Resumen

This thesis discusses methods to measure several atmospheric parameters related to turbulence. Techniques used by two different scintillometers based on weak turbulence theory are discussed along with a method to estimate the inner scale developed by Hill. The theory and minimization algorithm used to infer the atmospheric parameters are discussed. The main focus is on the analysis and collection of experimental data with a three-aperture receiver system. Intensity fluctuations from a CW laser source are collected over a 1km path with three different receiving apertures. The scintillation index is found for each receiving aperture and recently developed theory for all regimes of optical turbulence is used to infer three atmospheric parameters, Cn2, l0, and L0. The transverse wind speed is also calculated from the experimental data using a cross-correlation technique. Parallel to the three-aperture data collection is a commercial scintillometer unit which reports Cn2 and crosswind speed. There is also a weather station positioned at the receiver side which provides point measurements for temperature and wind speed. The Cn2 measurement obtained from the commercial scintillometer is used to infer l0, L0, and the scintillation index. Those values are then compared to the inferred atmospheric parameters from the experimental data. Hill's method is used as an estimate to l0 based upon path-averaged wind speed and is compared to the inferred l0 values. The optimal aperture sizes required for three-aperture data collection are presented. In closing, the technique for measuring crosswind speed is discussed along with the ideal aperture size and separation distance for data collection. Suggestions are offered for future experimentation.

Resumen

Postsecondary financial aid (including scholarship awards) in the United States are as complicated and diverse in their function as they are in their long-term implications and outcomes. Through an examination of third party scholarships and the students who receive them, this study seeks to understand the dynamic intersection between a student's contextual environment, motivation and agency by analyzing students' interpretations of themselves and their place within the larger financial and scholarship context. The Self-Determination Theory (SDT) of human motivation and Deil-Amen & Tevis' (2010) circumscribed agency framework form the theoretical foundation of this study. The main contributions of this study include a description of how third party scholarships fit into the larger financial aid picture, an index of what eligibility components constitute third party scholarships, the creation of Third Party Scholarship Recipient Typology, and a synthesis of theory that informs future policy and practice.

Resumen

With the growth of the Latino population in the United States on the rise and the limited number of bilingual Spanish social workers, it is critical to explore the Master of Social Work student’s self-perceived competency in Spanish skills and the support they receive. These are the emerging professionals that will be interacting and providing services for Latinos in our communities. Exploring and understanding the challenges students encounter, their self-perceived competency, and how students can be supported, will be beneficial not only to them but also to Latino clients seeking services in Spanish. Providing appropriate services in Spanish may alleviate the language barrier that many Latinos are concerned about when seeking services. This research utilized a mixed methods design with self-administered surveys and interviews conducted and analyzed with SPSS and transcriptions. The study findings suggest that bilingual Spanish-speaking Masters of Social Work students are not provided with adequate training, resources, and support from their MSW program or their field placements in order to provide high quality services to the Latino population. The study findings also suggest that not all bilingual individuals are comfortable with working with monolingual Spanish-speaking clients.

Three-channel monopulse tracking receiver systems are commonly used for high performance tracking of satellites, missiles, or aircraft to maximize the reception of data. Typically, the receiver in such systems are custom designed for their end purpose. This results in a high cost to cover the development, service, and support of a highly specialized piece of equipment. This paper covers the requirements and performance of a 3-channel monopulse tracking receiver assembled from commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment. Such a system provides an option for designing or upgrading tracking stations with the lower cost, larger support base, and greater system configuration choices that are available with COTS equipment.

Resumen

Background: Stroke affects 15 million people worldwide each year. The rehabilitation should be equal everywhere but that is not the case. Most evidence comes from research in high income countries and those circumstances may not be applied everywhere in the world. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the views of important elements of rehabilitation after stroke in clinical working physiotherapist and in lecturers in physiotherapy education in Thailand. Design: This study had a qualitative exploratory research design due to collection of data through six individual semi-structured in-person interviews. The data analysis was preceded by a content analysis and had an inductive approach. Result: The analysis terminated in eight categories and 30 subcategories that reflected what the interviewees considered important. Examples on these categories were physiotherapeutic modalities, education, cooperation and patients’ characteristics. It was of high importance the care was individualized and planned together with the patient. Education throughout the carrier were crucial to be able to give the patients the best care possible. Conclusion: This study showed that physiotherapists in Thailand perceived many different important elements in stroke rehabilitation in Thailand. The outcome was not just depending on the treatment itself, but on several factors that surrounded the patient and the rehabilitation. These studies need to be done to be able to see the variations in treatment and the approach the health-care have on stroke rehabilitation in different countries.
Bakgrund: Stroke drabbar ungefär 15 miljoner människor världen över varje år. Alla ska ha samma chans till rehabilitering och lika vård vart man än bor i världen, detta är dock inte fallet. Mycket utav den evidens som finns idag är framtagen i höginkomstländer och situationen där kan inte appliceras globalt. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka åsikter hos thailändska kliniskt arbetande fysioterapeuter och lärare inom fysioterapeutisk utbildning angående viktiga element vid rehabilitering efter stroke. Design: Studien bestod av sex individuella semistrukturerade intervjuer och hade en kvalitativ explorativ forskningsdesign. Insamlad data analyserades genom innehållsanalys med en induktiv inriktning. Resultat: I databearbetningen framtogs åtta kategorier och 30 subkategorier som speglade de intervjuobjekten ansåg var viktigt. Exempel på kategorier var fysioterapeutiska modaliteter, utbildning, samarbete samt patientens tillgångar. Det var av yttersta vikt att behandlingen var individualiserad och planerad tillsammans med patienten. Utbildning genom det yrkessamma livet var viktigt för att ge den bästa möjliga vården för patienten. Konklusion: Studien visade att fysioterapeuter i Thailand anser att det finns många viktiga element inom strokerehabilitering. Utfallet på rehabiliteringen berodde inte endast på själva behandlingen utan även på en mängd andra faktorer som fanns i patientens omgivning samt inom rehabiliteringen. Fler studier inom ämnet behövs för att se hur synen på rehabilitering och vården samt hur själva rehabiliteringen skiljer sig mellan olika länder.

