Jean, Daniel. "La scène utopique : le théâtre des poètes modernistes W.B. Yeats, T.S. Eliot et W.H. Auden". Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040075.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Les trois poètes majeurs de l’ère moderne en Angleterre, W. B. Yeats, T. S Eliot et W. H. Auden, au delà de leur identité poétique propre ont en commun d’avoir consacré une partie significative de leur carrière au théâtre. Leurs contributions à l’art dramatique ont fait l’objet de nombreuses études au moment de leur gloire, mais caractérisées par l’inscription de leur parcours dans le genre contestable de théâtre en vers (« verse drama »). Une telle approche nie la spécificité moderniste de leur réflexion et de leur pratique du théâtre, en particulier en négligeant l’importance des problématiques européennes d’un théâtre utopique, que l’on trouve à la fois chez Wagner et Mallarmé. L’objet de cette thèse est d’intégrer la dimension utopique à une relecture des œuvres de ces poètes, qu’elles soient explicitement destinées à la scène, ou qu‘elles contiennent une théâtralité latente, avec comme horizon une redéfinition de leur place dans l’histoire du théâtre britanniqueThe three major English-speaking poets of the modern age, W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden have all devoted a significant part of their careers to the theatre. There were many studies of their contributions to drama at the time of their success, but the concept of “verse drama”, which was coined to characterize them, has proved of doubtful value. It denies the specifically modernist nature of their reflection and a approach to the theatre, particularly by underestimating the importance of the European theories of drama as utopia, such as Wagner’s and Mallarmé’s. The aim of the present thesis is to offer a new reading of the dramatic works of these poets, whether they were explicitly intended for the stage or they are implicitly dramatic in form and content, taking into account their utopian dimension and attempting to redefine their place in the history of British drama

Clement, Cathie. "Australia's north-west : a study of exploration, land policy and land acquisition, 1644-1884". Murdoch University, 1991. http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/adt/browse/view/adt-MU20070905.104718.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The thesis analyses the continuum of European activity that preceded establishment of an effective pastoral industry in Australia's north-west. Two strands - physical activity and evolution of legislation - are interwoven, examining growth in geographical knowledge, proposals for colonisation and the outcome of interplay between government officials and landholders over land policy.
Growth in geographical knowledge gave rise to colonisation proposals from 1828. The thesis relates these proposals to events affecting northern Australia to show that promotion and occupation of north-west lands constituted an integral part of the outgrowth of colonial settlement in Australia.
Europeans occupied the north-west in two waves, abortively during the 1860s and continuously from 1879. The existing literature identifies these waves but provides inadequate analysis of events to 1884. The thesis fills this gap by showing that land hunger, misinformation, land speculation, manipulation of legislation and exploitation of political power for private commercial gain determined the shape of north-west settlement. Moreover, by relating land policy to tenure and occupation, it shows that private individuals influenced land policy and impeded official plans for rapid settlement. Thus, the thesis provides a fresh perspective not only on the prelude to effective pastoral settlement in the north-west but on the management of Western Australia's outlying lands in the period before responsible government.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Western Australian State Government’s local government reform programme, initiated in February 2009, provides the context for this research. Nedlands, a local government in Perth’s western suburbs, resolved to participate in this reform programme and signed a Regional Transition Group Agreement with Subiaco local government in August 2010. The purpose of the Regional Transition Group was to prepare a business plan to investigate the potential benefits and viability of a Nedlands and Subiaco amalgamation. Whilst the local government of Nedlands is currently investigating the more operational and technical aspects of local government reform in the merger feasibility study, this research focused on employee readiness, more intangible but no less important. The difficulties of achieving success with organisational change initiatives are well documented. A number of models of planned organisational change have been developed to address these difficulties and support successful change and are outlined. This research highlights the value of the first phase of planned change, namely readiness for change, where organizational members are prepared for and become supporters of change. It also highlights the importance of change communication with respect to developing employee readiness. Definitions and some of the dimensions of ‘readiness for change’ are outlined. The five dimensions of readiness for change - discrepancy, appropriateness, principal support, efficacy and valence - provide the ‘lens’ through which readiness for change at Nedlands is explored. From this perspective, the documentation communicating local government reform at Nedlands was analysed. These dimensions were also used to ascertain, from the perspective of the Nedlands' managers, their level of readiness and the readiness of the employees of Nedlands for local government reform. The findings suggest that Nedlands local government has not consciously planned to ‘ready’ employees for local government reform. A number of management recommendations are made to strengthen the change readiness message communicated by the Nedlands local government and to support the development of the Nedlands employees’ readiness for change.

