This lighthouse is a visual anchor from land and sea. Its three concrete towers reach 250 feet tall with a base diameter of 75 feet. Accompanying its rotating spotlight is a central spotlight, lighting the core of the tower vertically and continuing into the sky. Nested 150 feet up the tower is the residence for the lighthouse keeper. Siting at a high elevation along a shear cliff face, the often fog shrouded tower is a strong light signal for voyagers at sea.<br>Master of Architecture

This thesis attempts to solve a problem identified by the Swedish Maritime administration. The problem consists of birds, more precisely great cormorants, which stain lighthouses with their faeces. Initially an investigation of the great cormorants is performed. The cormorants thrive in great numbers nowadays in the Swedish archipelago after being extinct only a few decades ago. The faeces has a very foul smell and is therefore considered as a problem by maintenance personnel working on lighthouses. It also causes an increased need for cleaning and repainting. An evaluation of previously tested methods for bird deterring was also performed. That evaluation did not discover any methods that had a long lasting effect. Rather it seemed that all methods suffered from habituation. Information about cormorants that tends to avoid being close to base stations for mobile phones was investigated. The investigation could neither confirm such an effect, nor dismiss one. Further investigation was discontinued since it was assumed that the effect was, if it existed, too weak to function as a bird deterring device. Finally bird spikes were discussed. Bird spikes were considered as an interesting direction for future work since it was judged to be a conceivable and permanent solution.<br>Denna rapport har sökt en lösning till, det av Sjöfartsverket, identifierade problemet med skarvfåglar på Sveriges fyrar. Skarvens träck har en mycket frän doft som skapar obehag hos Sjöfartsverkets personal som utför underhållsarbeten på fyrarna. Fågelträcken luktar inte bara illa utan bidrar också till ett utökat behov av rengöring samt målningsarbeten. Inledningsvis undersöktes framförallt skarvfågeln noggrant med syfte att bidra till ökad förståelse för problemet. Det konstaterades bland annat att skarven nu är en ytterst talrik invånare i våra skärgårdar efter att ha genomgått en stark populationsökning under de senaste decennierna. En utvärdering av tidigare testade metoder för att skrämma skarvarna utfördes. Denna utvärdering kunde inte finna någon framgångsrik metod utan visade istället på att en tillvänjningseffekt mot skrämmorna ofta uppstod givet att fåglarna fick tid att vänja sig. Tillvänjningseffekten kunde inte påvisas med säkerhet hos alla de utvärderade metoder men mycket pekade på att skarvar förmodligen alltid kommer vänja sig vid utplacerade skrämmor på fyrar. En hypotes att skarvar verkade undvika att vistas i närheten av basstationer för mobiltelefoni undersöktes. Det visade sig att fåglar innehar ett magnetiskt mineral som mycket väl kan absorbera strålning ifrån master för mobiltelefoni. Dessvärre visade sig osäkerheten om huruvida strålningen på något sätt påverkade fåglarnas beteende vara stor. Om effekten verkligen existerade bedömdes den som alltför ringa för att kunna fungera som en effektiv fågelskrämma. Avslutningsvis behandlas en för skarvarna hindrande åtgärd som med viss framtida utveckling eventuellt kan visa sig vara en slutgiltig lösning på problemet. Den hindrande åtgärden bestod av spikar konstruerade så att skarven inte kan landa på fyren.

Find full textAbstract:
Historic rock-mounted lighthouses play a vital role in the safe navigation around perilous reefs. Their longevity is threatened by the battering of waves which may be set to increase with climate change. The protection of this historic heritage needs the identification of both structural dynamic parameters (natural frequencies and shape modes), and of the worst-cases wave load combination, able to affect that natural frequencies. This dissertation was developed during a period of five months at University of Plymouth, along with the researching team of the project STORMLAMP. The project is divided in three parts; the first involving a meteocean analysis, developed by means of peak over threshold technique, aimed to address realistically a test campaign held afterwards. The second, focused on the dynamic analysis of the Dubh Artach lighthouse and was developed by means of a Matlab toolbox provided to the group by Prof. Brownjohn from Exeter University, partner of the project as well. It is aimed on one hand to detect the dynamic properties of the structure and, on the other hand, to recognize eventual directionality in the structural response. The third phase was held at Plymouth University laboratory “COAST”. During this phase, a laboratory campaign, involving more than 100 tests, allowed to perform a parametric analysis aimed to identify the parameters, of an extreme wave, that influence more the impact force and that the wave exerts on the structure. To extract impact time history, force signals were decomposed by means of Empirical mode decomposition and Duhamel integral algorithms. Image analysis, moreover, allowed to locate run-up caused by those waves upon a steel cylinder and to integrate a study of the run-up as well. The analysis led to several considerations useful on one hand for the prediction of the worst-case loading of the Dubh Artach lighthouse and, on the other hand, for the introduction of the NewWave theory for the design of coastal structures.

Full textAbstract:
The Point Sur Lighthouse is an unreinforced stone masonry building completed in 1889 on the central coast of California. The lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still an active aid to navigation. The original first-order Fresnel lens was removed from the lantern room and placed in safekeeping due to its high risk of damage in the event of a strong earthquake. The lens has been approved to return to its original setting but the seismic performance of the building must first be assessed in order to ensure the safety of the lens and lighthouse, specifically the out-of-plane behavior of the unreinforced masonry walls, the implementation of possible seismic retrofit schemes, and the effects of the lens’s added weight.
This research focuses on the dynamic behavior of the lighthouse in its current state and the changes in the dynamic behavior each of the proposed seismic retrofit schemes might cause. For the purposes of this research, dynamic behavior is considered as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and related structural properties. The dynamic behavior of the lighthouse was assessed using two main methods: forced vibration testing and finite element computer modeling. Forced vibration testing is a nondestructive testing method that can be used to directly characterize dynamic behavior of a structure, and finite element computer modeling is useful for the design and simulation of dynamic behavior of both new and existing structures. The combination of these two methods on the Point Sur Lighthouse will work to develop and prove state-of-the-art seismic retrofitting techniques.