Resumen

Introduction: Prevalence studies show that fewer girls are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) than boys. This difference is particularly marked where there is no cognitive impairment. Some suggest that ASCs present differently between males and females, perhaps leading to delayed diagnosis in girls. A review of the literature exploring sex/gender differences found that many studies have measured the severity of ASC symptoms rather than the quality of difference. Limited research has considered the perspectives of parents on the signs noticed in their daughters and the context in which difference is noticed. Objective: This study sought to explore how parents make sense of their daughters’ behaviours and the processes by which behaviours are perceived as requiring intervention or diagnosis. Participants: Five parents whose daughters (aged 9-12 years) had recently received a diagnosis of an Autism Spectrum Condition without cognitive impairment were invited to tell their stories of diagnosis. Design: Transcripts were analysed using a narrative approach, focusing on how stories were told. Findings: Narrative themes were identified across transcripts in relation to the process by which behaviours are made sense of. Themes included: daughters only showing their ‘real self’ in safety; their distress peaking; parents questioning normality; and parents feeling blamed and unheard. Conclusions: The findings are discussed in relation to existing research and theory. Implications are discussed in relation to education and health services and UK policies. Further research into parents’ experience of judgement in relation to their child’s behaviour, and exploration of interventions for masking in girls is needed.

Resumen

Few studies have focused on gaining the views and experiences of primary aged children with the highest level of SEN – those with Statements of SEN (SSEN) or Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs). This exploratory study aimed to understand from the perspective of children with moderate or general learning difficulties what they think of school, the additional support they receive, and what they would change about it in the future. It also aimed to investigate the extent to which these children are involved in the decision-making process around their provision and whether their views are considered. Six children were interviewed using pictorial prompts and the data were transcribed and analysed thematically from a social constructivist standpoint. The study found that the pupils with SSEN or EHCPs held generally positive views of schools, preferred creative subjects, but experienced a range of difficulties at school. Friends and the support of a considerate adult were viewed as important elements of school. However, close TA support and appearing different from their learning-abled peers seems to promote physical isolation, a lack of agency and bullying. Pupils placed more value on support linked to developing their interaction skills rather than support that helped them to learn, or support related to changes in their environment. Overall, the most valued support was ‘Working with different adults’. The most important change for children was a desire to have more opportunities to interact with their peers within the learning environment. The children showed mixed experiences of being involved with decision-making at the school, but generally findings showed that children were mostly left out of decision-making. These developments have the potential to inform schools, EPs and other professionals' practice. Additionally, this study highlights the difficulties that schools face over inclusion and provides readers with thoughts on the actual level of inclusion for some pupils with a SSEN or EHCP.

Resumen

Background: People with an intellectual disability often require carers to provide assistance in their basic living needs and to help them achieve the best quality of life possible. The increased prevalence of dementia in people with an intellectual disability over recent years has prioritised the importance of research into the impact this has had on people with an intellectual disability with dementia, their carers, and their support services. There has been a lack of qualitative studies investigating the experiences of carers for people with an intellectual disability and dementia and their perceptions of services that support them to carry out their role. These carers fulfil an important need within the community and this study explored family and paid carers’ experiences of caring for people who have an intellectual disability with dementia. Method: This paper describes a qualitative study that used semistructured interviews to investigate both paid and family carer’s experiences of caring for people with an intellectual disability with dementia. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 carers and the resulting data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The analysis generated 9 meta-themes including a carer’s identity, transitions in the carer experience, self-care, difficulties in caring, changes to services, recommendations for change, barriers to accessing carer support, sources of support and resources, and sharing carers’ best practice. Conclusions: The implications of the results are discussed and recommendations for future research are provided.

Resumen

Languages within one language family may be so closely related that their speakers often communicate, each using their own language. This phenomenon was investigated in African, Germanic and Romance languages and coined as semicommunication by Haugen (1966), and later became receptive multilingualism by Braunmü
ller (2002). This research attempts to find out if receptive multilingual communication is possible in Slavonic languages (Polish, Russian and Ukrainian). Besides, it was a great importance to define whether the success of communication is symmetric among the speakers of the mentioned languages. Finally, various cases of problematic understanding were analyzed with the main emphasis on the speakers&rsquo
strategies when they try to overcome reception problems. Methodically, 4 Russian-Ukrainian, 4 Polish-Ukrainian and 4 Polish-Russian conversations were recorded with the use of digital camera. Cases of problematic understanding were defined and transcribed with Exmaralda program, Partitur editor. Number of problematic utterances in relation to total number of utterances in discourse was the measure of communication success in each language constellation. In order to see the overall picture of how receptive multilingualism works in the three languages and in each constellation separately, the statistic research was done with SPSS program. The findings of the research revealed that receptive multilingual communication among Polish, Russian and Ukrainian speakers is generally successful, however, not symmetric with respect to understanding degree in different constellations.

Resumen

This thesis traces the origins of the Great Game, a geopolitical conflict between the British and Russian Empires in Central Asia to the intellectual and constitutional construction of 'British India' after the Battle of Plassey in 1757. Using a diverse range of ideas and facets of British and Indian society it will examine how the East India Company, the Mughal Empire and the domestic British state all contributed to the development of the Great Game in the middle of the nineteenth century. By examining how British politicians and scholars interpreted the nature of British sovereignty and government in Bengal, it will demonstrate that once the East India Company had secured territorial domain in India, its employees set about interpreting many of the political, legal and religious ideas and traditions of Indian society in a way that made them more governable for Britons. This exercise in intellectual imperialism, in turn, had many unforeseen consequences, one of which was a propensity to expand the British Indian state into the rest of the subcontinent. This paper uses a variety of primary sources and the rich historiography of British India from recent decades to examine and evaluate this interesting and important episode.

Within the industry, telemetry receivers are used in ground-based telemetry receiving stations to receive telemetry data from air or space-based sources. Equipment for the typical telemetry application is widely available. But when requirements create the need for a space-based telemetry receiver to uplink data from the ground, what are the choices for equipment? In such situations, adapting COTS equipment may present the only solution to meet delivery and budgetary constraints. The first part of this paper provides technical and contractual points a COTS supplier needs to consider when bidding on a COTS contract. The second part of this paper covers a project concerned with modification of a general-purpose ground telemetry receiver for use on the International Space Station. The information within the paper is useful to other engineers and companies considering contracts to modify COTS equipment for use on Shuttle or other space-based projects.