The Nebo-Babel Ni-Cu-platinum-group element (PGE) magmatic sulphide deposit, a world-class ore body, is hosted in low-MgO, tube-like (chonolithic) gabbronorite intrusion in the West Musgrave Block, Western Australia. The Nebo-Babel deposit is the first significant discovery of a nickel sulphide deposit associated with the ca. 1078 Ma Giles Complex, which is part of the Warakurna large igneous province (LIP), now making the Musgrave Block a prime target for nickel sulphide exploration. The Musgrave Block is a Mesoproterozoic, east-west trending, orogenic belt in central Australia consisting of amphibolite and granulite facies basement gneisses with predominantly igneous protoliths. The basement lithologies have been intruded by mafic-ultramafic and felsic rocks; multiply deformed and metamorphosed between 1600 Ma and 500 Ma. The Giles Complex, which is part of the Warakurna LIP, was emplaced at ca. 1078 Ma and consists of a suite of layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions, mafic and felsic dykes and temporally associated volcanic rocks and granites. The Giles Complex intrusions are interpreted to have crystallised at crustal depths between 15km and 30km and are generally undeformed and unmetamorphosed.

Previous issue date: 2005-01-26This project is organized in the perspective of the development of the exhibition on the child's cultural universe Uru Eu Wau Wau in the Cultural Center Jesco Puttkamer. It looks for, also, to establish a connection between the indigenous world and the national society starting from the concern with the respect and the coexistence among different cultures. For that, we built a group of expressed images in book, CD and games to be distributed to the town schools of Goiânia and visitors of the exhibition. Stimulating, like this, the education process starting from the patrimonial education and of the insert of the students to the museum.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This study investigated the feasibility of using a portable geotextile fabric based filtering device to remove suspended solids from raw sewage. This device was considered to replace a conventional primary clarifier. The proposed filtration process directs wastewater influent through a geotextile fabric filter. As filtering progresses, and solids accumulate on the fabric, the loaded fabric is scrolled to present a fresh surface.
Only non-woven polypropylene geotextile fabrics were investigated. These products are constructed by spunbonding or needle-punch technique. Needle-punched fabrics proved superior in terms of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) filtering performance and fabric usage rates. Spunbonded products absorbed less moisture, reducing loaded fabric weight. Fabric thickness did not affect filtration efficiencies for either type of geotextile.
Process variables affecting unit performance were investigated. Flow rate, head level, and fabric tension did not affect TSS removal. Fabric tension, however, is limited by tensile strength of the geotextile material.
Two wastewater receving basin configurations for the device were investigated. An influent basin with two 450 angled walls forming a V-shape performed better in terms of fabric feed rates. It is recommended for full-scale applications.
Finally, several methods were used in an effort to improve treatment performance. Polymer use, and polymer use in conjunction with pre-screening of wastewater, were both used. Polymer use alone did not increase the operating efficiency. Polymer use, along with pre-screening, was promising enough to consider this as a stand-alone treatment system.Master of Science

Este estudo volta-se para a educação indígena, mais especificamente ao do grupo Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau do Alto Jamari em sua educação tradicional e a sua expectativa quanto à educação escolar. Esse grupo habita a região central de Rondônia próxima às nascentes dos rios da serra dos Pakaas Novos. Como o objetivo dessa dissertação é o estudo do grupo e da educação escolar que será oferecida a essa comunidade, portanto, para isso, estão presentes todos os aspectos que servirão de contextualização para o grupo e para a educação escolar indígena. Assim o grupo está descrito na sua perspectiva histórica, dentro das grandes migrações indígenas na região amazônica, nos choques interétnicos com as migrações dos não-índios, que estão também descritas, o seu primeiro contato, em 1981, até se conseguir a demarcação de suas terras em 1985. A partir daí serão apresentados os estudos etnográficos que foram feitos sobre a cultura Kawahiba, a qual pertence os Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, acrescidos aos relatos feitos pelos integrantes da própria comunidade, que poderão dar uma extensão maior a tais estudos. Para tanto, conseguiu-se nesse estudo o relato dos mitos, a descrição da sua organização social e outros aspectos da sua cultura, através dos membros mais velhos da aldeia do Alto Jamari tendo como intérpretes os próprios jovens da aldeia. Sobre a educação escolar há uma exposição relativa aos aspectos mais importantes do Referencial Curricular Nacional para as Escolas Indígenas - o RCNE/Indígena elaborado pelo MEC - e, ainda, a atual situação da educação escolar indígena em Rondônia, com relevância para as primeiras escolas dos grupos Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau, parentes do povo do Alto Jamari.This research concentrates on the indigenous education of the group Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau of the Alto Jamari. It considers the indigenous traditional education