literature." Secondly, it investigates the late Edo-period cultural and ideological background, which supported the emergence of women kanshi writers. The next three chapters explore works of each poet. Saihin was a vigorous scholar and poet from Kyushu. She lived in Edo for twenty years, determined to make herself a successful Confucian scholar. I illuminate her complex gender identification, as presented in her poems, while describing her astounding aspirations. Ema Saiko, a scholar-painter and poet, is known for her feminine style in the genre of kanshi. While I examine her conscious use of "feminine expressions," I also present the diversity of her poetic subjects. Takahashi Gyokusho from Sendai established herself as an educator and poet in Edo. She often hosted fund-raising literary parties, and published two anthologies during her lifetime. A comparison of Gyokusho and Saihin, two female scholars who lived in Edo, elucidates how affiliations with different poetic societies affected their careers and poetry. The relative prominence of women kanshi writers in the late Edo period becomes clear through this study. The kanshi writers were, indeed, precursors of early modern Japanese women educators and writers. This dissertation bridges the literary effort by women of the Edo and Meiji periods, while contributing to a revision of the history of women's literature in Japan and correcting a distorted image of the literary environment for women of the Edo period.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
At the beginning of the Edo period (1600-1868 CE) the Japanese Tokugawa shōgunate enforced the famous closed country policy. During the period of isolation that would ensue until the Meiji Restoration, mathematics flourished like never before. The new tradition that arose was rich and diverse, with mathematics manifesting itself through different practitioners in many different ways. And, for the first time in Japanese history, mathematics began to diverge from Chinese practice, developing a uniquely Japanese identity.
Because of this, we therefore can look to Edo mathematics with the expectation that it can especially clearly illustrate cultural variability in the practice of mathematics if it is the case that there exists such.
The present thesis examines whether cultural-contextual factors from within the isolated Edo environment impacted individual practitioners of mathematics to result in the variation and uniqueness that appeared. Also, it highlights and addresses what the consequences might be for historians, philosophers, and mathematicians if such an influence did occur.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Japanese anime being an important part of modern and contemporary popular visual culture, its aesthetic merits, its roots in Japanese visual arts as well as its rich symbology derived from Japanese folkloristic, literary and religious themes are worth investigating. This research aims to track the visual links between Edo and Meiji period monster art (y??kai-ga) paintings and modern day anime by concentrating on the works of Edo and Meiji period painters and the post-war period animation and manga series Gegegeno Kitaro, created by Mizuki Shigeru. Some of the Japanese origins of anime and manga imagery can be traced back to the early 12th century Ch??j?? Giga animal scrolls, where comic art and narrative pictures first appear. However, more recent sources are found in woodblock prints of the late Edo period. These prints are the forerunners of manga in that dialogues appear with the image, generally no anatomical details are given nor are they in perspective, but often a mood is expressed in a cartoon-like manner. The visual rendering of y??kai (monsters) is a Japanese cultural phenomenon: y??kai paintings originate in the Muromachi period, and take up part of the visual arts of that era. The distinct monster (y??kai) imagery emerging in the late Edo to early Meiji periods is the focus of this research. Investigating the Gegegeno Kitaro series, the study pinpoints the visual roots of the animation characters in the context of y??kai folklore and Edo and Meiji period monster painting traditions. Being a very popular series consisting of numerous episodes broadcast from the 1960s to the present time, by analyzing the changing images related to the representation of monsters in the series the study documents the changes in the perception of monsters in this time period, while it reflects on the importance of Mizuki??s work in keeping visual traditions alive and educating new audiences about folklore by recasting y??kai imagery in modern day settings in an innovative way. Additionally, by analyzing and comparing character, set, costume and mask design, plot and storyline of y??kai-themed films, the study attempts to shed light on the roles the representations of y??kai have been assigned in post-war Japanese cinema.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of this qualifying paper is an Edo Period Nō theater chōken. Upon receipt, this choken was in very poor condition. There were six types of damage that needed treatment.
First, there was extensive warp breakage along the full length of the shoulders and sleeve bottoms and one area of full loss to the base fabric, exposing wefts. Second, a couched metallic thread was used as an outline to five vase motifs and as patterning for four butterflies. All used ‘urushi,’ better known as Japanese lacquer, for an adhesive binding a metal foil its paper substrate. This couched thread had either loss to the metallic surface, to the combined metallic and lacquer surface, or was hanging, and at times twisted back upon itself. Third, there was a cut and finely woven, metallic coated paper used for some of the leaf and insect wing motifs that was tattered, unaligned, had loss to its metallic surface, and was not secure to the base fabric. Fourth, there were areas of weft breakage exposing warps. Fifth, the six exposed selvages that run the full length of the two sleeves and one body panel all needed to be strengthened. Sixth, there was one 3 by 4 inch area in the lower back of the body panel which had complete fabric loss.
Untreated areas were: areas of warp distortion in the front body panel; a few loose embroidery threads throughout the five floral/vase motifs; and a small amount of loss due to insect infestation.
Research was done and methods developed in order to find treatment techniques for the lacquer based metallic thread, the cut and woven paper motifs, and the extensive warp breakage extending along the shoulders and sleeve bottoms.
Due to the difficulty of finding English equivalents to Japanese textile terminology, I included a Comparative Glossary that I hope will be useful to other researchers in this field.
This project proved to be challenging, but in the end, very rewarding with a new body of knowledge concerning materials used in this type of cultural object.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is mainly concerned with uncovering the meanings and associations embedded in the field of popular culture production in Japanese and European sociocultural contexts, using a comparative approach to unearth the effects, materials, and paradigms of the technological and scientific discourses during the Scientific Revolution. Linking the fields of the anthropology of technology and science, popular culture, and material culture studies, the thesis offers a historical overview of the development of machines and visual technologies in the Edo period, arguing that visuality is the key to delayering the cultural history of technology and science in Japanese popular culture, animation in particular. The objective of this work, therefore, is to look at the assemblage of the scientific, technological, and philosophical discourses to unveil the cultural processes between optical regimes, scientific practices, and popular culture. In its emphasis on the interconnectedness of visual technologies and the field of popular culture production, the thesis asserts that scientific development, particularly under the influence of the Scientific Revolution and Japanese Rangaku scholarship, is closely tied with the function of entertainment in Japanese society. With the understanding of technology as a total social phenomenon that interlocks the material and the symbolic in a complex network, which produces meanings and associations, the thesis further stresses the view that intellectual history cannot be separated from material culture studies; it also grapples with a number of existing scholarships on the history of science, particularly their inattentiveness to cultural histories in their historical surveys of scientific development. Finally, this work closely examines Oshii Mamoru's Ghost in the Shell and its sequels and the anime TV series Psycho-Pass to explore the tangled responses to the ideologies of the Euro-American mode of modernity.

Full textAbstract:
La majorité des études sur le thé au Japon se consacre à la cérémonie du thé. Dans cette étude, nous nous proposons au contraire d’analyser l’histoire du thé au Japon du strict point de vue des techniques de culture et de fabrication du thé à l’époque Edo (1600-1868). Dans un premier temps, l’étude se concentre sur l’histoire du thé au Japon depuis son apparition au VIIIe siècle jusqu’au milieu du XIXe siècle. Cette partie abordera l’ensemble du développement de la filière du thé en s’attachant aux points suivants : l’évolution de la consommation du thé sur l’archipel, les différentes techniques de fabrication utilisées et enfin la mise en place des circuits économiques nécessaires au commerce intérieur du thé. Cette étude tentera de comprendre le passage d’une consommation par les élites à une consommation par l’ensemble de la population, ainsi que les implications de cette évolution. Dans un second temps, ce travail se focalisera sur l’étude des techniques de culture et de fabrication du thé à l’époque Edo. De multiples sources historiques sont examinées pour cela : comptes rendus de voyages de savants occidentaux, documents iconographiques divers, mais ce travail s’attache plus spécifiquement à l’analyse des nombreux traités agricoles de l’époque Edo. Ainsi, la description détaillée des différents procédés de fabrication de cette époque permet de comprendre les liens qu’il peut exister entre les différentes techniques, et de réfléchir aux modalités de création et d’amélioration des thés japonaisMost studies related to Japan’s tea are about the tea ceremony. On the contrary, in this study we are proposing to analyze the history of tea in Japan from the strict point of view of tea culture and manufacture’s techniques in the Edo period (1600-1868). First of all, the study focuses on the history of Japan’s tea from its emergence in the 8th century, up until the mid-19th century. This part will deal with the whole development of the tea sector, focusing on the following points: the evolution of tea consumption on the archipelago, the different manufacturing techniques used and finally the implementation of the economic systems, necessary to the domestic trade. This study is trying to understand the transition from the consumption by the elites only, to the consumption by the entire population, as well as the implications of this evolution. Finally, this study will focus on the study of tea’s culture and manufacture techniques during the Edo period. To do so, we will look at many historical sources: reports and diaries of Western travelers, various iconographic documents, but this thesis will mainly be focusing on the analysis of many agricultural treaties during the Edo period. Therefore, this detailed description of the various manufacturing processes of this period makes it possible to understand the existing links between the different techniques, and to think about the methods of creation and improvement of Japanese teas