Previous issue date: 2013-09-27<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>Virginia Woolf is considered one of the most important British writers. Besides showing in her texts an enormous concern with breaking the limit space-time, she engaged in a process of literary experimentation in order to represent the objective and subjective reality of the invented subjects. Discuss the construction of memory-images and how it is re-signified in the opuses To
The Lighthouse (1927) and The Waves (1931) by Virginia Woolf is the main interest of this dissertation, which starts from the assumption that everything begins in the memory and ends in the image. As noted Filloux (1959, p.122): "for a reminder to reappear in consciousness, it has to come down from the heights of the memory to the moment where the action takes place." This action, as evidenced in the interior life of the characters in both narratives, has a perceptual bias that is realized in the image. At first, the paper discusses about the different
conceptions of the memorialistic universe, considering its intrinsic relationship with time and space. Next, it explores the woolfian language and its proximity to impressionism/Post-Impressionism, and only then makes a more fruitful analysis of the image represented not only
in memory of the characters, but in the Woolfian narrative itself. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, the research is supported mainly on the bibliography of Henri Bergson (2006), once its concepts enable greater understanding of the constitution of memory-images.
Placed that woolfian narratives configure themselves into a true poetics of space, this paper also supports itself on some propositions of Gaston Bachelard (2008), in particular those exploring the creative imagination. On the pictorial questions, the work privileges, among other
authors, the impressionist concepts by Meyer Schapiro (2002). The way Virginia Woolf represents the psychological universe of her characters, as well as the simultaneity between the interior and exterior, which are remarkable in their literary style, lead us to think that all
recollection conducts itself to a type of pictorial construct, that is, the images constructed in the narratives from the stream of consciousness can be viewed as if they were literally framed. Thus, both the novels discussed here show that literature influenced by the Impressionist
aesthetic implies a new way to view pictures.<br>Virginia Woolf é considerada uma das mais importantes escritoras inglesas. Além de mostrar em seus textos uma enorme preocupação com a quebra do limite espaço-temporal, ela empenhou-se num processo de experimentação literária a fim de representar a realidade
objetiva e subjetiva dos sujeitos por ela inventados. Discorrer sobre a construção das imagenslembranças
e como ela é ressignificada nas obras To The Lighthouse (1927) e The Waves (1931) de Virginia Woolf é o interesse principal dessa dissertação, que parte do pressuposto de que tudo começa na memória e termina na imagem. Como constata Filloux (1959, p.122): “para
que uma lembrança reapareça na consciência, é preciso que ela desça das alturas da memória até o ponto em que se realiza a ação”. Essa ação, tal como evidenciamos na vida interior das personagens de ambas as narrativas, possui um viés perceptivo que se concretiza na imagem.
A princípio, o trabalho discorre sobre as diferentes concepções acerca do universo memorialístico, considerando a sua intrínseca relação com o tempo e o espaço. A seguir, explora-se a linguagem woolfiana e a sua proximidade com o mpressionismo/pósimpressionismo,
para só então fazer uma análise mais profícua da imagem, representada não só na memória das personagens, mas na própria narrativa woolfiana. A fim de alcançar os objetivos desse trabalho, a pesquisa apoia-se principalmente na bibliografia de Henri Bergson
(2006), uma vez que seus conceitos possibilitam uma maior compreensão acerca da constituição das imagens-lembranças. Posto que as narrativas woolfianas configuram-se numa verdadeira poética do espaço, o trabalho também se apoia em algumas proposições de Gaston Bachelard (2008), em específico, àquelas que tratam da imaginação criadora. Sobre as questões pictóricas, o trabalho privilegia, entre outros autores, as concepções impressionistas de Meyer Schapiro (2002). A maneira como Virginia Woolf representa o universo psicológico de suas personagens, bem como a simultaneidade entre o interior e o exterior, que são marcantes em seu estilo literário, nos levam a pensar que toda lembrança encaminha-se para um tipo de
construto pictórico, ou seja, as imagens construídas nas narrativas a partir do fluxo de consciência podem ser visualizadas como se estivessem literalmente emolduradas. Assim, ambos os romances aqui discutidos mostram que a literatura, influenciada pela estética
impressionista, implica em uma nova maneira de ver imagens.