and the expectation towards school education. The Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau inhabits the central regionof Rondônia near the Springs of Pakaas Novos. In order to carry out the study of the group of school education I present all aspects. Which will help to contextualize the indigenous school education. Thus the group is described in its historical perspective within the big indigenous migration in the Amazon region in the inter-ethnical chocks with the migration of non-indigenous, which are described here too; the group first contact, in 1981, until they got the demarcation of land in 1985. Then I present the ethnographic study on the Kawahiba culture which belongs to the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau together with the reports made by members of the community, who will give a larger dimension to the study I present, therefore, the myths, the description of its social organization and other aspects of the Indians culture as related by the older people of the group who used the young ones as interpreters. The work also presents the most important aspects of the National Curriculumfor Indigenous Schools elaborated by the Ministry of Education and the current situation of the indigenous school education in Rondônia, mainly what is concerned to the groups Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau relative to the people of Alto Jamari.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
[Truncated abstract] Aspects of the biology of the commercial sea cucumber Holothuria whitmaei were investigated at Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia. The study was partitioned into several components: i) spatial distribution, ii) temporal changes in behaviour and iii) reproduction biology. The spatial distribution of H. whitmaei at Coral Bay was typical of that reported in the literature. H. whitmaei had distinct preferences for outer reef habitats, including the outer reef flat and reef slope. However, the distribution of H. whitmaei within these habitats was heterogeneous, or, aggregated within certain micro-habitat zones - predominantly at the leading edge of the reef flat, perpendicular to the prevailing current. Two potential biological advantages of this distribution were hypothesised: i), that species aggregation enhances prospects for gamete fertilisation, a process which may be impeded under typical densities, and ii), large deposits of detrital matter, an important food source for holothurians, may accumulate within these zones. ... A striking feature of the reproduction biology of this species was the potential for specimens to mature asynchronously. It was hypothesised that this phenomenon may be a reflection of isolated individuals located too far from conspecifics to receive pheromone signals; cues which are known to entrain synchronous gonad development in some holothurians. Hence, it was proposed that aggregations of H. whitmaei may be important to the maintenance of population recruitment, given that animals at the periphery of species concentrations may have relatively little chance of achieving fertilisation. ... Given that H. whitmaei were observed to maintain highly specific patterns of distribution, this may have significant ramifications for trophic level cascades in the outer reef zone, particularly where this species is present in higher densities (i.e. >100 ind. ha-1). The findings of this study, apart from highlighting the spatial and temporal biological attributes which may facilitate feeding and reproductive success, also emphasised the importance of biological knowledge to the management of sea cucumber fisheries. The study highlighted the need for further research to ascertain both the importance of species aggregations to population recruitment, and of the actual densities required to achieve high rates of gamete fertilisation. Such knowledge may help ultimately to identify suitable habitats for inclusion in marine protected areas.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Resumo: O interesse e o entusiasmo em estudar os coletivos ameríndios constituem-se em imenso desafio para as ciências, em particular para a Antropologia. É fundamental também para a Geografia, abordar, discutir e entender a complexidade de seus modos de vida, compreender suas territorialidades, assim como as implicações socioeconômicas, ambientais e culturais. As representações sociais dos coletivos indígenas, suas cosmogonias e simbologias são elementos imprescindíveis para as abordagens da Geografia Cultural, pois decorrem desses e outros fatores que são cruciais para o entendimento das identidades e territorialidades. A presente tese é fruto de reflexões iniciadas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia da Universidade Federal de Rondônia, quando analisamos e identificamos os impactos socioculturais no modo de vida dos Jupaú, habitantes da Terra Indígena Uru-Eu- Wau-Wau – TIUEWW. Essas reflexões ampliaram-se e produziram outros questionamentos sobre os Kawahib de Rondônia (Jupaú ou indobatywudjara-Gã e Amondawa), no Programa de Pós-Graduação Mestrado e Doutorado da Universidade Federal do Paraná. Os principais objetivos foram identificar e analisar os “marcadores territoriais” desse Coletivo, como elementos de representação indispensáveis ao processo da identidade indígena, em suas relações de construção, defesa territorial e memorial cosmogônico. Portanto, a discussão apresentada tem como eixo inicial a preocupação quanto à territorialidade, identidade e os “marcadores territoriais”, construído pelo Coletivo Kawahib da TIUEWW. O trabalho foi construído por meio da pesquisa participante, e ao final apresentado como o Coletivo Kawahib que edifica e interpreta seu microcosmo por meio das relações cosmogônicas. A Tese possui como recorte territorial a TIUEWW, em Rondônia, cuja construção espacial pelos Kawahib decorre de suas experiências socioespaciais e sóciocosmogônicas responsáveis pela construção dos “marcadores territoriais” que (re)afirmam suas identidades. A base conceitual filosófica parte dos princípios das formas simbólicas desenvolvidas por Cassirer que permitem uma aproximação que auxilia na compreensão dos modos de vida e permitem uma análise abalizada sobre os coletivos ndígenas.