Full textAbstract:
Children’s literature flourished in Edo-period Japan, as this dissertation shows through a survey of eighteenth-century woodblock-printed picturebooks for children that feature children in prominent roles. Addressing a persisting neglect of non-Western texts in the study of children’s literature and childhood per se, the dissertation challenges prevailing historical understandings of the origins of children’s literature and conceptions of childhood as a distinct phase of life. The explosive growth of print culture in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Japan not only raised expectations for adult literacy but also encouraged the spread of basic education for children and the publication of books for the young. The limited prior scholarship on Edo-period Japanese children’s books tends to dismiss them as a few isolated exceptions or as limited to moralistic primers and records of oral tradition. This dissertation reveals a long-lasting, influential, and varied body of children’s literature that combines didactic value with entertainment. Eighteenth-century picturebooks drew on literary and religious traditions as well as popular culture, while tailoring their messages to the interests and limitations of child readers. Organized in two parts, the dissertation includes two analytical chapters followed by five annotated translations of picturebooks (kōzeibyōshi and early kusazōshi). Among the illustrators that can be identified are ukiyoe artists like Torii Kiyomitsu (1735-1785). The first chapter analyzes the picturebook as a form of children’s literature that can be considered in terms analogous to those used of children’s literature in the West, and it provides evidence that these picturebooks were recognized by Japanese of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries as uniquely suited to child readers. The second chapter addresses the ways in which woodblock-printed children’s literature was commercialized and canonized from the mid-eighteenth century through the latter years of the Edo period, and it shows that picturebooks became source material for new forms of children’s culture during that time. The translated picturebooks, from both the city of Edo and the Kamigata region, include a sample of eighteenth-century views of the child: developing fetus, energetic grandchild, talented student, unruly schoolboy, obedient helper at home, young bride-to-be, and deceased child under the care of the Bodhisattva Jizō.East Asian Languages and Civilizations

Full textAbstract:
Seen from abroad, Tokyo appears as a huge, vibrant metropolis where 21st-century Japan meets the traditional side of the country. Tokyo´s skyline is a diverse jumble of traditional houses and shrines, and modern architecture from skyscrapers of glass to 1970´s living capsules. Since the beginning, Tokyo has had great prerequisites for creating a city with amazing urban environment. Water was the first reason for people to settle down in Tokyo Bay. During Edo period (1603 – 1867), Tokyo was always described as a picturesque city with well-planned hydrology and a harmonic relationship with nature. With its canals full of water, it was a city comparable to Venice. The distribution and exchange relied almost entirely on water transport. With the expansion of the city, the water system had to be upgraded, which led to creating a complex network of waterways. Unlike in Western countries, where the economic, social and cultural life of the city developed around rather formal places as plazas and squares, in Japan, the lifeblood of the city developed in close connection with the water and nature. These places, also known as “meisho” (名所, lit. “famous places”) used to be linear open structures such as streets, river shores and bridges. During the transformation of Tokyo into a modern capital, the city cut many ties with the past. The unused canals suddenly became redundant and started belonging to the “wrong” side of the city. By the 1980s, many of the waterways were so polluted that the government began filling them up or covering them with elevated highways in preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The modernization and its transformation also meant that most of the network of “meisho” and greenery have disappeared. “From dameisho to meisho” is inspired by series of woodblock prints “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (名所江戸百景, Meisho Edo Hyakkei) completed by the Japanese artist Hiroshige Ando (1797–1858), depicting a matrix of famous public spaces in Tokyo. My project examines the possibilities of recasting “meisho”, a spatial representation in Japanese culture, into a new, modern context via editing different layers of the city and its fabric. It explores linear, thread-like spaces such as Edo waterways, its transformations roads, as well as recently built elevated highways in order to search for contaminations and new collaborations, unexpected conditions and create new, green urban stitches. As one of the tackling tools, the project also looks at demographic trends shaping Japan and benefits from aging society and shrinking Japanese population. Last but not least I investigate ways of graphical reinterpretation of the series of woodblock prints using Tokyo and its new “meisho” spaces as a rolemodel.

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina DentáriaIntrodução: Este trabalho teve como objetivo a realização de uma revisão de literatura sobre a doença endo-perio. Nesta medida, foram exploradas as relações biológicas entre a polpa e o periodonto, nomeadamente as vias de comunicação existentes, os fatores que contribuem para o seu aparecimento, persistência e/ou agravamento, tendo sido sublinhados os factores etiológicos e a influência da patologia pulpar no periodonto e viceversa. Foram, também, referidas as principais classificações das lesões endo-perio e a problemática do diagnóstico, tratamento e prognóstico dos dentes envolvidos. Materiais e métodos: Esta revisão foi realizada com o limite temporal de 1975 a 2014, recorrendo ao motor de busca Google e às bases de dados Medline/ PubMed, B-on, Science direct, utilizando as seguintes palavras-chave: endo-perio lesions, classification of endo-perio lesion, microbiology, pathways of communication, diagnosis in endoperio lesions, treatment of endo-perio lesions. Após a leitura dos resumos, a seleção dos artigos foi efectuada de acordo com a especificidade do tema e com os limites temporais acima referidos. Foram, ainda, consultados livros na área de Endodontia na biblioteca da FCS-UFP. Os critérios de exclusão dos artigos foram os artigos pagos e aos quais não se obteve resposta por parte dos seus autores e os que não abordassem directamente o tema em estudo. Resultados: Na literatura consultada, a principal causa apontada para as lesões é de origem microbiana: a microbiologia de lesões endo-perio combinadas, dominada por anaeróbios facultativos e/ou obrigatórios, reflete a microbiota da lesão endodôntica e periodontal em separado e permite infeção cruzada entre o canal radicular e a bolsa periodontal. Os tratamentos endodônticos inadequados, as infiltrações coronais, o atraso da colocação da restauração definitiva, as características anátomo-morfológicas do sistema de canais radiculares, as obturações anteriores, as técnicas de instrumentação e de obturação e a escolha dos materiais, são factores amplamente referidos na literatura que influenciam as falhas do tratamento. Enquanto a polpa mantém funções vitais, mesmo com infeção, a probabilidade desta causar problemas no periodonto é baixa; pelo contrário, a necrose pulpar já é, frequentemente, associada a inflamação do tecido periodontal. Conclusões: Como principal conclusão, deve ser salientado o facto da polpa e do periodonto se constituírem como uma unidade biológica contínua, com múltiplas vias de comunicação, pelo que as doenças pulpares e as doenças periodontais podem influenciarse mutuamente. Pode, igualmente, ser realçado que as doenças endodôntica, periodontal e endodôntica- -periodontal podem apresentar os mesmos sintomas, aspectos radiográficos e sinais clínicos muito semelhantes, sendo que o tratamento e o prognóstico dependem, em primeiro lugar, do diagnóstico da doença endodôntica e/ou periodontal específica, pelo que os principais fatores a considerar na tomada de decisão do tratamento devem ser a vitalidade pulpar e também o tipo e extensão da doença periodontal. A classificação mais utilizada pela maioria dos autores e nos livros da área é a de Simon et al. 1972, que se baseia nos fatores etiológicos e descreve o desenvolvimento deste tipo de lesões; no entanto, os seus fatores etiológicos e os seus padrões patológicos são muito diversos, facto que, ainda, não permitiu o aparecimento de uma classificação totalmente satisfatória. Introduction: This study aimed to conduct a literature review regarding the perio-endo disease. To this extent, the biological relationship between the pulp and the periodontium were explored, including the existing means of communication, the factors that contribute to its onset, persistence and / or worsening, and highlighting the etiological factors and the influence of pulp pathology in the periodontium and vice versa. The main classifications of endo-perio lesions were presented along with the problem of diagnosing, treating and the prognosis of teeth involved. Materials and Methods: This review was performed with the time limit of 1975 to 2014, using the search engine Google and several databases such as Medline / PubMed, B-on, ScienceDirect using the following keywords: endo-perio lesions, classification of endoperio lesion, microbiology, pathways of communication, diagnosis in endo-perio lesions, treatment of endo-perio lesions. After reading the abstracts, the selection of articles was performed according to the specificity of the topic and the time limits mentioned above. Books in the field of endodontics were also consulted in the FCSUFP library. Excluding criteria was used on articles that needed purchase and to which there was no response on the part of their authors and on the ones that didn’t directly address the topic under study. Results: In this review, the main reason given for the lesions is of microbial origin: the microbiology of combined endo-perio lesions that are dominated by facultative and / or strict anaerobes, reflects the microbiota of endodontic and periodontal lesion separately and allows cross-infection between the root canal and the periodontal pocket. Inadequate endodontic treatment, coronal leakage, delay placing the final restoration, the anatomical and morphological characteristics of the root canal system, previous fillings, technical instrumentation and obturation, and the choice of materials, are widely referred to factors in literature that influence treatment failures. As long as the pulp retains vital functions, even when infected, the likelihood of this infection causing problems in the periodontium is low; in contrast, pulp necrosis is often associated with tissue inflammation of the periodontium. Conclusions: As the main conclusion, it should be emphasized that the pulp and periodontium are constituted as a continuous biological unit, with multiple communication paths, so the pulp diseases and periodontal diseases can have a mutual influence. It may also be noted that the endodontic, periodontal and endodontic-periodontal diseases may present the same symptoms, radiographic features and similar clinical signs, therefore the treatment and prognosis depend, firstly on the diagnosis of the specific endodontic and/or periodontal disease, and the main factors to consider in making the decision to treat should be the pulp vitality and also the type and extent of periodontal disease. The classification used by the majority of authors and books in the area is that of Simon et al. 1972, which is based on etiological factors and describes the development of such injuries; however, their etiological factors and their pathological patterns are very diverse, which makes it difficult to have a fully satisfactory classification.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the history of Christianity and conversion to it in 16th and 17th Century Japan. It argues that conversion is a complex phenomenon which happened for a variety of reasons. Furthermore, it argues that due to the political context and limitations acting upon the mission, the majority of conversions in 16th and 17th Century Japan lacked an element of epistemological change (classically understood). The first chapter explores theories of conversion suggesting that conversion in 16th and 17th Century Japan included sorts of religious change not usually encapsulated in the term conversion including adhesion, communal and forced conversion. Moreover, it argues that contextual factors are the most important factors in religious change. The second chapter explores political context contending that it was the political environment of Japan that ultimately decided whether conversion was possible. This chapter charts the evolution of the Japanese context as it became more hostile toward Christianity. In the third chapter, the context of the mission is explored. It is argued that limitations acting upon the mission shaped post-conversion faith, so that changes to practice and ritual rather than belief became the mark of a successful conversion. The fourth chapter explores methods of conversion, the factors influencing it, and post-conversion faith more directly. It argues that Christianity spread primarily through social networks, but that conversion was also influenced by economic incentive, other realworld benefits, and Christianity's perceived efficacy. Building on Chapter Three, the final chapter also seeks to illustrate that the missionaries were not successful in their attempts to spur epistemological change or instil a detailed knowledge of theology or doctrine amongst their converts.