Full textAbstract:
Autor no autoriza el acceso a texto completo de su documento.<br>The issue of dominance and submissiveness in Virginia Woolf’s (1927) To The Lighthouse will be the center of this study because of a number of reasons. Virginia Woolf shows an interesting mixture composed of governing and subservient figures in her novels. These first ones are represented mainly by men such as Mr. Ramsay, and the second ones, by women such as Mrs. Ramsay. The creation of this dichotomy is clearly influenced by the Post-Victorian environment in which Woolf grew up and wrote. There is an innovative way to present us these characters because she shows us the reality of dominance and obedience in a sarcastic way, that is, by saying something when she wants to state the opposite. Virginia Woolf’s novels are characterized by the presence of governing and subservient protagonists. This happens due to the context in which she created her novels, that is, the Post Victorian period. Nevertheless, there is an attempt to balance these two complementary forces, dominant and submissive, in order to criticize the established order. She did it in a subtle way, though; the social conventions at that period prevented her from going any further. The aim of this essay will be to discover the element that makes dominance and submission to be apparent in the characters, this key element could be the post- Victorian society or a personal contribution of the author, specifically a modern strategy, to change society from the individual rather than system. This work will be a contribution in the sense that as a starting hypothesis is that dominant and submissive figures in Woolf’s novels are presented in a non-traditional fashion. Therefore, one of the contributions of exploring these seemingly ascendant and passive representations would be to encourage a more realistic approach to characters, leaving aside stereotypical notions. Another contribution of this study, which lies on the examination of artistic and aesthetic motivations, is related to aesthetic purposes of the author. However, these are treated in an innovative way, not explaining much about their nature with practical language, but using rhetoric and poetic resources. Finally, it is important to relate these dichotomies to Woolf’s Modernism.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO<br>Neste estudo foram determinadas as concentrações de mercúrio total (Hgtotal) na fauna agregada aos recifes arenosos formados por poliquetas, Phragmatopoma lapidosa, com o intuito de se verificar a transferência trófica deste elemento. Além da biota presente como, mexilhão (Perna perna), alga verde (Ulva spp.), caranguejo-porcelana (Pachycheles sp), molusca gastrópoda (Thais haemastoma) e sua postura, o Hgtotal também foi determinado no material particulado em suspensão e no sedimento superficial da região localizada no Farol de São Tomé (22 04 52 S e 041 06 59 W), no norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Esta área oceânica pertence a uma região de transição faunística, que apresenta uma grande biodiversidade. O Hgtotal nas amostras bióticas e abióticas secas foi determinado em um espectrômetro de absorção atômica com vapor frio, acoplado a um sistema de injeção em fluxo Perkin Elmer, modelo FIAS 400. Para se caracterizar a área, os parâmetros físicos e químicos pH, Eh, salinidade e temperatura foram determinados. A concentração de clorofila a também foi determinada (0,004 ug.L menos 1) classificando o ambiente como oligotrófico no momento da coleta. O total de sólidos em suspensão apresentou uma concentração baixa de Hgtotal (156,78 mais ou menos 0,61 ug.kg menos 1). Dentre a biota analisada a molusca gastrópoda apresentou a maior concentração nos seus tecidos moles (82,75 mais ou menos 5,78 ug.kg menos 1). Entretanto a sua principal fonte de alimento, o mexilhão apresentou uma concentração de Hgtotal quatro vezes menor (19,13 mais ou menos 0,58 ug.kg menos1) e a sua postura aproximadamente onze vezes menor (7,36 mais ou menos 0,71 ug.kgmenos1). A partir destes dados conclui-se que houve a transferência trófica do Hgtotal entre os organismos estudados.<br>In order to verify the trophic transfer of mercury, the concentrations of total mercury (Hgtotal) were determined in the aggregated fauna from a sand reef region formed by polychaetes, Phragmatopoma lapidosa. In addition to the aggregated fauna, mussel (Perna perna), green algae (Ulva spp.), porcelain crab (Pachycheles sp) and gastropod (Thais haemastoma) and its posture, Hgtotal were also determined in the suspended particulate matter and in the superficial sediments from the region of the Lighthouse of St. Tomé Reef, Northern Rio de Janeiro State (22 04 52 S, 041 06 59 W). This oceanic area belongs to a transitional faunistic region, which presents a great biodiversity. Hgtotal in the biotic and abiotic samples were determined by a cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry, coupled to a flow injection system, Perkin Elmer FIAS 400. In order to characterize the superficial water layer of the region, some physical and chemical water parameters (pH, Eh, salinity and temperature) were determined. At the moment of the water sampling, the concentrations of chlorophyll a (0.004 ug.L less 1) in the water column indicated that the trophic state was oligotrophic. The total suspended particulate matter showed a low mean of Hgtotal (156.78 more or less 0.61 ug.kg less 1). The gastropod soft tissues presented the highest Hgtotal (82.75 more or less 5.78 ug.kg less1) and were approximately fourfold higher than those found in its main food items, the mussel (19.13 more or less 0.58 ug.kg less 1). However, mercury concentrations in gastropod posture (7.36 more or less 0.71ug.kg less 1) were eleven times lower than those found in gastropod soft tissues. From these data, it suggests that there is trophic transfer of mercury between organisms studied.

Full textAbstract:
Les textes de virginia woolf portent en eux des inscriptions de leurs propres geneses. Plus precisement, les scenes de l'ecriture tissees a travers la structure diegetique de ces textes fonctionnent a la fois comme des representations de la genese de l'ecriture et comme des mises en scene de cet evenement. Dans chaque cas, la genese de l'ecriture accompagne l'engendrement du sujet. On pourrait donner a un des elements qui figure de facon decisive a travers ces mises en scene, le nom de "loi". Il s'agit d'une force exterieure qui, en premier lieu, barre le chemin, en arretant le processus de l'ecriture pour finalement, et de facon paradoxale, participer a la constitution de l'ecriture produite et du sujet qui emerge. Cette etude se propose premierement de comprendre ce qui fonctionne commela "loi" dans les textes analyses et tente ensuite de decouvrir comment l'ecriture et le sujet se mobilisent pour negocier un passage au-dela de l'obstacle impose. Elle vise a la fois ce qui fonctionne comme une force de loi externe et interne au texte : d'abord, ce qui vraisemblablement intervient de l'exterieur du texte pour empecher son engendrement, et ensuite ce qui constitue la force de loidu texte, ce qui accorde a un texte la possibilite de fonctionner lui-meme comme une force de loi en imposant la singularite de son propre idiome vis-a-vis des conventions pre-etablies ou il prend son depart. La mise en relation des trois textes de woolf qui forment l'objet de cette etude, a savoir, the voyage out, to the lighthouse, et between the acts, rend manifeste une evolution decisive du rapport a la loi vis-a-vis de l'idiome poetique aussi bien que du sujet. Pour les trois textes etudies ici, la nature de la negociation avec la loi devant laquelle chacun se trouve est determinante dans la construction de sa loi propre. The voyage out se termine par une dissociation entre les dimensions singulieres et universelles dont il a besoin pour inaugurer sa propre force de loi. To the lighthouse, en revanche, n'evite pas, mais plutot se tourne vers la negociation d'un rapport avec les forces de loi exterieures auxquelles il est confronte. Dans between the acts, la loi a laquelle l'idiome du texte est confronte est la sienne. L'idiome de ce texte fait appel aux lois contradictoires qui le constituent, les invitant a un jeu de l'entre-deux afin de degager du conflit, la possibilite de

This dissertation is a performative exploration of experience within our technoscientific--that is, technologically and scientifically saturated--world. Drawing upon posthumanism and cyborg studies and working through specific, mutated versions of performative inquiry and phenomenology, I aim to encourage creative public participation in technoscientific discourse. That is, I apply an adapted method (cyborg phenomenology) to my own staged personae performances of nonhuman entities in order to investigate technoscientific experience from a less anthrocentric perspective. My goal is to interrogate my performance experience in order to better understand the dynamics of agency and relationship within our technologically infused world, and to employ performance and performative writing as pedagogical tools for educating others about these dynamics. This document might be best read as an example of performative inquiry as a useful approach to the study of technoscience and its consequences. As a whole, this dissertation is a call for, theorization with, and performative demonstration of artful participation in the multi-layered discourses of technology and science that impact the lives of all beings in our world. It is an experiential experiment, an exploration of possibility, and a beginning.