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the theoretical commitments informing W.V. Quine’s rejection of alethic modality and to advance a Quinean response to Saul Kripke’s arguments in support of modal metaphysics. The novelty of this thesis consists in it being the first detailed explanation of how Quine’s arguments against modality are situated within his system and informed by his epistemological and ontological views and the first adequate study of the epistemological and metaphysical criticisms Quine would advance against Kripke’s defence of modality.
The Quinean response to Kripke presented here is guided by four tenets that Quine takes to be central to the current scientific worldview and which he consequently adopts as the guiding methodological constraints of his own project: empiricism, regimentation, physicalism and simplicity. I explain how Quine’s referential opacity and mathematician-cyclist arguments against modality hang together with the rest of his philosophical project; and I show that while these arguments may seem unpersuasive and easily refuted by Kripke when taken in isolation, they are quite powerful when understood within the context of Quine’s entire system and seen in light of his guiding methodological constraints.
By the end of this thesis, it will be clear why Quine remains unconvinced by Kripke’s arguments in support of modal metaphysics and how his response to Kripke is grounded in his deepest methodological constraints. He ultimately rejects Kripke’s arguments because they conflict with the tenets he takes to be the deepest commitments of the scientific worldview. Quine’s arguments against modality must be understood within the context of his philosophical system as a whole and are best seen not as arguments to be met by Kripke on Kripke’s terms but as illustrations of why, from the standpoint of Quine’s project and the standards it adheres to (the standards of science, as Quine understands it), modality is a flawed and unnecessary addition to reconstructed scientific theory. While there may well be reasons for rejecting Quine’s views about modality – and even reasons that would compel Quine, on his own terms, to reject his views – I argue that Kripke does not provide them.

Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences, 2006. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/26194.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
A unique opportunity to study both benthic microbial mats and modern stromatolites from a common niche is presented by the hypersaline environment of Hamelin Pool, Shark Bay, Australia. However, prior to this study, the microbial mat communities have not been well characterised. To investigate the taxonomic and functional diversity of Hamelin Pool pustular and smooth mats, and their similarity to Hamelin Pool stromatolites, culturing, culture-independent, and lipid analysis methods were employed. The cultured isolates obtained included heterotrophic bacteria similar to those obtained from other hypersaline environments, and 19 strains of cyanobacteria including potentially novel species. For the first time archaeal isolates were obtained from the pustular and smooth mats, and further characterisation of two strains indicated they might represent novel species of the genus Haloferax. Total DNA was extracted from the mats and 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were generated targeting the bacteria, cyanobacteria, archaea and eukarya. Both the pustular and smooth mat bacterial clone libraries were highly diverse, with 11 bacterial divisions represented, and Chao1 estimates of total species richness indicating ~3000 ??? 6000 species. Cyanobacterial and archaeal clone libraries revealed unique phylotypes associated with sediments of differing morphology. Statistically significant differences between the mat populations and Hamelin Pool stromatolite communities were identified using !-LIBSHUFF, a program designed to compare two 16S rRNA gene libraries. Signature lipid biomarkers were assessed for the pustular and smooth mats and an intertidal stromatolite from Hamelin Pool. Fatty acids (as methyl esters), wax esters, hydrocarbons, ether-bound lipids, hopanoids and sterols indicated the presence of oxygenic phototrophs, anoxygenic phototrophs, sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-oxidising bacteria, heterotrophic bacteria and archaea in each of the sediment types. Limited contributions from diatoms, bivalves and their dinoflagellate symbionts, and from higher plant aerosols were also detected. Significantly, 2-methyl hopanoids and eight pseudohomologous series of branched alkanes with quaternary carbon centers were identified in the mats and stromatolites. Although differing in lithification status and precise microbial composition, the pustular and smooth mats are excellent analogues for the extant stromatolites of Hamelin Pool, and by corollary, provide a fascinating link to Precambrian microbial communities.