Resumen

Studies of the relationship between American law and Chinese migrants in the nineteenth century have focused upon the legal, administrative, and social effects of the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882), elite merchant use of contract law, and the failure of law enforcement to address or prevent mass anti-Chinese violence by whites in the mid-1880s. The literature has neglected, however, detailed inquiry into the practices of everyday law, or the legal resolutions of mundane, small stakes conflicts in specific local contexts. For Port Townsend, Washington Territory, study of the practice of law during the territorial period reveals that in this locality, Chinese litigants of transient or labourer status could access the court to recoup unpaid debts and, rarely, to redress instances of everyday violence. The professionals of the courts - judges, clerks, and lawyers - as well as juries of whites from the community, all regularly granted Chinese defendants and litigants their rights to testimony and due process throughout the territorial period. This is significant because the court system granted the rights even during moments of anti-Chinese political power, which shielded some defendants from the effects of racially targeted municipal ordinances. The evidence also shows that coercive and punitive aspects of migrant-official legal relations, including the refusal to grant a defendant's rights, did not enter into other areas of law beyond the charges under the Exclusion Act. It is also significant because indigenous peoples in Washington Territory (and, in Port Townsend itself, the Klallam and Chimakum) consistently endured far fewer rights and rights which changed more drastically within the American legal system at the same time, thus signalling that white Americans judged Chinese to be more like themselves than indigenous peoples. The unenthusiastic efforts of law enforcement to punish everyday violence against Chinese victims, however, shows that whites did not consider Chinese victims worth protecting except in cases where community actions clearly sanctioned official action.

Texto completo

Resumen

The research for this PhD project consisted in the application of the RFs analysis technique to different data-sets of teleseismic events recorded at temporary and permanent stations located in three distinct study regions: Colli Albani area, Northern Apennines and Southern Apennines. We found some velocity models to interpret the structures in these regions, which possess very different geologic and tectonics characteristics and therefore offer interesting case study to face. In the Colli Albani some of the features evidenced in the RFs are shared by all the analyzed stations: the Moho is almost flat and is located at about 23 km depth, and the presence of a relatively shallow limestone layer is a stable feature; contrariwise there are features which vary from station to station, indicating local complexities. Three seismic stations, close to the central part of the former volcanic edifice, display relevant anisotropic signatures with symmetry axes consistent with the emplacement of the magmatic chamber. Two further anisotropic layers are present at greater depth, in the lower crust and the upper mantle, respectively, with symmetry axes directions related to the evolution of the volcano complex. In Northern Apennines we defined the isotropic structure of the area, finding the depth of the Tyrrhenian (almost 25 km and flat) and Adriatic (40 km and dipping underneath the Apennines crests) Mohos. We determined a zone in which the two Mohos overlap, and identified an anisotropic body in between, involved in the subduction and going down with the Adiratic Moho. We interpreted the downgoing anisotropic layer as generated by post-subduction delamination of the top-slab layer, probably made of metamorphosed crustal rocks caught in the subduction channel and buoyantly rising toward the surface. In the Southern Apennines, we found the Moho depth for 16 seismic stations, and highlighted the presence of an anisotropic layer underneath each station, at about 15-20 km below the whole study area. The moho displays a dome-like geometry, as it is shallow (29 km) in the central part of the study area, whereas it deepens peripherally (down to 45 km); the symmetry axes of anisotropic layer, interpreted as a layer separating the upper and the lower crust, show a moho-related pattern, indicated by the foliation of the layer which is parallel to the Moho trend. Moreover, due to the exceptional seismic event occurred on April 6th next to L’Aquila town, we determined the Vs model for two station located next to the epicenter. An extremely high velocity body is found underneath AQU station at 4-10 km depth, reaching Vs of about 4 km/s, while this body is lacking underneath FAGN station. We compared the presence of this body with other recent works and found an anti-correlation between the high Vs body, the max slip patches and earthquakes distribution. The nature of this body is speculative since such high velocities are consistent with deep crust or upper mantle, but can be interpreted as a as high strength barrier of which the high Vs is a typical connotation.