Full textAbstract:
In America urban school systems have encountered difficulties retaining teachers. The ramification of teacher attrition is that the neediest students are often taught by those with the least educational experience.
The purpose of this study was to determine the implications of Virginia teacher licensure regulations on teacher retention in Lighthouse City Public Schools. The study addressed four research questions: 1) "What factors influence the retention of teachers in Lighthouse City Public Schools? 2) Is it possible to predict demographically by race, gender, age, grade level of teaching assignment or licensure preparation program which groups or sub-groups of people are more likely or less likely to leave a school system? 3) Does the licensure preparation program influence retention? 4) Were the Virginia licensure requirements the reasons cited for the departure of teachers in 2004, 2005, and 2006? The research focused an urban school system in southeastern Virginia with approximately 33,000 students. The population was 361 teachers hired for the 2003 school year. A researcher developed survey was electronically mailed to the still employed teachers, and a mailed survey was sent to all the teachers who had left the school system.
A multiple regression was performed on the demographic data to try to predict teacher retention or attrition. The results of the multiple regression indicated that statistically (p<.01) only the variable of licensure could be a predictor of retention. All of the survey respondents agreed that a strong principal was the key to retention.
Urban school systems are challenged by local standards, state standards, and No Child Left Behind mandates, and compounding the difficulties is on-going teacher loss. It is imperative that school system leaders provide new teacher support and time for the inexperienced to learn how to become excellent. Teachers are not expendable; students are at stake.<br>Ph. D.

This essay focuses on the character of Lily Briscoe in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. From a gender perspective it discusses Lily's striving to exceed her socially constructed position as a woman by attempting to be an artist. At the beginning of the twentieth century women were supposed to be housewives rather than artists. This ideology of femininity held women back from achieving anything outside the home, and forced women to attempt to escape their femininity in order to pursue their dreams. This essay discusses Lily's efforts to escape her femininity by attempting to transcend her body and by striving to achieve an androgynous mind.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the present paper was to explore a new approach to the notions of time, temporality, and space within modernist literature, the distinction of the natural, conceptual, and fictional time as well as the alterations of time due to the deictic centre. The investigation of the above-mentioned issues was based on the modernist novel To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. The main method chosen for the study was content analysis. The research of time and space shift in the given novel is grounded on several overlapping critical theories: Practical Criticism, which comprises Formalist and New Critical ideas, Psychoanalysis, and the Theory of Narratology. The research demonstrated that Virginia Woolf attempted to structure her novel outside the conventional clock of time treatment because it was too inflexible to be suitable for a writer who believed that time represented in fiction should reflect the way time influences and is influenced by human lives. The given novel is a conspicuous example of an innovative concept of time and space presented by the author who gave preference to the abstract inner time rather than to that of the outer world and who come closer than any other writer to expressing time as it actually is experienced in human mind. The present study extended the existing knowledge of the psychological background, the transitivity and variability of time issues, and of the specific features the modern narrative in the novel.

Full textAbstract:
Modernism is often connected to the public sphere due to its associations with urbanity and technological changes. But interiority and private life was as important to modernity and, in particular, in Virginia Woolf’s writing. This essay explores the protagonists’ access to and experience of privacy in Woolf’s novels To the Lighthouse (1927) and Mrs Dalloway (1925), which both centre on women in a domestic environment. The reading combines modernist reactions against Victorian domesticity, which was structured on the private/public dichotomy and which limited women’s access to privacy, and combines it with modernist views of interiority, informed, more specifically, by Freud’s model of the unconscious and the spatial features of it. Privacy and interiority are imagined with spatial metaphors, but privacy is not necessarily connected to physical place and being alone, but rather having the ability to control the social situation and to choose what one reveals about oneself. Both novels re-imagine privacy and its ties to physical as well as mental space. This essay argues that To the Lighthouse is centred on a traditional Victorian home which reflects how its protagonist experiences interior privacy, and Mrs Dalloway explores a more modern domesticity that challenges Victorian organisation of the home and in turn, women’s access to privacy and solitude. With modernity public life was made available for women to a larger extent, but just as public life is coded by power relations, so is private life, which determines what sort of life could be lived by, for example, women.

Full textAbstract:
The dawn of the eighteenth century in the Apalachicola delta region of the Florida panhandle was a time of major social upheaval that has been underexplored by current research. There are no historic records that describe the events and peoples in the region during establishment of the Spanish missions in the Tallahassee area to the east. Archaeological evidence shows the disappearance of the late prehistoric Mississippian Fort Walton people and the brief emergence of the protohistoric Lamar archaeological culture during the time of the destruction of the Spanish mission system around 1704. The Lighthouse Bayou site, 8Gu114, in Gulf County, has both a Fort Walton and a Lamar component, and therefore offers an opportunity to understand this tumultuous time period better. Comparison of the ceramics shows a transition from incised rectilinear scrolling motifs during Fort Walton to a series of incised and stamped designs, along with the emergence of check-stamping as common surface decorations during Lamar. Temper choices are further indicative: pottery of both components has extensive sand and grit tempering, with only limited shell- or grog-tempered vessels, suggesting that indigenous peoples here did not identify with the missionized Apalachee Indians. The lithic data, while limited, show that both the Fort Walton and Lamar inhabitants were more likely retouching existing tools rather than creating new ones; however, the proportion of flake types suggest that the Lamar inhabitants may have exploited chert to a greater extent than did their Fort Walton counterparts. The faunal data show considerable difference in food source exploitation strategies. The Fort Walton inhabitants used the Lighthouse Bayou site specifically to procure shellfish and fish, while the Lamar inhabitants made use of a wider variety of protein sources throughout the area. These differences suggest a contrast between the two time periods: Fort Walton existed under the relatively stable aegis of the late prehistoric Mississippian era. The Lamar people, while not Apalachee Indians, must have been another group fleeing the conflict amid the destruction of the Spanish missions and the general social collapse in Florida’s early eighteenth century.