"- Marici Weu, Marici Weu, Marici Weu - We will win ten times over! : The Mapuce in Neuquén: Claiming spaces of resistance through complex and diverse struggles for indigenous citizenship rights". Thesis, Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet, Geografisk institutt, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-17453.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The broader context of this study constitutes the continuous pressure and strain the dominant society often put on the culture, livelihood and self-determination of indigenous peoples, but also on the increased international recognition and formalisation of indigenous rights emerging the last few decades. The Mapuce reality is no exception. This thesis focuses on the Mapuce right-claimers as possible change makers in a context of many constraints through exploring different processes of claiming spaces of resistance in a quest for realising indigenous citizenship rights. More specifically, this thesis aims to explore the challenges, strategies of resistance and possibilities for change in the course of a diverse and complex struggle for rights. The research is based on a two and a half month qualitative fieldwork in Neuquén, Argentina from June to August 2010. During this period, I established a close relationship with many of the research participants conducting in-depth interviews, innumerable informal conversations and participant observation. Based on the information acquired, I found that one of the most profound challenges facing the Mapuce is the discriminative social structure on which the Argentine state has been established. A lack of will prevents real implementation of the rights concerning indigenous peoples recognised in federal and provincial constitutions. The study furthermore shows that despite of these obstacles, the Mapuce right-claimers have found ways to wiggle around them. In the absence of effective participation in invited spaces, they practise a variety of strategies in order to claim their own spaces of resistance. Recuperation of land and large demonstration constitute parts of this political engagement, but more longterm strategies such as organisation, collaboration and capacity building is the crucial foundation on which their struggle depends. By combining individual and generational knowledgeabilities, in addition to drawing on those of others, I suggest that the Mapuce position themselves better in terms of their possibilities for acquiring change.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis analyses the development of Yeats's image of Japan from his introduction to Japanese culture through 'Japonisme' in the mid-1880's, until the end of his life in 1939. It also surveys the sources of information that Yeats had on Japan other than the Noh drama, and shows how these sources were as important as the Noh, if not more, in defining his image of Japan as an artistic utopia. Three periods of Japanese history were of particular interest to Yeats: The early nineteenth century, in which most Japanese colour prints were produced; the Ashikaga period (1333-1573), when the Noh flourished, and Heian Japan (794-1100), an extraordinary culture which produced some of the world's greatest works of art. Images of Japanese culture from these periods combined to produce a composite, mythical vision of Japan in Yeats's imagination.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
[Truncated abstract] This thesis examines the health outcomes of women exposed to blue asbestos at Wittenoom, Western Australia. Blue asbestos was mined and milled from 1943 to 1966 by the Australian Blue Asbestos Company (ABA) at Wittenoom, 1,600km from Perth in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia. The original work for this thesis is presented in six manuscripts, some of which have been published in peer-reviewed Journals. The following aims have been investigated. 1. (a) To compare the all-cause mortality rates of women who lived at Wittenoom compared with all-cause mortality rates of the Western Australian female population (b) To assess the exposure-response relationship between asbestos and mortality in women. 2. (a) To compare the incidence rates of common cancers in women who lived at Wittenoom, compared with the incidence rates of these cancers in the Western Australian female population. (b) To assess the exposure-response relationship between asbestos and cancer incidence at various sites in women. 3. (a) To determine if reproductive cancers (ovarian, uterine cervical and corpus and breast) and gestational trophoblastic diseases are associated with asbestos exposure. v (b) To determine if ovarian cancer has been misclassified as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma or vice versa. (c) To determine if colon cancer has been misclassified as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma or vice versa. (d) To assess the exposure-response relationship between asbestos and reproductive cancer incidence. 4. To assess the susceptibility of women to asbestos exposure in comparison with men with similar exposure histories. 5. To predict the future mortality from malignant mesothelioma among women who lived at Wittenoom. '...' The Wittenoom crocidolite industry has had a damaging impact upon the health of the women workers and residents who lived there. Wittenoom women are more likely to die from malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer, all cancers and all causes than women in the Western Australian population. This brief period of crocidolite mining in Western Australia's history will continue to exert a detrimental impact upon the future of the women who lived there, with another 66 to 87 mesotheliomas predicted to occur to the end of 2030.