Projeto de Pós-Graduação/Dissertação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Medicina DentáriaA inter-relação entre a doença endodontica e a doença periodontal tem gerado, ao longo do tempo, assim como nos dias de hoje, muitas dúvidas, especulações e controvérsias. Tanto a doença endodontica como a periodontal podem ser bastante difíceis de diagnosticar e, sabemos que ambos assumem a responsabilidade de mais de 50% da morbilidade e perda dentária. O objectivo deste trabalho é assim abordar os vários conceitos relacionados com as lesões endo-perio, mas fundamentalmente a sua classificação e diagnóstico. Para a elaboração deste trabalho foi utilizado o motor de busca MEDLINE/Pubmed, com as seguintes palavras-chave “diagnosis”, “endo-perio injuries”, “classification”, “treatment”, “prognosis”, “pulp” “periodonto” and “etiology”. Estas palavras foram associadas de várias formas, utilizando artigos num intervalo de tempo entre 1974 e 2014. Num dente com sintomatologia, a dor pode ser de origem periodontal e/ou pulpar. A natureza da dor é, normalmente, o primeiro indício para a determinação da etiologia do problema. A avaliação clínica e radiográfica vai ajudar a detectar, com maior certeza, a origem do problema. É comum em alguns casos a patologia pulpar causar o envolvimento periodontal e vice-versa. Isto acontece porque, desde o desenvolvimento do gérmen dentário que se formam estruturas como os túbulos dentinários, canais principais e acessórios que permitem a comunicação entre a polpa e o periodonto. Favorecendo assim, o transporte de substâncias nocivas entre ambos os complexos. Na literatura, existem várias classificações das lesões endo-perio que vão desde as simples às mais complexas, e que se baseiam na sua etiologia e prognóstico. O prognóstico é favorável quando o tratamento é adequado e de acordo com o estado da doença, podendo ser exclusivamente endodontico, periodontal ou combinado. Com a realização deste trabalho podemos concluir que as lesões endo-perio são encontradas em casos de condição dentária comprometida, o seu diagnóstico torna-se por vezes difícil de estabelecer, mas é vital a importância de fazê-lo correctamente para, consequentemente, realizar um plano de tratamento adequado. For a long time now the inter-relation between endodontic disease and periodontal disease had been raising many doubts, speculation and controversy. Either, one or the other, can be quite hard to distinguish and, as we know, both of them are responsible for over 50% of dental morbidity. That said, the main goal of this working paper is to approach the various concepts related to endo-perio injuries, but, mostly, their classification and diagnosis. The search engine MEDLINE/Pubmed was used to elaborate this working paper. The search contained the following key words: “diagnosis”, “endo-perio injuries”, “classification”, “treatment”, “prognosis”, “pulp” “periodonto” and “etiology”. These words were related in several ways, using articles between the years of 1974 and 2014. At a tooth with symptomatology, the pain can have periodontal and/or pulpar origin. The nature of the pain is, usually, the first sign to determinate the problem’s etiology. The clinical examination and radiographic will help diagnose, with more certainly, the nature of the problem. In some cases, it is common that the pulp pathology causes the periodontal envelopment and vice-versa. This happens because the dental germen’s development creates structures such as dentinal tubules, major and accessory canals that allow the communication between the pulp and the periodonto. This way, the transportation of harmful substances between both complexes is facilitated. In literature a various number of endo-perio injuries’ classifications can be found, from the simplest to the most complex, all based in its etiology and prognosis. A prognosis is favorable when the treatment suits the degree of the disease. It can be exclusively endodontic, periodontal or combined. After writing this working paper, we can conclude that the endo-perio injuries are occasionally found in cases of compromised dental conditions and it is sometimes hard to come up with the diagnosis, but do it correctly it’s crucial so that we can provide with an adequate treatment plan.

Full textAbstract:
Dans ce travail, nous nous proposons d'étudier des groupes de villages de la provinces d'Izumi durant l'époque d'Edo (1600 - 1868), afin de mettre en avant des types d'organisations sociales sortant des cadres institutionnels connus ainsi que les particularismes des localités étudiées.Ces ensembles de villages étant liés à la présence d'un sanctuaire commun (en plus des sanctuaires propres à chaque village ou hameau), nous partirons des relations établis entre ces établissements religieux et les groupes de villages qui leur sont liés, explorant le mode d’organisation des fidèles, leurs interactions avec les autorités seigneuriales ou shogunales. Nous nous intéresserons également à la structure interne du sanctuaire et les rôles des différents desservants, prêtres shintô et moine bouddhistes, notamment au travers des disputes qui les déchirent. Cela nous amènera également à nous interroger sur le rôle des organisations religieuses et tout particulièrement celui des organisations de prêtres shintô centrées sur les maisons curiales Yoshida ou Shirakawa, qui prennent leur essor durant cette époque.C’est en ce sens que nous nous pencherons sur les sanctuaires Kasuga, Hijiri, Kaminomiya et Shimonomiya, et Ôiseki. Explorant les groupes de villages qui leurs sont liés, nous nous attacherons à mettre en avant les interactions entre quatre groupes : les fidèles, le sanctuaire, les prêtres shintô et les moines bouddhistes. Cette analyse permettra de faire ressortir particularismes locaux, modes d’organisations non-institutionnels et structures internes de ces sanctuairesThis dissertation examines several groups of villages in Izumi Province during the Edo period (1600 - 1868). It seeks to elucidate the non-institutional social organizations and unique characteristics of those villages. Each of the groups of villages examined in this study were closely linked with a particular Shintô shrine. This dissertation begins by analyzing the relationship between shrines and the groups of villages with which they were linked. It will then examine the functions performed by the parishioner organizations of each shrine, as well as the relationship between parishioner organizations, on the one hand, and the local authorities and shogunate, on the other. It will also investigate each shrine’s social structure and the role of Shintô priests and Buddhists monks. This dissertation will also highlight the range of shrine-related conflicts and disputes that occurred in Izumi Province during the Edo period. Furthermore, it will examine the role that religious organizations, such as the Yoshida and Shirakawa priestly orders, played in early modern society. Specifically, this dissertation focuses on five shrines in Izumi Province: Kasuga, Hijiri, Kaminomiya, Shimonomiya, and Ôiseki. Through an examination of those five shrines, this dissertation will study the interaction between four groups: local parishioners, Shintô shrines, Shintô priests, and Buddhist monks. Such an analysis will enable us to elucidate the unique characteristics of the villages surrounding each shrine, the various non-institutional organizations that developed in those villages, and the internal social structure of each shrine