Resumen

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: During the course of my work as Communications lecturer at a multicultural university, I have noticed differences in the manners in which Sesotho-speaking and Afrikaans-speaking students make the same requests to me while speaking English. There exists a possibility that these second language (L2) requests could be deemed inappropriate and/or unintelligible by first language (L1) speakers of English. It is possible that miscommunication may result when requests by one culture group is judged as inappropriate and/or unintelligible by another. The aims of my study were to investigate (i) whether there are indeed differences in the manners in which L1 Sesotho and L1 Afrikaans speakers make requests when speaking English and (ii) how the differences in the (a) politeness, (b) formalness, (c) appropriateness, (d) grammaticality and (e) intelligibility of these requests made by the above-mentioned two groups manifest, as judged by L1 speakers of English. In terms of research methodology, I elicited requests in English from two culturally and linguistically different groups of students (17 L1 Afrikaans and 17 L1 Sesotho) by means of a written scenario completion task. One scenario involved a high imposition situation and the other a low imposition. The requests made by the two groups were then analysed using the Cross Cultural Speech Act Realisation Project (CCSARP) framework of Blum-Kulka, House and Kasper (1989a). Each request was also judged by eight L1 English speakers. Data analysis showed that there are indeed differences in the way in which Afrikaans- and Sesotho-speaking people put forth English requests. In terms of CCSARP categories, the Sesotho speakers used more alerters and more politeness markers than the Afrikaans speakers did. Sesotho and Afrikaans speakers also differed in their responses to high and low imposition situations – for example, Sesotho speakers used more grounders in the low imposition request than in the high imposition request, whereas Afrikaans speakers’ requests showed the reverse pattern. In terms of ratings received by L1 speakers, although Sesotho speakers’ requests were judged as more polite, Afrikaans speakers’ requests were judged as more appropriate and grammatically correct. The findings have implications for curriculum design: By being mindful of the workings of intercultural verbal and nonverbal communication and by acknowledging that people from different cultural backgrounds bring to a conversation certain culturally inherited factors which influence them and the interlocutors, I can use the results of this study to better inform the different L1 groups in my classes how to change their requesting behaviour so as to make requests that are judged by L1 English speakers as being appropriate.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens my werk as Kommunikasie-dosent aan ‘n multikulturele universiteit het ek verskille opgelet in die manier waarop Sesotho-sprekende en Afrikaanssprekende studente dieselfde versoeke aan my rig wanneer hulle Engels praat. Die moontlikheid bestaan dat hierdie tweedetaal- (T2) versoeke as ontoepaslik en/of onverstaanbaar beskou kan word deur eerstetaal- (T1) sprekers van Engels. Dit is moontlik dat miskommunikasie kan ontstaan wanneer versoeke deur een kultuurgroep as ontoepaslik en/of onverstaanbaar beoordeel word deur ‘n ander kultuurgroep. Die doelstellings van my studie was om die volgende te ondersoek: (i) of daar inderdaad verskille bestaan in die manier waarop T1 Sesotho- en T1 Afrikaanssprekendes versoeke in Engels rig en (ii) hoe verskille in die (a) hoflikheid, (b) formeelheid, (c) toepaslikheid, (d) grammatikaliteit en (e) verstaanbaarheid van hierdie versoeke deur bogenoemde twee groepe manifesteer, soos beoordeel deur T1-sprekers van Engels. In terme van navorsingsmetodologie het ek versoeke in Engels van twee kultureel en talig verskillende groepe studente (17 T1 Afrikaans en 17 T1 Sesotho) ontlok deur gebruik te maak van ‘n geskrewe scenario-voltooiingstaak. Een scenario het ‘n versoek met ‘n hoë afdwingingsvlak (imposition) behels en die ander met ‘n lae afdwingingsvlak. Die versoeke gerig deur die twee groepe is toe geanaliseer deur gebruik te maak van die sogenaamde Cross Cultural Speech Act Realisation Project (CCSARP)-raamwerk van Blum-Kulka, House en Kasper (1989a). Elke versoek is ook deur agt T1-sprekers van Engels beoordeel. Data-analise het aangedui dat daar wel verskille is in die manier waarop Afrikaans- en Sesotho-sprekendes versoeke in Engels rig. In terme van CCSARP-kategorieë het die Sesotho-sprekendes meer attentmakers (alerters) en meer hoflikheidsmerkers as die Afrikaanssprekendes gebruik. Sesotho- en Afrikaanssprekendes het ook verskil in hul reaksie op hoë en lae imposisie-situasies – Sesotho-sprekendes het meer redeverskaffers (grounders) in die lae afdwingingsversoek as in die hoë afdwingingsversoek gebruik terwyl Afrikaanssprekendes die teenoorgestelde gedoen het. Alhoewel die Sesotho-sprekendes se versoeke as meer hoflik beskou is deur die T1-sprekende beoordelaars, is Afrikaanssprekendes se versoeke as meer toepaslik en grammatikaal korrek beskou. Die bevindinge het implikasies vir kurrikulum-ontwerp: Deur bewus te bly van die aard van interkulturele verbale en nie-verbale kommunikasie en deur te erken dat persone van verskillende kulturele agtergronde sekere kultuur-inherente faktore na ‘n gesprek toe bring wat hulle en hulle gespreksgenote beïnvloed, kan ek die resultate van hierdie studie gebruik om die verskillende T1-groepe in my klasse beter in te lig hoe om hul versoekgedrag aan te pas om versoeke te kan rig wat as toepaslik beskou word deur T1-sprekers van Engels.

Resumen

In today’s world the multi-standard wireless receivers are gaining more and more popularity. End-users want to access voice, data and streaming media from a single wireless terminal. An ideal approach for multi-standard receiver front-end is to digitize a wide band RF signal available from the antenna. All radio functions such as downconversion, demodulation and channel selection can be then performed in the digital domain. Analog to Digital Converter in such a case should guarantee very high linearity, speed and bandwidth specifications while consuming a lot of power. Unfortunately an ADC with such stringent requirements cannot be realized in today’s CMOS technology. In a typical receiver a mixer is used to downconvert the RF signal to baseband (or IF) before digitization is performed. A passive mixer is often used in this case to mitigate the effect of the low frequency flicker noise. Specially it can be a sampling mixer which also serves as a S/H circuit usually required for A/D conversion. In this thesis a lowpass sigma-delta converter with RF sampling is presented. The ΣΔ modulator is SC passive circuit plus comparator, so an operational amplifier usually needed to realize the integrator is avoided. To reduce the complexity, the sampling mixer in front of the modulator is merged with the passive loop filter. As a result the sampling mixer is closed in the modulator loop, so the overall linearity of the frontend is improved to some extent. Downconversion is combined with digitization that reduces the circuit complexity as well.The challenges while digitizing high frequency RF signal are discussed in details. Switches required to realize the loop filter are very critical and tend to be nonlinear. Parasitic effects associated with MOS transistors strongly show up at GHz frequencies. Optimized transistor sizes are obtained through simulation while addressing the speed and linearity trade-off. Another major challenge is the kT/C noise that is the real bottleneck in high frequency SC circuit design. A thermal noise model for ΣΔ-modulator with second-order loop filter is presented and it is shown that a passive ΣΔ-modulator is in fact thermal noise limited rather than quantization noise limited. It is because the capacitor values are limited by the very high sampling frequency used in this case.The downconverting lowpass ΣΔ modulator with second order SC passive loop filter and 1-bit quantizer is simulated at transistor level in 90nm CMOS process. This modulator can operate at very high sampling frequency upto 4GHz and can sample RF signal with carrier of upto 4GHz as well. The designed ΣΔ modulator is flexible and supports sub-sampling by 2 to 8 (fs = 500MHz, ... 2GHz). Besides, the presented design is very power efficient as it does not use OpAmps – which consume most of the power in the typical ΣΔ modulators. From schematic simulation on average, signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) of 52 dB is obtained (ENOB = 8.3). SNDR results does not vary much for three different cases of baseband digitalization, RF sampling and RF sub-sampling. This SNDR value seems to be a good number for a passive sigma-delta modulator. The detailed simulation results for the three cases discussed in the thesis work shown that, the modulator performs equally well for a wide range of sampling and RF signal frequencies.

Resumen

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited mechanobullous disorders characterised by trauma induced blistering. One of the most severe subtypes is recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). RDEB is due to loss of function mutations in the gene encoding type VII collagen (COL7A1), one of the main constituents of anchoring fibrils anchoring the basement membrane to the underlying dermis. There is no cure for this devastating condition although promising pre-clinical studies for strategies using genetic correction, protein replacement, cell therapy or drug therapies are underway. Reconstitution of COL7A1 expression in both keratinocyte and fibroblast cell populations has been demonstrated using ex vivo gene therapy and hypothesised to lead to new anchoring fibril formation and amelioration of disease phenotype. Feasibility of this approach had been demonstrated in pre-clinical studies using a retroviral vector, and this work details the development of a phase 1 clinical trial to graft an autologous gene corrected skin equivalent graft. Detailed analysis of a cohort of adult patients with RDEB was performed in order to identify suitable trial candidates. In addition, an alternative strategy using a lentiviral vector encoding codon-optimised COL7A1 developed in order to transduce fibroblasts to be administered intradermally was developed. Expression and secretion of full-length de novo C7 was confirmed, with transduced cells exhibiting increased levels of protein expression despite only modest transduction efficiencies. This work details the journey and obstacles encountered in developing gene therapy clinical trials for RDEB, both through the development of a phase 1 study for an autologous gene corrected skin equivalent graft as well as a phase I study of intradermal autologous gene corrected fibroblasts.