Com 80 espécies, Arachis é dividido em nove secções taxonômicas. Duas, Heteranthae, com seis espécies anuais do Nordeste do Brasil, Minas Gerais, Goiás e Tocantins, e Triseminatae, com uma espécie perene de Minas Gerais, Bahia e Pernambuco, são aqui tratadas. Espécies destas secções mostram potencial forrageiro e adaptações estratégicas para sobrevivência em solos pobres e sob seca periódica. Suas plântulas têm caracteres exclusivos para a família e úteis para a distinção das espécies. A análise de tipos e de informação da literatura indicou que a morfologia dos acessos listados sob A. sylvestris não corresponde à descrição original e ao material tipo deste táxon, exigindo sua descrição sob nova espécie. Concluiu-se que o tipo de A. sylvestris corresponde ao nome anterior A. pusilla e foi designado um tipo para a espécie distinta indevidamente identificada como A. sylvestris, e elaborada sua descrição formal. Devido à alta variação encontrada a campo, à publicação de novas espécies, à descoberta de novos caracteres diagnósticos e a dúvidas sobre a circunscrição de alguns táxons, foi necessário elaborar novas chaves para distinguir as espécies e complementar suas descrições. A morfologia de cada espécie e das respectivas plântulas foi analisada em detalhes, para elaboração de chaves para plântulas e plantas adultas. O estudo taxonômico e morfológico foi baseado na análise de tipos e exemplares adicionais disponíveis em herbários brasileiros (CEN, CGMS, EAC, HUEFS, MOSS, UFRN) e de outros países (P, K). Novas coletas foram realizadas em distintos ecossistemas do Nordeste e de Minas Gerais. Foram observadas populações a campo e plantas individuais cultivadas ex situ no Banco Ativo de Germoplasma de Espécies Silvestres de Arachis da Embrapa Recursos Genéticos e Biotecnologia, com análise de cinco plântulas de cada acesso. O número de populações estudadas variou entre espécies, de uma a 27. Foram aplicados 23 descritores morfológicos para plântulas e 58 para plantas adultas. A ausência de cerdas em certas plantas é citada por primeira vez para A. giacomettii. Foi confirmada a concaulescência das gemas cotiledonares em todas as populações de A. pusilla e A. seridoënsis. Arachis pusilla mostrou a maior variação no estudo morfológico de plantas adultas. O maior número de espécies com endemismo potencial, e extremos morfológicos de outras espécies, foi encontrado no norte de Minas Gerais e sul da Bahia. As chaves, descrições e pranchas ilustrativas englobam sete espécies nativas, endêmicas do Brasil. ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
With 80 species, Arachis has nine taxonomic sections. Two of them, Heteranthae, with six annual species from the Brazilian Northeast, Minas Gerais, Goiás and Tocantins states, and Triseminatae, with a perennial species from Pernambuco, Bahia and Minas Gerais, are treated here. Species of these sections show forage potential and strategic adaptations to thrive in poor soils, and under periodic drought. Their seedlings have features that are exclusive in the family and useful for distinction of species. Analysis of type materials and literature information lead to the conclusion that the accessions filed under A. sylvestris do not correspond to the original description and to the holotype of this taxon, requiring the description of a new species. In fact, the type of A. sylvestris corresponds to the previous name A. pusilla. So, a type has been designated for the distinct species incorrectely identified as A. sylvestris and its formal description was prepared. Due to morphological variation found in nature, to the publication of new species, to the finding of new characters, and to doubts on the circumscription of some taxa, providing new analytical keys and complementing descriptions became necessary. Morphology of each species and respective seedlings was analysed in detail, to prepare dichotomous keys for seedlings and adult plants, with expanded descriptions. The taxonomic and morphological study was based on the analysis of types and additional specimens available in Brazilian (CEN, CGMS, EAC, HUEFS, MOSS, UFRN) and foreign herbaria (P, K). New field collections were conducted over distinct ecosystems of the Northeast Region and Minas Gerais State. Field populations were observed, as well as individual plants cultivated ex situ in the Wild Arachis Genebank of Embrapa Recursos Genéticos e Biotecnologia, analyzing five seedlings/accession. The number of populations studied varied between species (1-27). Twenty three morphological descriptors were applied to seedlings and 58 to adult plants. Absence of bristles in some plants is cited for first time for A. giacomettii. Concaulescence of buds of cotyledonary branches was confirmed in all populations of A. pusilla and A. seridoënsis. In the morphological study of adult plants, A. pusilla has been the most variable species. The greatest number of potentially endemic species, and morphological extremes of other species, has been found in northern Minas Gerais and southern Bahia states. The keys, descriptions and illustrative plates cover seven native species, endemic to Brazil.