Full textAbstract:
In the present study I examine the vertical bamboo flute shakuhachi, as an example of how a tradition can be constructed. There are two main issues: the historical authenticity of the believed origins and development of the shakuhachi tradition, and how the transmission of this tradition is conducted. The first main issue is concerned with how a legendary origin, probably constructed in the late seventeenth century, was disproved in early twentieth-century studies. According to this legendary origin, the shakuhachi was connected to Chan (Zen) Buddhism in ninth-century China. It was replaced by a nowadays commonly accepted theory of an indigenous origin, found in both Japanese and English language contemporary writings. I discuss the legend, constructed by the so-called komusō monks of the Edo period (1603–1867), and suggest an alternative explanation of how they became connected to other kinds of medieval monks, so-called boro and komosō. The primary sources relating to the boro and the komosō are discussed. My analyses indicate that the twentieth-century studies created a connection to the boro and komosō as assumed devout Buddhist monks, probably for socio-political reasons. The second main issue concerns how the tradition is transmitted, and the constitutive elements of this transmission. Some Japanese studies discuss the notion of kata – fixed forms implicitly containing essential elements of the ‘tradition’ – as a special feature of Japanese arts. I investigate how transmission is conducted, and argue against the notion that the elements transmitted from teacher to student contain the essence of the tradition. I assert that the concept of fixed forms as a defining characteristic of Japanese traditional arts, should be modified to a more modest ‘character of the music’ on the level of individual transmitters. I discuss the elements that are transmitted, and investigate what it is that constitutes the ‘traditional’ aspects, if any, of this transmission.本研究は、竹でできた縦笛である尺八の歴史とその音楽の伝承の研究である。尺八に関連する研究はそのほとんどが歴史的な考察であり、そこでは尺八の 起源、楽器としての尺八、尺八音楽について議論されてきた。初期の研究は20世紀初頭に行なわれた。これらの研究においては、江戸時代（1603〜 1867）に書かれたいろいろな記述や書物によって入念に作り上げられた尺八の伝説的な起源について反証が行われている。江戸時代には、尺八は僧侶の一つ のタイプである虚無僧(こむそう)により宗教的な道具（法器）として使用されていた。虚無僧は、尺八の起源を9世紀の中国の禅僧 Pu Hua （普化）にさかのぼるものと主張していた。それに対して、1900年代に行われた尺八の歴史的な研究において、日本の研究者たちは、江戸時代以前にさかの ぼる日本固有の起源論を提示した。そして、それが暮露(ぼろ)および薦僧(こもそう)という別種の仏教僧につながるものであると述べており、それは現在広 く受け入れられている有力な説となっている。 第4章では、尺八の伝説的な起源について紹介するとともに、上記の三つのタイプの僧が江戸時代の早い時期には同様のものとして見なされるようになった経緯について考察する。 第 5章および第6章では、日本人研究者によるほとんどの研究で参照されている、暮露と薦僧に直接につながる資料の詳細な分析を行う。そこでは、これらの日本 人研究者の研究が示し、広く受け入れられている尺八の日本固有の起源論と発展の過程を分析し、それに対して反論を試みる。本論文の最も中心となる課題は、 「伝統」という概念について考察し、「伝統」が必ずしも真正の起源を基礎とするものとは限らない、ということを尺八を例として明らかにすることである。筆 者の分析において、尺八には日本固有の伝統があるという考えは、おそらく社会政治的な（socio-political）理由のもとに、1900年代に行 われた尺八の歴史に関する研究の中で作り出されたものであると論じる。 本論文中では、「伝統」の概念に関してもう一つの観点を取り上げる。それは、伝統芸能の伝承である。日本における研究では、「型」の概念、つまりその芸能 特有の特質が含まれる固定化されたフォームが日本の伝統芸能の特筆すべきものとして論じられている。筆者はその伝承がどのように行われているかを調べて考 察し、教える者から学ぶ者へ伝承される要素の中には、必ず伝統の本質が含まれるという考えに対して反論を行う。この本質主義的な観点とは対照的に、筆者が 主張するのは、伝統芸能において伝承されるのはそのような意味での「型」ではなく、それはむしろ個々の伝承者のレベルでの、より緩やかな「音楽のキャラク ター」であり、「型」はそういう意味にとらえ直されるべきだということである。本論文では、伝承される諸要素について論じ、また、この伝承における「伝統 的」な様相(アスペクト)を構成しているものが、もしあるとすれば何なのかを追究する。

Previous issue date: 2007Este trabalho investiga as manifestações identitárias na comunicação, nas comunidades online. Analisa mensagens de participantes de websites e grupos de discussão sobre obesidade e o tratamento cirúrgico que possibilita reduzir rapidamente até metade do peso excedente. Parte da hipótese que enquanto o indivíduo elimina o sobrepeso e transforma sua silhueta objeto de preconceitos, conquistando uma aparência corporal nos moldes aceitos na sociedade, adquire e manifesta novos valores e padrões identitários. O trabalho analisa manifestações comunicativas das transformações identitárias dos indivíduos entre as fases: preparação; cirurgia; período póscirúrgico, e consolidação das transformações corporais. Estes grupos, a meu ver, constituem espaços de reflexão encorajadora e automotivadora, como as trincheiras de resistência de Castells, que categorizou identidades de resistência , de projeto e legitimadora , e da sua afirmação que transformações na sociedade contemporânea se dariam hoje, prioritariamente na construção de sujeitos e de identidades como prolongamento da resistência comunal. O trabalho propõe um reposicionamento teórico da denominação comunidades virtuais, cristalizada há mais de uma década, apresentando um encadeamento conceitual para uma nova interpretação: virtuais comunidades. Embora de caráter qualitativo, para viabilizar avaliar a comunicação de centenas de interlocutores, a pesquisa faz uso de metodologia e ferramental especializado na operacionalização da análise discursiva através de computador

Resumo: Estudo sobre a Televisão Excelsior, importante emissora de televisão brasileira da década de 60, que devido aos envolvimentos políticos de seus proprietários foi perseguida e fechada pelo governo militar. Diversos autores excluíram sua existência de suas referências da historiografia da televisão brasileira. Seu papel foi importante como elo entre a primeira forma de fazer televisão no Brasil, representada pela extinta TV Tupi, e a moderna indústria televisiva, cujo paradigma é a TV Globo. O salto qualitativo entre as duas é muito grande, indicando uma lacuna que é muito bem preenchida quando se conhece a trajetória da TV Excelsior como empresa de comunicação e celeiro de novas idéias e técnicas televisivas

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho procura investigar no livro de contos Bichos (1940), do escritor modernista português Miguel Torga, pseudônimo literário de Adolfo Correia Rocha, a cosmovisão do autor que emerge a temática telúrica (a Natureza) bem como uma série de reflexões acerca da condição humana, a partir das quais traz à tona também uma nova concepção de humanismo. Partimos do princípio de que, nas narrativas, o homem se encontra numa sociedade civilizada, corrompido por valores do seu tempo, distanciado de modo exagerado de sua origem e, para que encontre um sentido para a sua existência, o homem tem de regressar à sua origem (à Natureza, que aparece nos contos dentro de uma perspectiva panteísta). Voltando à origem, por meio do contato com o outro, isto é, com os seres vivos que vivem integrados à natureza, o homem despertará e reaprenderá a usar a sua sensibilidade e passará a harmonizá-la com a razão. Passando, assim, a viver de modo fraterno e equilibrado com todos os seres do universo como forma de suavizar a dureza do trajeto existencial humano, marcado, por exemplo: pela angústia e solidão. Para darmos consistência a este estudo, utilizamos como suporte teórico autores, como Kierkegaard, Sartre e Heidegger; o sociólogo francês Michel Maffesoli; Mikhail Bakhtin; Marc Augé, e outros que contribuem de modo significativo para a análise e discussão do tema.This study tries to research the storybook Bichos (1940), by the portuguese modernist writer Miguel Torga, literary pseudonym of Adolfo Correia Rocha, the cosmovision of the author who emerges from the land-based theme (Nature) and a series of reflections about the human condition, from which also brings out a new conception of humanism. We depart from the principle that, in the narratives, the man is in a \"civilized\" society, corrupted by the values of his time, away out of proportion to their origin and to find a meaning to his existence, man has to return to his origin (to Nature, which appears in the tales within a pantheistic perspective). Returning to the origin, through contact with one another, that is, living beings who live integrated with nature, man will \"wake up\" and will \"relearn\" to use his sensibility and will bring to his reason. Turning thus to live in a fraternal and balanced with all universe beings as a way to soften the harshness of the human existential path, marked, for example: by anguish and loneliness. To give consistency to this study, we use as theoretical support authors, as Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre; the french sociologist Michel Maffesoli; Mikhail Bakhtin; Marc Augé, and others who contribute significantly for the analysis and discussion of the theme.