Resumen

The Australian tax policy of assessing trusts and their beneficiaries has been buffeted by changes that have occurred over the last 10 years or so, chiefly in the rules that equity has adopted and applied in its restatement of the rights and interests that a beneficiary has in a trust. Broadly, the scheme of div 6 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 ?? the general provisions for assessing trustees and beneficiaries ?? has remained largely unaltered, its machinery has now become ill-suited to equity??s new jurisprudence concerning beneficiaries' interests in trusts. This thesis examines the rules that seek to identify in a beneficiary an interest that she or he has in a trust??s subject matter, and it questions whether the tax legislation is still adequate to work its policies in the light of changes in the rules of equity. Most pressing amongst them is the concept of present entitlement to income as a criterion for assessing beneficiaries of trusts on incomes derived by their trustees ?? at least before the income is physically paid or dealt with by the trustees so that there is some actual or constructive receipt by the beneficiary of that income. In addition to this, the thesis points to other difficulties that have arisen ?? largely because of changing jurisprudence ?? that portend the unworkability of the current tax policy. The proposition is that the only way to correct the present and forthcoming problems, and the tensions they will cause in the Australian tax system, is to abandon the conventional policy of seeking primarily to assess a beneficiary on a mere present entitlement, and instead to assess tax on physical distributions. Under this proposition, a beneficiary will no longer be assessed on anticipated distributions: she or he will now be assessed only on those distributions that are actually made thereto. Naturally enough, a number of other trust assessing issues are affected by the proposal, and the changes to them ?? largely in a way that makes them simpler ?? are proposed and submitted.

Resumen

Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves are widely used in medical decision making. It was recognized in the last decade that only a specific region of the ROC curve is of clinical interest, which can be summarized by the partial area under the ROC curve (partial AUC). Early statistical methods for evaluating partial AUC assume that the data are from a specified underlying distribution. Nonparametric estimators of the partial AUC emerged recently, but there are theoretical issues to be addressed. In this dissertation, we propose two new nonparametric statistics, partially integrated ROC and partially integrated weighted ROC, for estimating partial AUC. We show that our partially integrated ROC statistic is a consistent estimator of the partial AUC, and derive its asymptotic distribution which is distribution free under the null hypothesis. In the partially integrated ROC statistic, when the ROC curve crosses the Uniform distribution function (CDF) and if the partial area evaluated contains the crossing point, or when there are multiple crossing, the partially integrated ROC statistic might not perform well. To address this issue, we propose the partially integrated weighted ROC statistic. This statistic evaluates the partially weighted AUC, where larger weight is given when the ROC curve is above the Uniform CDF and smaller weight is given when the ROC curve is below the Uniform CDF. We show that our partially integrated weighted ROC statistic is a consistent estimator of the partially weighted AUC. We derive its asymptotic distribution which is distribution free under the null hypothesis. We propose to apply our two nonparametric statistics to functional category analysis in microarray experiments. We define the functional category analysis to be the statistical identification of over-represented functional gene categories in a microarray experiment based on differential gene expression. We compare our statistics with existing methods for the functional category analysis both via simulation study and application to a real microarray data, and demonstrate that our two statistics are effective for identifying over-represented functional gene categories. We also emphasize the essential role of the empirical distribution function plots and the ROC curves in the functional category analysis.

The objective of this work is to examine the level of bank credit in Brazil in the period after the Real Plan. To this, the work uses the Barajas and Steiner (2002) methodology but with a larger country sample (Brazil among nine Latin American countries and other forty outside Latin America). The results suggest that bank credit has not grown as expected and is still as volatile as the Latin America average. The size of the Brazilian banking system is not small as expected, but is less prone to lending to the private sector. Credit to the public sector still occupies a very important share of the Brazilian banking system balance sheet. About this matter the work shows that an increase in securitization could increase significantly the credit to the private sector.
O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o nível de crédito bancário no Brasil no período pós implantação do Plano Real. Para isso, o trabalho utiliza a metodologia de Barajas e Steiner (2002) mas utilizando uma amostra maior de países (além da economia brasileira, nove países da América Latina e quarenta não América Latina). Os resultados encontrados mostram que o crédito bancário historicamente não cresceu como o esperado e ainda é tão volátil quanto a média América latina. O sistema bancário não mostrou-se menor do que o esperado para a economia brasileira, mas é menos propenso ao crédito ao setor privado. O crédito ao setor público ainda ocupa uma fatia muito relevante no balanço do agregado bancário e sobre esse respeito o trabalho mostra que um aumento na securitização e cessão de crédito aumenta significativamente o crédito ao setor privado.

Resumen

Doctor Educationis
Ototoxic induced hearing loss is a common adverse event related to aminoglycosides used in Multi Drug Resistant -Tuberculosis treatment. Exposure to ototoxic drugs damages the structures of the inner ear. Symptomatic hearing loss presents as tinnitus, decreased hearing, a blocked sensation, difficulty understanding speech, and perception of fluctuating hearing, dizziness and hyperacusis/recruitment. The World Health Organization (1995) indicated that most cases of ototoxic hearing loss globally could be attributed to treatment with aminoglycosides. The aim of the study was to determine the proportion of DR-TB patients initiated on treatment at three decentralized sites during a defined period (1st October to 31st December 2015) who developed ototoxic induced hearing loss and the corresponding risk factors, whilst receiving audiological monitoring with an extended high frequency audiometer (KUDUwave). A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted. Cumulatively across the three decentralized sites, 69 patient records were reviewed that met the inclusion criteria of the study. The mean age of the patients was 36.1, with a standard deviation (SD) of 10.7 years; more than half (37) were female. Ototoxicity , a threshold shift, placing patients at risk of developing a hearing loss was detected in 56.5% (n=39)of patients and not detected in 30.4%(n=21).The remaining 13,1% (n=9)is missing data. As a result, the regimen was adjusted in 36.2% of patients. . From the 53 patients who were tested for hearing loss post completion of the injectable phase of treatment, 22.6% (n=12) had normal hearing, 17.0 % (n=9) had unilateral hearing loss, and 60.4% (n=32) had bilateral hearing loss. Therefore, a total of 41 patients had a degree of hearing loss: over 30% (n=22)had mild to moderate hearing loss, and only about 15% (n=11)had severe to profound hearing loss. Analysis of risk factors showed that having ototoxicity detected and not adjusting regimen significantly increases the risk of patients developing a hearing loss. The key findings of the study have shown that a significant proportion of DR-TB patients receiving an aminoglycoside based regimen are at risk of developing ototoxic induced hearing loss, despite receiving audiological monitoring with an extended high frequency audiometer that allows for early detection of ototoxicity (threshold shift).