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Many Americans do not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity, and thus do not receive the potential physical and mental health benefits from physical activity. Stage of change is a model that categorizes individuals into one of five stages based on behavior and intentions for future behavior. This model is useful for promoting physical activity because it allows for tailoring of interventions to individuals with different physical activity levels and readiness for change. The main purpose of this research was to test if more adaptive scores for Essential Self-Regulation Model (ESRM) constructs are found for persons in higher stages of change. Analyses included 96 Western Kentucky University faculty and staff to test the hypothesis that as stage of change increases, the more adaptive the scores will be in regard to the ESRM constructs, including: self-determination (i.e., subtypes of motivation), self-efficacy, attributions, goal setting, strategy use, and self-monitoring. The results supported this hypothesis for intrinsic, integrated, and identified subtypes of motivation, cost, self-efficacy, and goal setting. Constructs that were not significant but had results in the hypothesized direction were introjected and amotivated subtypes of motivation, strategy use, and selfmonitoring. Attribution scores resulted in the opposite of the hypothesized direction. Conclusions, limitations, implications, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
What follows is not the biography of William Douw Lighthall, 1857-1954, but a chapter in the larger tradition of Canadian intellectual history. Lighthall remained a staunch imperialist, believing that Canada's future would find its fullest expression within the British Empire, and an adament idealist, asserting the primacy of individual responsibility and community rights. Together these two strains of thought, imperialism and idealism, formed the leitmotif of Lighthall's career: as a poet, novelist and anthologist Lighthall never questioned society's values and mores, he stressed them; similarly, as an urban reformer he underestimated the power of organized capital and, in the end, advocated repressive reforms. Although he was neither a particularly good writer nor a particularly effective reformer, Lighthall nonetheless preached a socialist vision of society--organic, collective, as something independent of the individuals who happened to live there.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Playing at Being: Style, Ethics, and W.B. Yeats, offers a reading of the canonical Irish poet by looking at how the tradition of European aesthetic and romantic philosophy informs both Yeats’s poetics, and the critical premises of those who have written on him. Although I employ the traditional literary method of close reading, I am also concerned to philosophically question the ground of literary value. My tutelary authorities for this endeavour are Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Beyond critically evaluating Yeats, I aim to define the value of literary style through Yeats, and, in doing so, make connections between literature, knowledge and ethics. At the heart of my study is the argument that there is a fundamental relationship between literary accomplishment and the practice of political sovereignty expressed at the individual and national level. By showing how literature, especially poetry, engages and qualifies statements of cultural authority, my thesis ranges from the philosophical to the sociological.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
My thesis proceeds from recent critical discussion about the status of the aesthetic object after the decline of high theory of the 1980s and 1990s. The term “singularity”, articulated by critics working with the ideas of Martin Heidegger, has been variously applied to the artwork in the attempt to describe the generative power of art as separable from any historical or political determinants that may shape it. What makes the experience of art “singular”, that is, an experience governed by the artwork itself, without the scaffolding of theory or context? Such a question, I argue, actually demands a return to the first principles of close textual criticism, along with a rigorous approach to genre. The lyric poetry of W. H. Auden provides the ideal material for “singular” criticism. Unpacking the term lyric and redefining it according to Auden’s particular poetics, I consider how Auden inaugurated a new manner of experiencing modern poetry based on the notion, implicit to the conventional understanding of lyric, of vocality. After an account of Heidegger’s influence on contemporary ideas on aesthetics, I consult the work of Theodor Adorno, and later Hannah Arendt, in order to situate Auden’s early work in a European context, opposing the Atlanticism which has governed the vast majority of Auden criticism. Working to restore the power of the first encounter with the poem to historically and philosophically nuanced textual analysis, I present the key works of Auden’s early corpus in a new light.