Beacon is a short, relatively low production value screenplay about two people coming to know each other better, about them coming to know themselves better and to grow as human beings. When Kate Clarence realizes she’s discovered the journal of her favorite pen-named author from childhood—“C. Rimes”—she embarks on a journey to return it to him, whoever he is. She’s delinquent on her rent, her bookshop’s failing, she’s far from her landlocked Midwest home and family, and she’s single; the obligation to return the journal is a welcomed adventure and reprieve. However, when she comes to the conclusion that C. Rimes meant for her to find the journal because he’s in love with her and wants to reveal who he is to the world, the situation gets complicated. A lighthouse on the coast of Maine will beckon her to a special meeting with the mysterious C. Rimes and serve as her guiding light while she gropes through the dark to find him—and who he is.

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas<br>O antigo farol de Maceió , o primeiro de Alagoas, foi construído em 1856 no morro do Jacutinga, atual bairro do Farol, e lá permaneceu por quase cem anos. A fatídica tromba d água ocorrida em maio de 1949 ocasionou a perda do antigo farol e por conseqüência a construção do atual farol da cidade em 1951 no bairro do Jacintinho; contudo, admitimos que, apesar da ausência física, permaneceram a relação de apropriação simbólica e a experiência urbana que o antigo farol manteve com Maceió e o bairro que nomeou. Visando contribuir para o entendimento da história da cidade de Maceió e do seu espaço urbano, esta dissertação desenvolve um estudo sobre a participação do farol de Maceió na formação e construção das memórias do bairro do Farol, e como se deu sua apropriação simbólica e espacial no local onde foi construído, e sua decorrente relação histórica com Maceió. A partir da análise de documentos escritos e iconográficos, pesquisados nos arquivos públicos da cidade, e depoimentos de antigos moradores do bairro do Farol, esta dissertação defende que o farol de Maceió transcendeu a sua natureza náutica e marcou permanentemente a memória, o espaço e a história de Maceió. Em suma, para além do guia dos navegantes, o farol de Maceió foi monumento da cidade e símbolo de um bairro, resultado da apropriação dos habitantes e dos processos sociais de construção do urbano.

Full textAbstract:
In the early 20th century, authors increasingly experimented with literary techniques striving towards two common aims: to illumine the inner life of their protagonists and to diverge from conventional forms of literary representations of reality. This shared endeavour was sparked by changes in society: industrialisation, developments in psychology, and the gradual decay of empires, such as the Victorian (1837–1901) and the Austro-Hungarian (1867–1918). Those developments yielded a sense of uncertainty and disorientation, which led to a so-called “turn [inwards]” in the arts (Micale 2). In this context, this essay examines Virginia Woolf’s (1882–1941) development of her literary technique by comparing To the Lighthouse (1927), written in free indirect discourse, with Arthur Schnitzler’s (1862–1932) Fräulein Else (1924), written in interior monologue. Instead of applying Freud’s theories of consciousness, I will demonstrate how empiricist psychology informed and partly helped shape the two narrative techniques by referring to Ernst Mach’s (1838–1916) idea of the unstable self, and William James’ (1842–1910) concept of the stream of consciousness. Furthermore, I will show that there is a continuous progression of literary ideas from Schnitzler’s Viennese fin-de-siècle connected to impressionism, towards Woolf’s Bloomsbury aesthetics connected to Paul Cézanne’s post-impressionist logic of sensations. In addition to that, I address how the women’s movement, starting in the end of the 19th century, inspired Woolf and Schnitzler to utilise their techniques as a means of revealing women’s restricted position in society. Methodologically, I will analyse the two novels’ narrative techniques applying close reading and by that point out their differences and similarities in connection to the above-mentioned theories as well as the two author’s literary approaches. I argue that this comparison demonstrates that modernist literary techniques of representing interiority evolved from interior monologue towards free indirect discourse. This progression also implicates that modernism can be seen as a continuum reaching back to the fin-de-siècle and culminating in the 1920s.

The notion of subjectivity is explored within theoretical existentialism and then applied to Woolf's life and her moment of awakening to subjectivity. To the Lighthouse is examined theoretically and textually to demonstrate Woolf's philosophy of literary subjectivity.