Resumen

Most of the research exploring social communication has focused on the 'sender' perspective, examining how and why people choose to produce the cues they send to others. This thesis explores the experience of social interaction from the 'receiver' perspective. Broadly, this work examines how receivers perceive and interpret social cues and make social judgments, depending on senders' states and intentions. It relies on data from both laboratory-based experimentation and from naturalistic face-to-face interactions. The first section of the thesis examines how changing a receiver's internal social state, i.e., manipulating feelings of social 'need,' alters the utility or subjective desirability of a social reward, specifically, a genuine smile. My experimental findings show that high states of social need enhance the utility of genuine smiles and cause the devaluation of polite smiles - important social tokens in their own right. These findings extend to the face- to-face social environment, in which I show that this social state manipulation changes behaviour, including the use of smiles, and ultimately a dyad's shared experience. In the second part of this work, I explore how judgments receivers make about senders in one context influence their interpretation of the same senders in a new setting. I ask, for example, how the presence of different types of social cues shape receiver judgments and the extent to which these serve as useful and valid cues to future sender behaviour. Findings show that when receivers make judgments about senders in a naturalistic context, these judgments do not enhance their ability to decode senders' behaviour in a new setting. However, senders do signal some traits honestly, e.g., trustworthiness, and these traits induce biases in receiver interpretations. Specifically, senders' affective cues appear to bias receiver ratings such that expressions of positive affect induce more positive ratings for high trustworthy senders (although not for those merely rated as high trustworthy), and vice versa for low trustworthy senders. Finally, I ask whether a sender's prior beliefs about a receiver's behaviour can influence that receiver's behaviour in a specifically predictable way. I did this in the context of three "experimenter effects" studies. The results of this work show that experimenters unwittingly serve as stimuli in the experiments that they conduct, and can elicit specific behavioural patterns in their participants.

Resumen

Au sein du système complexe que constitue le climat, l'océan joue un rôle primordial. D'une part, il enregistre et intègre les effets du changement climatique; d'autre part, les échelles de temps de ses variations naturelles, et notamment son inertie thermique environ mille fois supérieure à celle de l'atmosphère, en font un acteur important susceptible de moduler les effets futurs du changement climatique. Cette thèse se propose de mettre en évidence des signatures du changement climatique d'origine anthropique dans l'océan. Pour cela, nous étudions les évolutions observées de la température océanique de sub-surface et de la salinité océanique de surface, au cours des trente à cinquante dernières années. Des méthodes statistiques de détection de la réponse au forçage anthropique sont utilisées pour déterminer si une influence humaine peut être détectée dans les changements récents observés.

Resumen

Nos últimos 20 anos ocorreram importantes transformações no mercado de trabalho que refletiram, também, sobre o emprego no setor público. Principalmente após a Reforma Administrativa da década de 1990, várias áreas do serviço público aproximaram-se do sistema geral de emprego. Mesmo assim, têm-se observado um aumento na procura pelo emprego no setor público, bem como por cursos preparatórios para concurso. Sendo assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar e analisar as razões que levam profissionais de nível superior a ingressarem no serviço público federal e a nele permanecerem, visando a contribuir para a elaboração de políticas de gestão de pessoas no setor. Além disto, buscou-se avaliar como percebem seu trabalho e o setor, de forma geral, e identificar os possíveis reflexos da Reforma Administrativa sobre o trabalho. O método utilizado foi o estudo de caso, recorrendo-se à observação, a entrevistas semiestruturadas, e à análise de documentos como técnicas de pesquisa. Na primeira etapa da pesquisa, optou-se por conhecer as impressões de donos ou coordenadores de três cursos preparatórios para concurso sobre o perfil e as expectativas de seus alunos, a fim de aprofundar-se no tema. Após, foram realizadas 28 entrevistas com auditores e analistas de uma unidade da Secretaria da Receita Federal do Brasil (RFB) e pôde-se, assim, comparar em que medida aproximam-se ou diferenciam-se do observado pelos donos/coordenadores de cursinhos. Os fatores comuns que levam à busca pelo emprego no setor incluem a estabilidade e a boa remuneração. Aspectos como natureza da atividade, relação com a formação, influência de familiares, desejo de redirecionar a carreira, possibilidade de ingressar via concurso público, status do órgão, busca por um trabalho com horário regular, ritmo menos intenso e cumprimento das garantias legais do trabalhador variaram conforme as trajetórias profissionais. Para permanecer no setor, os entrevistados consideram aspectos semelhantes àqueles que os fizeram ingressar, como a estabilidade e a boa remuneração, mas incluem outros que não lhes eram conhecidos, como o ambiente de trabalho amigável e pouco competitivo, bem como o trabalho em si. A preocupação com a aposentadoria começa a aparecer naqueles com mais anos de setor e passa a ser um dos fatores para que continuem. A possibilidade de poderem atuar em diferentes setores e em diferentes unidades destacou-se entre os aspectos para que permaneçam na RFB. Por outro lado, percebem, também, desvantagens de trabalhar no setor público, como a estagnação financeira e também na carreira.
In the last twenty years, important transformations occurred in the work market, which had also reflected on the public employment. Mainly after the Administrative Reform in the 1990‘s, some areas of the public service have become similar to the general system of job. Nevertheless it is noticed an increase in the search for job in the public sector, as well as for preparatory courses. Thus, this work had as objective verifying and analyzing the reasons that take professionals with higher education to enter the federal public service and those that make them remain there, aiming to contribute in the elaboration of human resources‘ politics in the sector. Moreover, it was sought to evaluate how they perceive their work and the sector and to identify the possible consequences of the Administrative Reform on the work. The utilized method was the case study, appealing to observation, to semi-structured interviews, and to document analysis as research techniques. In the first stage of the research, it was decided to get to know the impressions of owners or coordinators of three preparatory courses about profile and expectations of its pupils in order to go deeper into the subject. Later, 28 interviews with auditors and analysts of a unit of the The Brazilian Secretariat of the Federal Revenue of Brazil had been carried through enabling, thus, the researcher to compare in what extent they are alike or different to the observed by the coordinators/ owners of courses. The common factors that lead to the search for job in the sector include stability and good remuneration. Aspects as sort of activity, relation with formation, familiar influence, desire to redirect the career, possibility to enter by public contest, status, search for a work with regular schedule, less intense rhythm and fulfillment of the legal guarantees of the worker had varied according to the professional trajectories. To remain in the sector, the interviewed workers consider similar aspects to those which made them enter, like stability and good remuneration, but they also include others that were not known by them, such as the friendly environment and little competitive work, as well as work itself. The concern about retirement starts to appear in the ones with more years of sector and becomes one of the factors so that they continue. The possibility to be able to act in different sectors and different units was distinguished among the aspects that make them remain in the RFB. On the other hand, they also perceive disadvantages in working in the public sector, like financial and career stagnation.