Full textAbstract:
The efficcacy of the treatment of the endodontic-periodontal lesion was evaluated in longitudinal studies, by means through a systematic review. Bibliographic tabulation sources identified electronically by MEDLINE, from 1966 up to March, 26 of 2007 and Cochrane Library, in the same period. As search strategy one used the terms - endodontic-periodontal lesion or endodontic-periodontal lesions or endodontic periodontal lesion or endodontic periodontal lesions or endo-perio lesion or endo-perio lesions or endodontics periodontal lesion or endodontics periodontal lesions - as word-key. The studies had been selected by two copyholders, independent, that also they had determined the criteria of inclusion and exclusion. The search presented 257 related articles, being that, of these, 55 articles were of literature revision, 27 articles became related with prospectives studies, 70 studies was cases reports, 19 studies had been developed in animals and 25 had involved retrospective studies. Absence of longitudinal studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria, with sights to the analysis based on evidences was observed. However, front to applied literature was verified that the success of the treatment of the endodontic-periodontal lesions is related to the brief identification of the etiology, to the control of microbiota present, to the immunological characteristics of the individual, being that one of the strategies and possible prognostic the origin of the infectious process is associated to it. Considering the estimate of success of the clinical success of the endodontic-periodontal lesion an initial microorganisms control in the oral cavity is suggested, followed for the control of endodontical microorganisms and, to follow, the periodontal, for then carrying through the treatment. The immunological system of the individual participates actively of the process as component manager.Avaliou-se em estudos longitudinais a eficácia do tratamento da lesão endodôntica-periodontal, por meio de revisão sistemática. Utilizou-se de fontes de catalogação bibliográfica identificadas eletronicamente por MEDLINE, a partir de 1966 até 26 de março de 2007 e Cochrane Library, no mesmo período. Como estratégia de busca utilizou-se os termos endodontic-periodontal lesion or endodontic-periodontal lesions or endodontic periodontal lesion or endodontic periodontal lesions or endo-perio lesion or endo-perio lesions or endodontics periodontal lesion or endodontics periodontal lesions como palavras-chave. Os estudos foram selecionados por dois revisores, independentes, que também determinaram os critérios de inclusão e exclusão. A busca apresentou 257 artigos relacionados, sendo que, destes, 55 artigos eram de revisão de literatura, 27 artigos relacionavam-se com estudos prospectivos, 70 estudos eram relatos de casos clínicos, 19 estudos foram desenvolvidos em animais e 25 envolveram estudos retrospectivos. Observou-se ausência de estudos longitudinais que satisfizessem os critérios de inclusão, com vistas à análise baseada em evidências. Contudo, frente à literatura aplicada verificou-se que o sucesso do tratamento das lesões endodônticas-periodontais está relacionado à breve identificação da etiologia, ao controle da microbiota presente, às características imunológicas do indivíduo, sendo que uma das estratégias e o possível prognóstico vincula-se à origem do processo infeccioso (endodôntico ou periodontal). Considerando a estimativa de êxito do sucesso clínico da lesão endodôntica-periodontal sugere-se um controle microbiano inicial na cavidade bucal, seguido pelo controle da microbiota endodôntica e, a seguir, a periodontal, para então realizar o tratamento. O sistema imunológico do indivíduo participa ativamente do processo como componente gerenciador.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable production and consumption, as well as decoupling environmental impact from economy growth are one of the main goals for countries with transition economies. Lithuania, as other Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries experienced changes in political, social and economic life in relative short time after the collapse of Soviet Union. Because of an essentially reduced production, use of natural resources and environmental pollution decreased respectively. However, present pronounced growth of transition countries and demand for better quality of life could lead to the increase in material and energy consumption. Such increase would have two implications: firstly, increasing pressure on the environment and health in enlarged EU and could outweigh achievements in Western Europe, and secondly, such increase could impede to reach foreseen objectives to decouple resource consumption from economic growth.
The aim of the research was to analyze the main trends of production and consumption and their environmental impact in Lithuania and to assess eco-efficiency of production and consumption and its main determinants.
Research on eco-efficiency and the course of decoupling of environmental impact from economy growth in Lithuania is relatively rare and is mostly based on energy issues or covers only one sector. In this study, the eco-efficiency of production and consumption in Lithuania is analyzed jointly for the first time. For the better interpretation of ongoing...

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MPhil (Ancient Studies)--University of Stellenbosch, 2008.Ammißaduqa, penultimate king of the Ôammurabi dynasty in the Old Babylonian period, reigned from 1646-1626 BCE, and issued a mēšarum edict which Finkelstein described as “a single tablet, inscribed with a most unique text of an importance for the socio-economic life of Babylonia second to no other.” It is essential to define ancient royal edicts within their cultural context. This thesis examines, within the broad legal, religious, political and social background of the Ancient Near East, the design of royal edicts, their aims, beneficiaries and legal implications. The primary goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the motives for the promulgation of mēšarum decrees within the ancient cultures, and in particular, the motives for Ammißaduqa’s first edict. There is a strong scholarly tendency to seek the motives in the economic faction, even likening this decree to a “modern-day economic stimulus package,” a type of “RDP”. Kraus noted that the first promulgation was designed and executed for ideological purposes, subsequent mēšarum edicts were economic emergency measures. Nel agreed that the proclamation of a mēšarum was part of the propaganda strategy to strengthen the royal administration and to legitimize its power. The mēšarum was not designed to bring prosperity, but to stimulate agricultural production and prevent uncontrolled urbanization. Olivier noted that the mēšarum was intended, not to reform the economic system, but to remedy the unbearable economic situation. The economic motive is therefore of prime importance for all subsequent edicts, although an overlapping of all three motives – ethics, ego and economy – is highly likely. The base-line conclusion is that the motive and the occasion are inseparable. The aim of this thesis was to produce sufficient evidence that king Ammißaduqa was primarily inspired by ethics and ego, and not economics, when declaring his first mēšarum edict.

Full textAbstract:
No mundo ocidental moderno [com o perdão pela generalização, e sem deixar de levar em conta as raríssimas exceções que se engajam em um movimento contrário], convivemos com o confronto entre duas posições opostas e aparentemente excludentes. De um lado, a crença em um Deus que rege o mundo material, mas com o qual esse mundo não interage, tendo em vista a sua condição de absoluto e inatingível. Do outro, a convicção racional de que só é aceitável cientificamente aquilo que se consegue comprovar materialmente o que, em tese, nega a existência de uma instância divina, confinando-a ao plano do imaginário. Esta tese propõe um resgate das instâncias intermediárias entre os mundos invisível e visível como forma de recuperar a integridade do pensamento e da vida do homem de nosso tempo. Baseia-se, para isso, no estudo da Ciência das Letras o sistema simbólico adotado pelo sufismo (ta½awwuf), ou mística islâmica, que converte as realidades espirituais em símbolos compreensíveis aos seres humanos e na idéia de imaginação, ou faculdade imaginal, que é a capacidade de realizar essa integração.In the modern occidental world, with rare exceptions that are located primarily in currents of Philosophy, Psychology, Mysticism and Physics, we face a confrontation between two opposite and apparently contradictory positions. On one side, the belief in a God which reigns the material world, but with whom this same world does not interact due to this Gods condition of absolute unattainability. On the other side, the rational conviction that the only scientifically acceptable facts are the ones that can be materially proved which, theoretically, denies the existence of a divine instance, confining it to the imaginary ground. This thesis proposes a recapture of the intermediary instances between the visible and the invisible worlds as a way to recuperate the integrity of contemporaneous mans thought. Thus this work is based in the study of the Science of Letters, the symbolic system adopted by Sufism (ta½awwuf) or Islamic esotericism, which converts the spiritual realities in symbols that are comprehensible for human beings, and also in the idea of an imaginal world, that shelters this passage.

Esta dissertação é resultado de pesquisa etnográfica desenvolvida de setembro de 2007 a dezembro de 2008, junto aos moradores da vila Elo Dourado e outros atores, na antiga região rural chamada de Lomba do Pinheiro, na cidade de Porto Alegre, RS. As questões que orientaram a pesquisa são relativas às configurações de uma memória da cidade. Procurou-se dar conta dessas questões por meio da compreensão interpretativa das práticas cotidianas e das narrativas do grupo estudado. Esta compreensão foi construída na interlocução etnográfica, entendida como um "caminhar juntos" no esforço de imaginar o espaço urbano tal como vivido pelos sujeitos do estudo. O lugar da pesquisadora foi entendido também como o lugar do narrador, bosquejando mapas junto aos seus interlocutores e deslocando-se com eles através de fronteiras e paisagens imaginárias. Tanto as práticas observadas quanto as narrativas ouvidas foram consideradas constituintes e constitutivas de uma memória partilhada e de formas de agência que incluem maneiras de imaginar e de atuar.The present dissertation is the result of the ethnographic research carried out between September 2007 and December 2008 among inhabitants and other actors of "Vila Elo Dourado" in the former rural region of Lomba do Pinheiro, Porto Alegre. The questions that guided the research refer to the configuration of city memories. The objective was to provide answers through an interpretative comprehension of practices and narrations of the studied group. This comprehension was built from the interaction based on fieldwork assumed as a "walk together" towards the urban landscape as the actors experience it. The researcher point of view was just one in the narrative, figuring out maps, frontiers and imaginative landscapes. All the observed and the narrated narratives were considered as constituent and constitutive of a shared memory and as forms of agency which imply ways of imagining and acting.

Esta comprensión fue construida en la interlocución del trabajo de campo, entendido como un "caminar juntos" en el esfuerzo de imaginar el espacio urbano tal como lo viven los sujetos de estudio. El lugar de la investigadora también fue entendido como el lugar del narrador, esbozando mapas junto a sus interlocutores y desplazándose con ellos a través de fronteras y paisajes imaginarios. Tanto las prácticas observadas como las narrativas escuchadas fueron consideradas constituyentes y constitutivas de una memoria compartida y de formas de agencia que implican maneras de imaginar y de actuar.