Full textAbstract:
Because little was known about how the masonry lighthouses constructed during the 19th century at exposed locations around the British Isles were responding to wave action, the dynamic response of the Eddystone lighthouse under wave impacts was investigated. Like other so called 'rock lighthouses', the Eddystone lighthouse was built on top of a steep reef at a site that is fully submerged at most states of the tide. Consequently, the structure is exposed to loading by unbroken, breaking and broken waves. When the breaking occurs, wave loading leads to complex phenomena that cannot be described theoretically due to the unknown mixture of air and water involved during the wave-structure interaction. In addition, breaking waves are generally distinguished from unbroken and broken wave due to the fact that they cause impulsive loads. As a consequence, the load effects on the structural response require a dynamic analysis. In this investigation the dynamic response of the Eddystone lighthouse is investigated both in the field and by means of a small-scale model mounted in a laboratory wave channel. In particular, field data obtained by the use of geophones, cameras and a wave buoy are presented together with wave loading information obtained during the laboratory tests under controlled conditions. More than 3000 structural events were recorded during the exceptional sequence of winter storms that hit the South-West of England in 2013/2014. The geophone signals, which provide the structural response in terms of velocity data, are differentiated and integrated in order to obtain accelerations and displacements respectively. Dynamic responses show different behaviours and higher structural frequencies, which are related to more impulsive loads, tend to exhibit a predominant sharp peak in velocity time histories. As a consequence, the structural responses have been classified into four types depending on differences of ratio peaks in the time histories and spectra. Field video images indicate that higher structural frequencies are usually associated with loads caused by plunging waves that break on or just in front of the structure. However, higher structural velocities and accelerations do not necessarily lead to the largest displacements of around a tenth of mm. Thus, while the impulsive nature of the structural response depends on the type of wave impact, the magnitude of the structural deflections is strongly affected by both elevation of the wave force on the structure and impact duration, as suggested by structural numerical simulations and laboratory tests respectively. The latter demonstrate how the limited water depth strongly affects the wave loading. In particular, only small plunging waves are able to break on or near the structure and larger waves that break further away can impose a greater overall impulse due to the longer duration of the load. As a consequence of the depth limited conditions, broken waves can generate significant deflections in the case of the Eddystone lighthouse. However, maximum accelerations of about 0.1g are related to larger plunging waves that are still able to hit the lighthouse with a plunging jet. When compared to the Iribarren number, the dimensionless irregular momentum flux proposed by Hughes is found to be a better indicator concerning the occurrence of the structural response types. This is explained by the fact that the Iribarren number does not to take into account the effects of the wide tidal range at the Eddystone reef, which has a strong influence on the location of the breaking point with respect to the lighthouse. Finally, maximum run up were not able to rise up to the top of the lighthouse model during the laboratory tests, despite this having been observed in the field. As a consequence, the particular configuration of the Eddystone reef and the wind could have a considerable bearing and exceptional values of the run up, greater than 40 m, cannot be excluded in the field.

I believe that through the different temporalities of the characters, the section “Time Passes” may acquire a different meaning in the novel. This section is the one which brings to light the differences among the times lived by the characters; therefore, I propose that the temporalities exposed in this section surpass the boundaries given by the structure of the novel. In this way, the time of Time Passes outstrips the whole novel; thus gaining an organic relevance, changing our perception of the form of the literary work. From my point of view, Time Passes overcomes the structural

Full textAbstract:
<p>This essay focuses on female identity formation in patriarchal society in Virginia Woolf’s <em>To The Lighthouse </em>and Sylvia Plath’s <em>The Bell Jar</em>. Both authors portray female characters who struggle with the normative gender identity. As the novels represent different eras and locations, the two characters examined in this essay, Woolf’s Lily Briscoe and Plath’s Esther Greenwood, have very little in common on the surface. However, both authors deliver similar feminist social criticism concerning the negative impact of patriarchal norms on female identity formation. This study analyzes some of these external constraints, or norms, and aims to prove that the two female characters’ ideas of womanhood and identity collide in a similar manner with those norms. Schachter’s study on identity constraints in identity formation and Sanchez and Crocker’s research on gender ideals work as the theoretical background in the study. The negative influence on Lily’s and Esther’s identity formation is similar since both characters live under a symbolical bell jar, unable to form their identity according to their own preferences. Patriarchal conventions remain a constant constraint and the two women keep struggling to find a balance between their own ideas and those of their societies. Both Lily and Esther grow to understand their own traits, desires and abilities in their respective stories, but fail to reach their preferred identity. Their resistance to adapt to gender conventions helps them to form a stronger identity, but it is an identity that remains profoundly and negatively influenced by the patriarchal norms of their societies.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Exploitation of areas and natural resources in arctic and sub-arctic areas makes guidelines for designing structures exposed to ice-forces a necessity. Ice actions on a structure include both static and dynamic components, and methods to calculate the magnitude of the ice loads are given in several common design codes. The static load component is constant and dependent on structure geometry and ice thickness, while dynamic loading is given in the design codes as time varying forcing functions. In the winter of 1985 Björnklacken lighthouse, located north in the Bothnian Bay, was overloaded by ice forces and displaced along the seabed. A numerical model has been created using the FEA software package ABAQUS to determine the static response and the structural properties of Björnklacken. The structural properties have further been used in the analysis of a single degree of freedom (SDOF)-system to determine dynamic response. The static and dynamic ice load components given by common design codes have been applied to both the numerical model and the SDOF-system. Initial calculations revealed large differences between the predicted loads from the different codes. Dynamic analysis showed that the response caused by a harmonic forcing function was significantly higher than that which was caused by a sawtooth forcing function. Results also showed that the amplitude of the dynamic forcing function is reduced if the structure’s velocity at loading point is scaled as a ratio of the ice velocity. The reduction is more severe with lower damping, resulting in higher reductions in systems with low damping fractions. Given the close relation between velocity at waterline and dynamic response, a recommendation is that guidelines for velocity scaling should be included in all of the design codes.

Full textAbstract:
Geotourism associated with urban environments can draw tourists to natural geoheritage features such as caves, outcrops of significant geology and cultural sites located close to or within cities. Geotourism experiences that lend themselves to the appreciation of geology in the urban environment often involve observing the varieties of building stones and structures in the built environment and capitalising on historic or iconic structures, which are major tourist attractions in world cities. Inspired by the diverse geology contained within the stone walls of the Quality Lighthouse Hotel, Bunbury WA, the purpose of this thesis is to provide a geotourism focused interpretation of three urban sites with potential geological interest within the city of Bunbury. Initially, four international case studies are presented to highlight the spectrum of geotourism experiences offered within the urban environment. Secondly, the abiotic features, geology, geomorphology and deep time of the four key building stones of the Quality Lighthouse Hotel are considered. The closing sections detail the cultural inspiration and influence that the stones have had on diverse groups of people who have participated in shaping the city of Bunbury. Cultural topics featured include mid-century architecture, European settlement and Noongar people’s connections with and uses of the Southwest regions’ landscape and geology.