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) occurs as a result of loss of function mutations in COL7A1, resulting in reduced/absent collagen VII deposition in the anchoring fibril adhesion structures at the dermal-epidermal junction. The condition is typified by severe trauma-induced blistering and cutaneous erosions from infancy and chronic wounds that progress to early aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) which are the main cause of death in this patient cohort. Thus far, the RDEB chronic inflammatory environment has not been characterised in detail nor is there any theoretical basis for the targeting of candidate genes or inflammatory biomarkers to reduce chronic inflammation that might halt the inevitable malignant decline. The studies presented herein provide a detailed comparative analysis of RDEB wounded skin and control skin at the transcriptional and immunological levels. The findings presented in this thesis: 1) define baseline gene expression profiles and immunobiology of chronically inflamed RDEB skin and blood; 2) reveal matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family genes germane to RDEB chronic inflammation; 3) provide a body of data and supportive evidence that targeting interleukin (IL)-17-associated signalling pathways may be therapeutically meaningful for treating RDEB patients with chronic wounds; and 4) generate new insights into the functional relevance of these targets in RDEB wounds and RDEB-SCC. Illumina whole-genome expression microarray was used to define the pattern of differential gene expression in RDEB wounded skin. MMP-11, -2 and -9 were revealed as significantly upregulated in RDEB chronic wounds, with augmented MMP-11 levels disclosed in the sera of an extended RDEB cohort. Detailed immunoprofiling of RDEB skin and blood via fluorescence-activated flow cytometry revealed a significant elevation in the pro-inflammatory and pro-tumourigenic cytokine IL-17A, further supported on serum multiplex analyses and correlating with immunohistochemical labelling of RDEB wound and RDEB-SCC cutaneous sections. IL-17A significantly enhanced RDEB and RDEB-SCC fibroblast migration and MMP inhibition alone was insufficient to inhibit this effect. An in vitro organotypic model system was developed to study the effects of IL-17A and MMP-11 on RDEB keratinocytes, although pre-treatment did not induce keratinocyte migration or curtail cell invasion in the RDEB-SCC co-cultures. Taken together, these data provide rationale for future work to examine the potential utility of anti-IL-17 biologic innovations as a therapy for individuals with RDEB, although more detailed functional pre-clinical studies are still needed.

Resumen

The first paper is a systematic review of qualitative studies exploring the experiences and views of individuals with a learning disability (LD) who have received support from residential or inpatient services. Eight studies were identified and were reviewed using the process of meta-ethnography. The following themes were identified as important to service users: ‘feeling safe and comfortable’, ‘maintaining an identity and sense of belonging’, ‘feeling empowered/disempowered’, ‘opportunities to be independent and pursue activities of value’, ‘freedom and privacy’, ‘having psychosocial needs met’. It is suggested services consider these factors to ensure good quality services for people with a LD. The second paper sought to explore how psychologists experience working with staff in residential care homes for people with a LD. Eight psychologists were recruited and interviewed. Interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Themes common across participants included ‘development and maintenance of a therapeutic relationship’, ‘theory and emotion’, ‘perceived restrictions’, ‘safety’, ‘developing an identity as a psychologist’, ‘support and shared experiences’, ‘motivation’, and ‘conflict and the roles of a psychologist’. Participants experienced several barriers to carrying out effective psychological work through staff in residential care homes. The various ways they have sought to and could address these are discussed.