Full textAbstract:
Em um mundo cada vez mais temeroso do aquecimento global, o balanço de carbono favorável da siderurgia brasileira a carvão vegetal coloca esta modalidade em evidência após um passado à sombra da grande siderurgia a combustível fóssil. Esta posição de destaque é posta em cheque pelo espectro do desmatamento, mesmo já sendo realidade a certificação de plantações arbóreas que substituam a biomassa florestal e a concessão de créditos de carbono pelo emprego de tecnologias de carbonização de baixo impacto ambiental. Porque o modelo de cultivo e aproveitamento máximo da biomassa encontra resistência para se massificar na siderurgia a carvão vegetal de Minas Gerais, segmento que originalmente o concebeu? O exame crítico da história da produção e do consumo do carvão vegetal em tal estado conduz a uma resposta cujo fundamento repousa sob a maneira pela qual as empresas do segmento destacado alocaram seu capital. A balança por elas utilizada para pesar as aplicações possíveis opôs sistematicamente duas perdas, incertas por natureza. De um lado, a perda referente à possibilidade do estoque de florestas vir a se manifestar enquanto fator limitante às atividades siderúrgicas. De outro, a perda imposta pelo desvio, para a formação de plantações, do capital direcionado a aplicações comumente acessadas em sua trajetória individual de acumulação de capital. As siderúrgicas mineiras a carvão vegetal agiram como se entre elas fosse predominante a concepção de que a magnitude desta última perda seria superior à magnitude da primeira. Analisa-se, no último capítulo, o fomento florestal enquanto uma saída para romper com essa concepção. Demonstra-se que as economias de escala não são uma condição necessária da produção de lenha de eucalipto e do carvoejamento, comprovando-se que estes arranjos, caracterizados pelo compartilhamento de custos e riscos entre siderúrgicas e proprietários rurais, podem ser mutuamente vantajosos do ponto de vista pecuniário.In a global-warming-frightened world, the positive carbon balance of charcoal-based iron & steel making recovers it from a past outshined by the dominance of the large fossil fuel mills. Nevertheless, the risk of not being able to profit from the global decarbonization consensus is material, owing to the dependency on deforestation. This is true even being that the certification of forest-biomass-substituting-arboreal plantations and the concession of carbon credits to low environmental impact carbonization technologies, are already concrete possibilities. Why the model of cultivation and optimal use of biomass has not become dominant among the charcoal based iron & steel mills of Minas Gerais, the industry that has originally conceived it? The answer to which the critical exam of the history of charcoal production and consumption in Minas Gerais state points out is that a non-permissive behavioral principle has predominated among the sectors enterprises. Its the conception that the loss imposed by the outcome where the forest stock becomes a limiting factor for iron & steel making is smaller than the loss imposed by the deviation, to biomass cultivation, of the resources generally directed to traditional capital accumulation opportunities. The forest farmer contract, as a way to break with this conception, is evaluated in the last chapter. The fact that economies of scale are not a necessary condition of eucalyptus plantation and charcoal making is demonstrated, what shows that such arrangements, characterized by the sharing of cost and risk between mills and farmers, can be mutually advantageous from a pecuniary standpoint.

Previous issue date: 2016-06-07A tese visa entender a importância do Conselho de Desenvolvimento Econômico do Espírito Santo (Codec) para as políticas públicas destinadas à modernização do Espírito Santo considerando os níveis per capita de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Minas Gerais - por meio do planejamento e da industrialização, entre os anos de 1950 e 1980. O Codec foi o lócus onde parte das propostas, destinadas ao desenvolvimento capitalista capixaba, foram pensadas, tendo em vista a necessidade de reorientar a economia local às mudanças advindas pela erradicação dos cafezais e dos diferentes projetos industriais formulados para o desenvolvimento da economia local, fruto do jogo político estadual que via a industrialização como forma de hegemonia política. A síntese final de tais projetos foram os Grandes Projetos de Impacto, que reforçaram a posição complementar da economia capixaba no cenário mundial através da fixação da grande indústria de mineração, siderúrgica e celulose. As mudanças políticas, econômicas e sociais promovidas visavam adequar a economia local ao capitalismo internacional por meio da associação do capital público com o privado sem que houvesse mudanças estruturais significativas. Houve intensa concentração da renda e fundiária, principalmente na Região Metropolitana da Grande Vitória, coração dos Grandes Projetos.

Popular music artists portray a variety of themes through the aesthetics of their music, lyrics, and music videos. One theme in particular that began with David Bowie’s glam period (1972-1974) and the creation of his Ziggy Stardust persona is the notion of the Outsider. Bowie not only portrayed an Outsider character, but also spoke to and for those who felt like Outsiders. Punk, goth, and emo bands that were influenced by Bowie took this social stance to speak to and for their own versions of the Outsider. Drawing from subcultural theory, music analysis, and music video analysis, and using Bowie as a benchmark and influence, I explore how several other bands portray the Outsider in their music, lyrics, and music videos.

Evaluative research from Casa Brazil Program. Analysis of the foundations of political, ideological, economic, social, institutional and cultural order that conditioned the process of the formulation of the Brazilian digital inclusion policy and the dynamics of the Casa Brazil program implementation, having as empirical reference, as a way of illustration, the experience of Unit of Anjo da Guarda in São Luís, Maranhão. Therefore, we performed a critical approach of the Government action, in the current phase of neoliberalism as a way to explain the sustenance of the vaunted speech "Information Society" in the Brazilian scene. Furthermore, we emphasize how digital inclusion is understood from the fascination caused by the new Information and Communication Technologies that are manifested in a speech techno-boastful about the possibilities of social inclusion, particularly in peripheral countries, such as Brazil, and specifically Maranhão. We also discuss how the organic relationship between the government and capital, driven by neoliberal ideology, composed the structure that established the fundamentals of the Brazilian policy of digital inclusion. We noted that the origin of this policy in the current Brazilian situation resulted from the ideological action arising out of the Government and capital, influenced by the fetishism of the new Information and Communication Technologies in contemporary capitalism, presenting itself as a capitalist project adjustment of the Brazilian Government to the political pressures from developed countries and international organizations, whose main objective was to insert the country in the globalized world economy. It became necessary to introduce the concept of digital inclusion that theorists of the apologetic ideology support under that policy and Casa Brazil program, as well as presenting our own understanding, by advocating a conception of a digital inclusion whose ideology is really committed to the working class, as from a project of human emancipation. It was also analyzed the constituent elements of the program, giving deserved prominence to the terms: generation of employment and income, economic solidarity, sustainable development, access and production of information and knowledge, popularization of science and art, extending of citizenship and civil society action, demystifying the concept that each of these terms represents the context of the dominant ideology. We further identified, the mechanisms of participation and social control of Casa Brazil, which required emphasizing approaches from different authors and conceptual matrices about social control, participative management and management councils. We found that, in its process of implementation, the Casa Brazil program presented itself ineffective due to encountering obstacles that hindered the achievement of results. Furthermore, such proposal, as interesting and appropriate as possible at the micro level, had no such intention of breaking with the logic of the established order. We conclude thereby that, the Casa Brazil Program did not configure as a digital inclusion program, whose proposal was guided in the human emancipation of the working class, but rather the preservation and expansion of capitalism, given that their constituents supported the logic of capitalist exploitation, favoring the interests of the ruling class.
Pesquisa avaliativa do Programa Casa Brasil. Análise dos fundamentos de ordem política, ideológica, econômica, social, institucional e cultural que condicionaram o processo de formulação da política brasileira de inclusão digital e a dinâmica da implementação do Programa Casa Brasil, tendo como referência empírica, a título de ilustração, a experiência da Unidade do Anjo da Guarda, em São Luís-Maranhão. Para tanto, realizamos uma abordagem crítica da ação do Estado, na atual fase do neoliberalismo, como forma de explicar a sustentação do discurso da propalada Sociedade da Informação no panorama brasileiro. Além disso, enfatizamos como a inclusão digital é compreendida a partir do fascínio provocado pelas novas Tecnologias de Informação e de Comunicação que se manifestam em um discurso tecno-ufanista a respeito das possibilidades de inclusão social, sobretudo em países periféricos, como é o caso do Brasil, e, especificamente, do Maranhão. Também discutimos como a relação orgânica entre o Estado e o capital, impulsionada pela ideologia neoliberal, compôs a estrutura que instaurou os fundamentos da política brasileira de inclusão digital. Constatamos que a origem dessa política na atual conjuntura brasileira decorreu da ação ideológica advinda do Estado e do capital, influenciada pelo fetichismo das novas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação no capitalismo contemporâneo, ao se apresentar como um projeto capitalista de ajuste do Estado brasileiro às pressões políticas dos países desenvolvidos e dos organismos internacionais, cujo objetivo principal consistia em inserir o país na economia mundial globalizada. Fez-se necessário apresentarmos a concepção de inclusão digital que os teóricos da ideologia apologética defendem no âmbito dessa política e do Programa Casa Brasil, assim como apresentar a nossa própria compreensão, ao defender uma concepção de inclusão digital cuja ideologia esteja realmente comprometida com a classe trabalhadora, a partir de um projeto de emancipação humana. Também foram analisados os elementos constitutivos do programa, dando merecido destaque aos termos: geração de trabalho e renda, economia solidária, desenvolvimento sustentável, acesso e produção de informação e conhecimentos, popularização da ciência e da arte, ampliação da cidadania e ação da sociedade civil, desmistificando o conceito que cada termo desse representa no contexto da ideologia dominante. Identificamos, ainda, os mecanismos de participação e controle social do Casa Brasil, o que requereu enfatizar as abordagens de diferentes autores e matrizes conceituais a respeito do controle social, da gestão participativa e dos conselhos gestores. Verificamos que, em seu processo de implementação, o Programa Casa Brasil apresentou-se ineficaz por deparar-se com obstáculos que dificultaram o alcance dos seus resultados. Além disso, tal proposta, por mais interessante e adequada que tivesse sido em nível micro, não teve como pretensão romper com a lógica da ordem estabelecida. Concluímos, assim, que o Programa Casa Brasil não se configurou como um programa de inclusão digital, cuja proposta estivesse pautada na emancipação humana da classe trabalhadora, mas, sim, na preservação e expansão do capitalismo, tendo em vista que seus elementos constitutivos sustentavam a lógica da exploração capitalista, favorecendo os interesses da classe dominante.