Full textAbstract:
Le 27 juin 1925, alors qu'elle travaillait a la redaction de to the lighthouse, virginia woolf indiquait dans son journal qu'elle souhaitait "inventer un nouveau nom pour (ses) livres" : au lieu de "romans", elle ecrirait desormais des "elegies". Derivee de la lamentation que les grecs prononcaient a l'occasion d'un deuil, l'elegie permet a l'endeuille de sortir de la melancolie. Son operation depend de l'intervention divine de la nature interpellee par le poete. A sa structure ternaire, elle associe un refrain et des jeux d'echos qui suppleent l'absence de l'aulos, de la flute, au son de laquelle etaient accompagnees les elegies de la grece antique. Allusions, citations et motifs mythologiques y abondent. A la renaissance, on assiste a un recentrage de l'elegie sur elle-meme : elle interroge l'acte d'ecrire lui-meme. Aussi la consolation prend-elle valeur d'affirmation de la capacite du langage a exprimer le reel. Deux traditions s'affrontent alors. La tradition pastorale fait de l'intervention divine de la nature le prealable necessaire a l'atteinte de la consolation. S'opposent ici deux courants : l'un, d'inspiration pre-chretienne, debouche sur la consolation; l'autre, d'inspiration paienne, nie la faculte du poete a dire le vrai et le plein, elle le condamne a la melancolie. Fondee sur le rejet d'une consolation qui procede de l'affirmation arbitraire de l'existence divine, la tradition spirituelle fait de la mise a l'epreuve de la foi du poete la condition indispensable a la reconnaissance de l'integrite du langage. To the lighthouse, the waves et the years naissent entre les deux guerres, a une epoque ou, pour reprendre le mot de malcolm bradbury, la nature est desormais percue comme "agressive". En meme temps qu'il faudra montrer si ces trois romans meritent le titre d'elegies, il faudra egalement determiner si celles-ci se rattachent a la tradition spirituelle ou a la tradition pastorale, auquel cas l'atteinte de la consolation parait d'emblee interdite<br>On june 27th, 1925, at the time she was working on to the lighthouse, virginia woolf noted in her diary her wish "to invent a new word for (her) books to supplant 'novel'", the word "elegy". The elegy derives from the ritual lament the greeks used to sing so as to commemorate their dead. Its celebration enables the bereaved to escape from melancholy and its operation depends on the divine intervention of nature called upon by the poet. The ternary structure of the elegy is allied to a refrain and echoes fulfilling the function primarily performed by the flute - the aulos - which used to accompany the elegies of antique greece. Allusions, quotations and mythological motifs abound. At the renaissance, the elegy became its own subject : it focused on the act of writing itself. The consolation it provided made one with the affirmation of the capacity of language to convey meaning. Two traditions took root then. The pastoral tradition recognized the divine intervention of nature as indispensable to the providing of consolation. In a pre-christian current, the faculty of the poet to express the real was affirmed whereas it was denied in a pagan current where the poet was condemned to melancholy. At the opposite end, the spiritual tradition was based on the rejection of a consolation that was the result of the arbitrary affirmation of any divine existence. For a poet like donne, the operation of consolation implied the poet's discovery of the authenticity of faith under trial. To the lighthouse, the waves and the years were written between the two wars when nature, to use malcolm bradbury's word, came to be perceived as "aggressive". The purpose of this thesis is to define whether these three novels can be called "elegies" and to determine if they are spiritual or pastoral elegies - which would therefore mean that no consolation can be reached

Full textAbstract:
In 2017, of the 6.4 million boys and girls in Zimbabwe, 4.9 million lived in poverty, including 1.5 million in extreme poverty, and these children mostly come from households where adults are unemployed (ZIMSTAT, 2018). Poverty and environmental risks present the biggest threat to children in the form of pollution, violence, poor sanitation, poor diets and a lack of access to rights like education, health and a safe living environment. However, whilst children can be the biggest casualty of poverty and environmental risks, they have the agency to reduce the impact of poverty and environmental risks through their participation in designing, implementing and the monitoring and evaluation of programmes aimed at mitigating poverty and environmental risks.
The goal of the study was to explore and describe how children’s agency is recognised and respected in programmes/interventions aimed at reducing poverty and environmental risks in the Education for Income Programme at the Lighthouse Institute, Harare. The study adopted a qualitative research approach; it was exploratory and applied and the research design was an instrumental case study. The sample for the study was purposively chosen and included five key informants and five child participants from the Education for Income programme at the Lighthouse Institute. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and the data was analysed using thematic analysis.
The findings revealed that children are vulnerable to poverty and environmental risks and this vulnerability, together with lack of knowledge, violation of rights, lack of education, culture and the perception of children, have hindered the full participation of children in mitigating poverty and environmental risks. However, it was also found that children have agency and have the capacity to fully participate in mitigating poverty and environmental risks when they are empowered and understand the scope of their participation and their rights.
The study concluded that children should not be defined by their vulnerability and need for protection, but rather by their agency to make a contribution in matters that affect their lives. They should be recognised and respected by including them in all the phases of programmes intended to mitigate poverty and environmental risks. Recommendations made include creating awareness of the importance of child agency, adoption of policies that promote child agency and the use of a human rights-based approach when dealing with children.