Resumen

Aim: Using a mixed methods approach, this thesis seeks to explore the attitudes of emergency care staff towards young people (aged 12− 18 years) who self-harm and to gain an understanding of the basis of attitudes that exist. Background: This thesis has drawn on Strauss et al’s (1964), concept of the hospital as a negotiated order, a perspective that has latterly been applied to the organisation of hospital A&E services (Sbaih1997a&b 1998a&b, 2001, 2002). As the fundamental premise of emergency care work is the rapid assessment of patients’ needs, categorisation is an essential element of this work. This thesis therefore also draws on the sociological theories which have examined the categorisation of patients as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, as earlier sociological work has clearly demonstrated that practitioners working in emergency services judge patients based on their reasons for accessing the service (Roth 1972, Jeffery 1979, Dingwall & Murray 1983); patients who self-harm are amongst those adversely judged. However the extent to which these categorisations extend to young people was not wholly clear. Findings from earlier research that had considered this were inconclusive and inconsistent (Dingwall & Murray 1983, White 2002). Methods: A mixed methods approach, using a triangulation convergent design was employed. Staff employed in four emergency departments in South East London and five London Ambulance complexes that served these departments were surveyed; data from 143 questionnaires were analysed using SPSS. Qualitative data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with 12 practitioners, seven nurses and five paramedics, with thematic analysis undertaken. The two data sets were integrated and analysed to identify where the two data sets were consistent and whether/where discrepancies existed. Results: Findings from this study indicate that age, i.e. being a young person, does influence attitudes towards self-harm. Young people are less adversely judged as their self-harm is seen as symptom of distress, a coping mechanism or response to a stressor out with a young person’s control, thus as a consequence, attitudes towards young people who self-harm are benign. The findings lend support to previous research which has indicated that as an occupation, nurses have less positive attitudes than their peers working in emergency services. Although not statistically significant, the nurses surveyed in this study obtained lower scores on the scale used to measure attitudes than their medical and paramedical colleagues. The data from the interviews illustrated the difficulties and frustration the nurses faced in managing the care of young people who self-harm, which centred on the pressure to ‘move young people on’, pressures that were exacerbated by the need to do this within four hours. The paramedics interviewed did not face these challenges. Nurses faced considerable difficulty in securing admission to a children’s ward; the accounts of the nurse interviewees suggested that their ward colleagues expected and anticipated that young people who had self-harmed would be challenging in terms of their behaviours, whereas no such expectation existed with other adolescent patients. To this end the diagnostic label of self-harm had negative connotations Conclusions: The findings from this study have extended existing knowledge in relation to practitioners’ attitudes towards young people who self-harm, providing as they do an insight into how young peoples’ immaturity and diminished agency, contribute to the framing of young people as vulnerable, thus their self-harming behaviour is less adversely judged. A negotiated order perspective remains a relevant lens through which to analyse and explore the organisation of hospital services and specifically the work of the A&E department; the findings of the research presented in this thesis have revealed how young people who self-harm, through both their actual and perceived behaviours, disrupt the organisation of children’s accident and emergency care, thereby distorting its ‘shape’. The ambiguity of adolescence as a life-stage is reflected in the attitudes and perceptions of the study participants and is also reflected in health policy and guidelines, which is particularly exemplified by inconsistency in how the emergency care needs of young people between the ages of 16– 18 years generally, and young people who self-harm specifically, are addressed. This inconsistency and ambiguity in turn serves to impede young people’s progress through emergency services following an episode of self-harm.

Resumen

Nowadays, mobile phones have greater functionality; a camera, color LCD screen, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, IrDA and others. In the near future wider variety of new functionalities will be added, from high quality voice, high definition video to high data rate wireless channels. As consumer electronics integrate greater functionality and high operating frequencies, their emissions will exceed the specified limits, most of these emissions will be a result of the internal interferences in the mobile phone. Moreover higher operating frequencies will be required to improve the quality of these functionalities, something that will make it more difficult to control these interferences. Internal or external sources of electromagnetic interference can degrade the performance of sensitive analog/digital circuits inside the mobile phone. Moreover the electronic device must satisfy a host of global regulations that limit it’s susceptibility to these interferences, as well as the interference emitted by the device itself.

Therefore designing a new electronic device to perform new and exciting functions will not be a pleasant task if it can not meet certain specifications and function as required to adhere to certain global regulations.

This thesis project investigates the sources of interference inside a mobile phone; mainly the electromagnetic interferences and its effect on the radio transceiver focusing on the GSM receiver sensitivity. This report is a result of intensive research, an investigation of possible sources of interference, also actual measurements were performed; RSSI, OTA and sniffing measurements; to identify the physical sources of interferences, and their effect on the receiver sensitivity. Finally solutions were recommended and implemented to suppress the interferences due to different sources, mainly through filtering, shielding or proper grounding of signals and components/subsystems in the mobile phone.

Resumen

This paper looks into the recent law school boom in Alagoas and attempts to frame it against the historical, cultural, and social background of the State, providing a reasonable explanation as to the factors that have contributed to such expansion, which has rendered Alagoas the fastest growing state when it comes to newly accredited law schools. To delve into the core elements that might yield an answer to such troubling question, we embarked on a socio-anthropological study of the local society and analyzed the historical college education pattern in the state, from the birth of the first law school to the current state of affairs, devoting attention to the advances in teaching and to the reasons for this explosive growth. One factor unquestioningly stands out and makes it plain why so many students choose law among the vast array of courses offered. To understand so heightened a preference, as well as the other aspects relevant to the theme, such as how this phenomenal expansion is sensed, students from several law schools statewide and applicants from one such institution were asked to answer questionnaires. Law students and professionals were also interviewed. Based on the historical, sociological, and anthropological framework we studied, the collected data were ultimately analyzed and led us to conclude that, in view of the highly conservative nature of society regarding its culture and behavior patterns, the fascination with a career in law still prevails, imprinting on the collective psyche the idea of a highly esteemed profession, able to bestow power and prestige, which, in a patriarchal and conservative society like ours, is but a dream, a lifetime s aspiration, a goal for many.
Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas
O presente trabalho analisa a expansão recente do ensino jurídico em Alagoas e busca visualizá-la dentro do contexto histórico-cultural e social do Estado, extraindo as explicações centrais em torno dos fatores que contribuíram para a referida expansão, a ponto de possibilitar o quadro atual encontrado, ou seja, o de ser Alagoas, em termos percentuais, o estado campeão no crescimento de cursos de Direito. Assim, na busca de encontrar os elementos centrais da pesquisa e desvendar a problemática proposta, foi feito um estudo sócio-antropológico da realidade alagoana, além da análise histórica da trajetória da educação superior no estado, observando o surgimento e a evolução do ensino jurídico, analisando as peculiaridades desse crescimento, em que foi constatado um fator indiscutivelmente acentuado, que está relacionado à grande procura em Alagoas pelos cursos de Direito em detrimento a tantas outras graduações. Assim, a fim de entender a referida preferência pelos cursos jurídicos, bem como outros aspectos de relevância à temática em análise, foram aplicados questionários com estudantes de Direito de várias faculdades do Estado, sendo também aplicados questionários com candidatos ao Vestibular de Direito de uma instituição do estado, além da realização de entrevistas com estudantes de Direito e com profissionais da seara jurídica, no sentido de revelar a percepção destes sobre o fenômeno expansionista e sobre a preferência por tais cursos. Ao final, promoveu-se a análise conjunta dos dados coletados, tendo como referência os fundamentos históricos, sociológicos e antropológicos estudados, o que permitiu concluir que, sendo a sociedade alagoana paradigmaticamente conservadora, no que concerne à sua cultura e aos seus padrões comportamentais, o fascínio pelas carreiras jurídicas ainda impera, representando, no imaginário coletivo, ser uma profissão de extraordinário destaque, capaz de conferir prestígio e poder, o que, numa sociedade patrimonialista, patriarcal e conservadora como a alagoana, constitui um sonho, um ideal de vida e uma meta de boa parte da população.