Full textAbstract:
A series of pottery samples provided from the survey investigations and excavations from Degirmentepe Mound (Malatya), belonging to Chalcolithic (Ubaid), Early Bronze and Iron Ages, were investigated by petrographic and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses to determine their textures, mineralogical compositions and microstructures. The sample microstructures and chemical (semiquantitative) compositions were also studied by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM - EDX). The chemical analyses of some samples were further investigated by inductively coupled plasma &ndashoptical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Almost all samples were observed to consist of rock fragments, originating from metamorphic and igneous rocks, although larger grain sizes and higher grain to matrix ratios are recorded for Chalcolithic Age samples compared to those samples belonging to Iron Age. XRD investigations on representative samples of the three periods, revealed high abundances of quartz, feldspar, and pyroxene group minerals in all samples, while the presence of hematite and mica minerals were observed both in Chalcolithic and Iron Age samples, but underlying the use of micaceous raw materials mostly in Iron Age. In the XRD traces of the investigated sherds of Chalcolithic and Iron Ages, the absence of clay fractions both in the bulk and oriented samples, supports a minimum firing temperature of around 800- 850 °
C, while the presence of mullite phase both in XRD and SEM &ndash
EDX results showed the possible use of high firing temperatures, in the range of 950&ndash
1050°
C, starting from Chalcolithic Age. Chemical compositions of major oxides obtained ICP &ndash
OES analyses exhibit similar compositions both for Chalcolithic and Iron Age samples. Few exceptions observed may indicate possible use of different raw material and/or different manufacturing technique.

ABSTRACT:
A multi-analytical approach focus on the archaeometric characterization of plaster from temple C, and two elite houses belong to the late chalcolithic 3-4 (3800-3400 B.C), period VII in Arslantepe – Turkey, a site located in the Malatya plain, 5 km away from the city center and 15 km away from the Euphrates right bank, is done using three different methods: optical microscopy (OM) in thin section under polarizing microscopy to define petrographic features in terms of plaster fabric texture and structure as well as the type, percentage, ratio grain size and distribution of the added aggregate and inclusions Micro-morphological analysis has been carried out by Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) to define the fabric , inclusions and the secondary product in the pores . a mineralogical analysis by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) has been carried out also to identify the quantitative and qualitative mineralogical composition of the samples. In a result a marly limestone has been determine as a plaster raw material which probably came from two different source (local and other imported from different part of Malatya plain). Moreover, different aggregate selection, and diffirent technological levels were also detected in the samples, that are probably related to the level or the purpose (function) of the buildings. An evidence of a re-plastering process was also detected in the two elite houses, which probably refer to a routine maintenance process.

Resumo: A produção de conhecimentos sobre as Políticas Públicas de Esporte e Lazer e a viabilidade do desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias visando à qualificação da gestão pública do setor, foram tematizadas nesta tese. O problema detectado refere-se ao distanciamento entre pesquisadores responsáveis pela produção acadêmico-científica e tecnológica e os trabalhadores envolvidos com a formulação e gestão das referidas políticas, de um lado, e a necessidade da produção de conhecimentos sobre os temas, de outro. O aludido distanciamento tem sua gênese tanto no ethos dos estudos acadêmicos, em muitos casos saturados de um `academicismo¿ descomprometido com a gestão, como também no sentido excessivamente pragmático de muitos gestores, por vezes arredios às formulações teóricas e/ou conhecimento aplicado. Considerando a problematização apresentada, dados preliminares obtidos no desenvolvimento de pesquisas anteriores e os resultados de recente consulta à literatura, estabeleceu-se como objetivo a promoção da aproximação entre os agentes visando, a partir do trabalho coletivo, identificar, organizar e sistematizar informações confiáveis sobre os programas de esporte e lazer implantados no município de Goiânia e disponibilizá-las em um SIG. Para consecução do objetivo proposto tomou-se o método histórico crítico-dialético como parâmetro para trilhar o caminho visando desvendar o processo de inscrição da política de esporte e lazer na história recente do município, tomado como referência para o desenvolvimento de um estudo piloto, fundamental ao desenvolvimento de um Sistema de Informações Geográficas. Para além do referencial teórico, inserido na teoria do conhecimento de inspiração marxista, esta pesquisa pode ser caracterizada como um estudo piloto, no qual se articulou as técnicas de análise bibliográfica, documental e de campo. A análise bibliográfica teve, inicialmente, um caráter de estudo exploratório, a partir do qual foi possível produzir um levantamento crítico sobre o Estado da Arte, proporcionando uma apreensão qualificada acerca da pertinência do geoprocessamento na gestão de políticas públicas, evidenciando a relevância social, científica e contemporânea do tema. Complementarmente possibilitou o levantamento e a análise de importante material bibliográfico que subsidiou a discussão sobre a infraestrutura esportiva e de lazer, necessária à organização da Planilha de Dados e da Matriz Lógica dos Programas utilizadas na coleta de informações, na caracterização dos espaços/equipamentos do Programa Draulas Vaz e na definição dos atributos necessários ao desenvolvimento da interface. A superação do referido distanciamento não só foi possível como necessária à minimização dos efeitos da dicotomia trabalho intelectual/manual na criação do SIG-Esporte e Lazer, o qual possibilitou espacializar os locais nos quais a política se materializava, bem como a visualização de informações confiáveis sobre os programas, qualificando a gestão e, por decorrência, o planejamento urbano. Notou-se ampliação do comprometimento com as questões públicas do esporte e lazer dos envolvidos. A organização da base de dados possibilitou a geração de mapas temáticos, por meio dos quais se identificou a distribuição espacial e a área de abrangência dos referidos espaços e equipamentos e viabilizará correlações e análises necessárias ao monitoramento e a avaliação da política, bem como a espacialização das áreas municipais destinadas ao esporte e lazer, o que certamente politizará a discussão sobre disputa de interesses na desafetação da destinação original destas áreas públicas
Abstract: The production of knowledge about Public Policies for Sport and Leisure and the viability of the development of new technologies aiming at the qualification of the public management of this sector were approached in this thesis. The problem detected refers, on the one hand, to the distance between researchers responsible for the academic-scientific and technological production and the workers involved in the formulation and management of such policies, and on the other hand, to the need to produce knowledge about the themes. The referred distance comes from both the ethos of the academic studies, steeped in an "academicism" disengaged with management, and the excessively pragmatic sense of the managers, who sometimes refuse theoretical formulations. Considering the problematization presented, the preliminary data collected in the development of previous researches and the results of the recent literature review, it was established the objective to promote the approximation of agents aiming, from the collective work, to identify, organize and systematize reliable information about the programs of sport and leisure implanted in the city of Goiânia, and make it available in a Geographic Information System. To achieve this objective, the historical method critical-dialectical was used as a parameter, aiming to unveil the process of inscription of the policy of sport and leisure in the recent history of the city, taken as reference for the development of a pilot study, which is fundamental to the development of a Geographic Information System. Beyond the theoretical background, inserted in the theory of knowledge of Marxist inspiration, this research can be characterized as a pilot study in which the techniques of bibliographical, documental and research field analysis were articulated. The bibliographical analysis had initially an exploratory character from which it was possible to produce a critical survey about the State of Art, enabling a more qualified apprehension about the pertinence of the geoprocessing in the management of public policies, making evident the social, scientific and contemporary relevance of the theme. Additionally, it enabled the survey and the analysis of an important bibliographical material that subsidized the discussion about the sport and leisure infrastructure required for the organization of the Worksheet Data and the Logical Matrix of the Programs used in the information collection, in the characterization of the spaces/equipments of the Program Draulas Vaz, and in the definition of the attributes needed for the development of the Software. The overcoming of the distance previously mentioned was not only possible but also necessary to the minimization of the effects of the dichotomy intellectual/manual work in the creation of the GIS-Sport and Leisure, which enabled to map the places where the politics was materialized, as well as the visualization of reliable information about the programs, qualifying the management and, therefore, the urban planning. The organization of the database enabled the production of thematic maps through which it was possible to identify the spatial distribution and the coverage area of the referred spaces and equipments. Besides, it will promote correlations and analyses required for the monitoring and the evaluation of the politics, as well as the spatialization of the municipal areas destined to sport and leisure, which will certainly politicize the discussion about dispute of interests in the disfranchisement of the original destination of these public areas

Darnios gamybos ir vartojimo siekimas, o tuo pačiu ir poveikio aplinkai atsiejimas nuo ekonomikos, yra vienas pagrindinių darnaus vystymosi tikslų pereinamosios ekonomikos šalims.