Full textAbstract:
For thousands of years the migratory birds has travelled across the earth in the same directions and returns to the same places generation through generation. They navigate by the magnetic field of the earth, star constellations, polarized light and through a visual memory of the geological landmarks like the coastlines. After they have made their journey across open sea they need place for resting. Lista is the first outpost after the long distance over the North Sea. Lista Bird Observatory has been in operation since 1989. The bird observatory's premier task is to identify the existence and development of bird populations and to collect quantitative data on bird migration over time. The observatory is strategically located at the flyways for several migration birds. Ever since its establishment all observation data has been recorded and since 1990 the observatory also make standardized bird ringing. In Norway, this material constitutes unique time series for the presence of a large number of bird species. This project answers to the need of appropriate locations for the bird observatory. It creates conditions for a national and an international research and a platform for the Norwegian Ornithological Society. It also gives spaces for environmental education and information where the architecture emphasizes the landscape as well as the bird- and wildlife. Local residents and occasional visitors are given room for recreation and meeting places and the project connects to a Norwegian culture of experience tourism. It underlines the bird observatory's significance and creates a local and regional center for bird watching. The architecture creates a focus and an awareness of the surrounding landscape and alludes to a tradition of vistas but in the same time it offers the visitors to enter and explore the nature.<br>I tusentals år flyttfåglarna har rest över jorden i samma riktningar och återvänder till samma platser generation efter generation. De navigerar genom jordens magnetfält, stjärnbilder, polariserat ljus och genom ett visuellt minne av geografiska landmärken såsom kuststräckor och öar. Efter att de har gjort sin resa över öppet hav behöver de plats för vila. Lista är den första utposten efter den långa resan över Nordsjön. Lista fågelstation har varit verksam sedan 1989. Fågelstationens främsta uppgift är att kartlägga förekomsten och utvecklingen av fågelpopulationer samt att samla in kvantitativ data om flyttfåglar och deras rörelser över tid. Observatoriet är strategiskt beläget vid flyttsträckor för flertalet flyttfåglar. Ända sedan starten har alla observationsdata registrerats och sedan 1990 gör fågelstationen även standardiserade ringmärkning. I Norge utgör detta material unika tidsserier för förekomsten av ett stort antal fågelarter. Detta projekt svarar för behovet av ändamålsenliga lokaler för fågelstation. Det skapar förutsättningar för en nationell och internationell forskning och en plattform för Norsk Ornitologisk Förening. Det ger också utrymmen för miljöutbildning och miljöinformation där arkitekturen betonar landskapet samt fågel-och djurlivet. Lokala invånare och tillfälliga besökare ges rum för rekreation och mötesplatser och projektet ansluter till en norsk kultur av friluftsturism. Det understryker fågelstationens betydelse och skapar ett lokalt och regionalt centrum för fågelskådning. Arkitekturen skapar ett fokus och en medvetenhet om det omgivande landskapet och anspelar på en norsk tradition av vyer men erbjuder på samma gång besökarna att stiga ut i och uppleva naturen.

Karlsson, Heidi Maria. "Integration of Social Responsibility into the Norwegian Environmental Certification Scheme Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) : A comparison with ISO 26000 Guidance on social responsibility." Thesis, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, Institutt for industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-15829.
Full textAbstract:
Eco-Lighthouse (Miljøfyrtårn) is a Norwegian environmental certification scheme adminis-trated by the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation (Stiftelsen Miljøfyrtårn). In connection with the release of ISO 26000 – Guidance on social responsibility, the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation is considering the possibility of integrating more social responsibility into the certification scheme. The Eco-Lighthouse scheme consists of 72 sets of requirements, as per April 16, 2010. The first set of requirements – Requirements for all branches (Krav til alle bransjer) – applies to all organisations regardless of activity. The remaining 71 sets of requirements consist of branch specific requirements. For an organisation to get an Eco-Lighthouse certification it needs to fulfil Requirements for all branches as well as at least one set of branch specific requirements.The aim of this study is to investigate to what extent the content of ISO 26000 can be found in the branch requirements of the Eco-Lighthouse scheme. Due to the time limitation of the study only three sets of requirements are investigated; Requirement for all branches and branch specific requirements for Office activities and Main offices.The method chosen for investigation is a mixture of three different analysis methods. Docu-ment analysis to examine the content of ISO 26000 and identify criteria that can be compared with Eco-Lighthouse requirements, thematic analysis is used to link Eco-Lighthouse require-ments to ISO 26000 criteria, and gap analysis is used to highlight the differences between the two standards.ISO 26000 is organised in seven core subjects; Organisational governance, Human rights, Labour practices, The environment, Fair operating practices, Consumer issues, and Commu-nity involvement and development. The core subjects are subdivided into issues, except in the case of Organisational governance. The Eco-Lighthouse requirements investigated in this study can mainly be found in three core subjects; Organisational governance, The environ-ment, and Labour practices. Within the core subject The environment, Eco-Lighthouse score highest in the issues: Prevention of pollution and Sustainable resource use. Within Labour practices, an especially high score is found in Health and safety at work since many of the requirements are based on Norwegian laws and regulations.The main focus of the Eco-Lighthouse scheme is on environmental issues relating to internal processes of the organisation. That is management, working environment for the employees, purchasing and material use, energy consumption, transportation, and emission and waste management. There is also some focus on upstream suppliers in the value chain but nothing concerning the downstream end of the value chain. There are many environmental impacts connected with the use phase and end-of-life phase of a product. This corresponds to the ISO 26000 core subject of consumer issues.The result of the analysis was presented and discussed together with representatives of Fokus Bank, who were participating in the development of the branch requirements for main offices. In their opinion it is important to focus on the whole value chain and therefore they would like to see requirements which ensure that companies take responsibility for their products and services even after they have left the company, i.e. when used by costumers and finally dis-carded. However, it is also important that the implementation of those requirements focuses on essentials. If the cost of implementing actions to meet the requirements is too high in rela-tion to the environmental and societal benefits, companies might as well refrain from certify-ing themselves.As a provider of an environmental certification scheme, the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation is recommended to extend the scheme to include producer responsibility for products and ser-vices provided by the certified organisations. The Eco-Lighthouse Foundation is also recom-mended to clearly define how far social responsibility reaches for an environmental certifica-tion scheme. Today the Eco-Lighthouse scheme includes requirements concerning working conditions for employees, which are not considered an environmental issue in ISO 26000. A possible solution would be to develop a new scheme concerning social responsibility. This would be especially beneficial if the Eco-Lighthouse Foundation decides to extend their certi-fication service further into non-environmental issues.