Ūkio restruktūrizavimas lėmė transformacinį ūkio nuosmukį ir jį sekusį išteklių naudojimo ir aplinkos teršimo sumažėjimą.

[toliau žr. visą tekstą]Sustainable production and consumption, as well as decoupling environmental impact from economy growth are one of the main goals for countries with transition economies. Lithuania, as other Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries experienced changes in political, social and economic life in relative short time after the collapse of Soviet Union. Because of an essentially reduced production, use of natural resources and environmental pollution decreased respectively. However, present pronounced growth of transition countries and demand for better quality of life could lead to the increase in material and energy consumption. Such increase would have two implications: firstly, increasing pressure on the environment in enlarged EU and could outweigh achievements in Western Europe, and secondly, such increase could impede to reach foreseen objectives to decouple resource consumption from economic growth. The aim of the research was to analyze the main trends of production and consumption and their environmental impact in Lithuania and to assess eco-efficiency of production and consumption and its main determinants. Research on eco-efficiency and the course of decoupling of environmental impact from economy growth in Lithuania is relatively rare and is mostly based on energy issues or covers only one sector. In this study, the eco-efficiency of production and consumption in Lithuania is analyzed jointly for the first time. For the better interpretation of ongoing... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
L'intégration énergétique est un moyen puissant pour améliorer l'efficacité énergétique dans l'industrie. La récupération de chaleur a été étendue de l’échelle locale d’un procédé à l’échelle territoriale, comportant plusieurs procédés formant des éco parcs industriels, permettant d’atteindre une haute efficacité énergétique. De nombreuses méthodes et outils ont été développés pour identifier le potentiel de récupération de chaleur et la configuration optimale du réseau de transfert de chaleur comme solution pour l'intégration énergétique aux deux échelles. Les fluctuations des conditions opératoires, telles que les températures d’entrée et de sortie, ainsi que les débits par rapport à leurs valeurs nominales sont inévitables. Par conséquent, les problèmes d’opérabilité sont importants et doivent être considérés dans les méthodologies de conception et l’évaluation de la flexibilité devient un pré requis essentiel dès la conception pour mieux prendre en compte les fluctuations et les perturbations dans les réseaux de synergie énergétique. Le présent travail propose une méthodologie séquentielle de deux étapes basée sur deux modèles d’optimisation mathématique afin d’éviter l’inclusion d’un grand nombre de conditions opératoires directement dans une seule formulation et qui conduit progressivement à une conception flexible avec un certain niveau de confiance en un temps de calcul efficace. Au cours de la première étape, une topologie fixe est générée à l'aide d'un modèle MILP multi-périodes fournissant une solution détaillée du réseau de récupération, la sélection des zones d'échangeurs de chaleur et l'installation de la tuyauterie, tout en prenant en compte un nombre fini de scénarios de variations. Ensuite, un modèle non linaire d'évaluation de la flexibilité est utilisé pour tester la faisabilité opérationnelle du réseau fixe face à des variations supplémentaires qui se produisent à l'échelle locale et territoriale, tout en envisageant des degrés de liberté opérationnelles pour garantir l’opérabilité. Les informations fournies sont utilisées pour déterminer les points critiques à ajouter à la phase de conception multi-périodes pour rechercher un nouveau réseau candidat. Chaque modèle et la méthodologie sont validés par des cas d’étudesOne powerful way to improve energy efficiency in industry is through Heat Integration. The heat recovery application was extended from process level to multiple processes in eco-industrial parks offering important energy efficiency improvements. Many methodologies and tools have been developed to identify the potential heat recovery and the optimal heat transfer network design as heat integration solution at both scales. Nerveless, deviations of operating conditions such as supply and target temperatures and flow rates from nominal values are unavoidable, thus the operability issues are of vital importance to be considered in design methodologies and the flexibility assessment become an essential prerequisite of the heat transfer configuration in order to better take into account fluctuations and disturbances in the energy synergy networks. The present work propose an iterative two steps methodology based on two mathematical optimization models to prevent the inclusion of a large number of variability directly in one design formulation and leads progressively to a flexible design with a certain level of confidence in an efficient computation time. During the first step, a fixed topology is generated using multi period MILP model providing detailed solution on the recovery network, selection of heat exchangers areas and piping installation while considering a finite number of operating scenarios. Then a flexibility assessment NLP model is used to test the operational feasibility of the resulting fixed network for additional variations that occur at local and territorial scale while considering operational degrees of freedom to ensure feasible operation. The information provided is used to determine the critical points for flexibility to be added to the multi period design phase to find a new candidate network. Each model and the whole methodology are validated with case studies

On utilise la théorie de Floquet-Lin pour des systèmes différentiels linéaires quasi-périodiques pour établir des résultats d'existence et d'unicité et de dépendance continue des systèmes différentiels non linéaires quasi-périodiques. Et dans un second temps on établit un résultat de réductibilité d'un système différentiel linéaire presque-périodique en un système différentiel linéaire triangulaire supérieur avec conservation du nombre des solutions presque-périodiques indépendantes. Ensuite, on établit un résultat d'existence et d'unicité et de dépendance continue des systèmes différentiels non linéaires presque-périodiques par rapport au terme du contrôle.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to provide adequate analytical information on the spade shaped iron bars of Norrland and central Sweden. While their significance has been thoroughly debated for decades, analytical research on them has been confined to cases of single artefacts or theoretical interpretations of their value, meaning and origin. In this study a comprehensive approach is taken into consideration. Based on X-Ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and metallographical analysis this thesis seeks to facilitate new interpretations on quality, production centres and usage based on analytical results. Aiming to settle some of the long lasting questions regarding the artefacts while producing results which can further the discussion by raising new questions, previously unasked.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally archaeology has referred to the anthropic sediments accumulated around prehistoric settlements with the blanket term ‘midden’. This is now recognised as an inadequate term to describe the complex formation processes and functions represented in these sediments. This thesis reviewed the body of evidence accumulated over the past century of research into Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements on the islands of the Scottish North Atlantic seaboard and extrapolated the many occurrences of ‘midden’. Several contexts emerged for these sediments including interior floors, hearths, exterior occupational surfaces, dumped deposits, building construction materials and abandonment infill. In addition, ‘midden’ is described added to cultivated soils to form fertile anthrosols. The way in which prehistoric communities exploited this material for agriculture and construction has been described through geoarchaeological research which implied that to past communities ‘midden’ was a valuable resource. This led to the formation of a model based upon a human ecodynamics framework to hypothesise sediment formation pathways. Rescue excavation at the Links of Noltland, Westray provided an opportunity to conduct a holistic landscape and fine resolution based study of Neolithic and Bronze Age settlement to test this model. The research incorporated auger survey, archaeological and geoarchaeological excavation, thin section micromorphology and SEM EDX analyses. Sediments identified in literature review and recovered from the field site were described using this toolkit and set within a cultural and environmental context. Results demonstrate that anthropic materials were incorporated into all contexts examined. Discrete burning and maintenance activities were found to have taken place during the gradual accumulation of open-air anthropic sediments whilst incorporation of fuel residues and hearth waste into floors lead to the gradual formation of ‘living floors’ inside structures. An unexpected discovery was evidence of animal penning within late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age settlement and the in situ burning of stabling waste. Three types iv | P a g e of land management strategy which relied upon the input of anthropic sediments were evidenced and the range and extent of anthropic inclusions in the landscape recorded. Spatial interpolation of auger survey data utilised a new sub-surface modelling technique being developed by the British Geological Survey to explore soil stratigraphic relationships in 3D. SEM EDX analysis supported micromorphological analysis providing chemical data for discrete inclusions and assisting in the identification of herbivore dun ash and the Orcadian funerary product ‘cramp’. SEM EDX analysis was also applied to fine organo-mineral material for statistical testing of nutrient loadings across context groups. It was found that anthropic sediments were enriched in macro and intermediate plant nutrients Mg, P, K, S and Ca compared to geological controls, and the application of anthropic material to cultivated soils improved soil fertility for the three observed land management practices. The versatility of anthropic sediments was explored through discussion of context groups based upon the results of this research and the potential significance of this material to prehistoric communities is explored.