This study examines the determinants of economic growth at sub-national level in South

between 354 magisterial districts. The period in question is 1998 to 2002. A dynamic panel
data regression model is used that includes measures of geography (distance and natural
resources) as well as recent estimates of physical and human capital. It is found that the
significant determinants of local economic growth are distance from internal markets, human
capital, export propensity, and the capital stock of municipalities (reflecting institutional
quality and governance on local government level). Distance from international harbours, as
a measure of transport costs, and urban agglomeration (or density) affects growth indirectly
through its significant effect on the ability of a region to export. Overall, these results
indicate that geography is important for economic growth, independent of its effects in
institutions. Bearing in mind the medium-term focus of the work, no evidence of absolute
convergence could be found over a five-year period, rather the tentative evidence suggests
slow beta convergence.Thesis (Ph.D. (Economics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is an account of the poet and critic W.H. Auden's relations with Germany and Germans over the course of his life (1907-1973), presented through a selection of influences that have received little critical attention in the corpus of secondary literature to date. While these connections and influences are manifold and sometimes disparate, they can serve as a prism to tell Auden's life-story from a particular, relatively unexplored angle and to illuminate his work. The thesis is divided into three chapters. Chapter One discusses Auden’s engagement with German literature before 1928, his reasons for spending nine months in Weimar Berlin 1928-29, and the formative influence of this experience on his life and work. Chapter Two explores Auden's relationship with his 'in-laws', the famous family of Nobel Prize winning author Thomas Mann, and Auden's choice of an international life-style. Chapter Three discusses various other, later German influences on Auden: his visit to Germany with the US Army and its traces in The Age of Anxiety; issues concerning the German translation of this text; his Ford Foundation residence in isolated West Berlin; and his intellectual friendship with Hannah Arendt. Introduction and Conclusion embed these three specific chapters, deliberating the topic more abstractly. A number of appendices bring together a wide range of unpublished sources – and their translations into English, if the original is composed in German. Translations of all German appendix material can be found in the appendix itself.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
I will argue in this thesis that W.H. Hudson's fiction and non-fiction share the same symbolic substructure: that of the elusive Paradise. Through attention to the concrete details of the world, in certain moments at least, Hudson apprehends an invisible or supernatural dimension. These moments might appropriately be termed epiphanic. What I shall call 'affirmative' epiphany affirms the earthly by revealing the divine through or within it; it is either directly paradisiac, or assimilable to a vision of the earthly Paradise. In contrast to the 'affirmative' epiphany, there is also 'negative' epiphany which opens up a chasm of terror and dread. Violence, affliction, and human submersion in evil are amongst the things that play into the notion of 'negative' epiphany. I will also show that, in Hudson's fiction, there are indications that evil is written into the network of chance and natural law; so that the 'darkness' or evil disclosed by 'negative' epiphany can be seen as ontologically prior to the actions of the human will. The paradisial endures as a fractured and elusive subject of experience, constantly threatened by contingency, violence, or evil. I will also show how, for Hudson, rationalistic and mechanistic ideologies (especially Darwinism) are an obstacle to consistent belief in the spiritual. In this thesis I will attempt to redress the tendency to concentrate on Hudson first and foremost as a nature writer by giving priority to his fiction, which develops the mythopoeic or symbolic aspects of his vision to a greater extent and, I will argue, for this reason involves a deeper or more profound expression of that vision. In Part One I will be using examples from his non-fiction in my examination of his fundamental concerns; in Part Two I will show how these concerns are developed at a greater depth in his fiction.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, minkälaisia kokemuksia alakoulun opettajilla on sosiaalisen median (some) opetuskäytöstä. Sosiaalinen media on ottanut vahvasti jalansijan niin oppilaiden kuin opettajien vapaa-ajasta, mutta samalla myös kasvattanut suosiotaan valtavasti myös koulumaailmassa. Jokainen tietää varmasti jonkin sosiaalisen median sovelluksen, ja siitä puhutaan paljon, niin hyvässä kuin pahassakin, mutta tarkkaa määritelmää siitä harva tietää. Monikaan ei tiedä, mitä kaikkia palveluita katsotaan kuuluvaksi sosiaaliseen mediaan. Sosiaalinen media eli some tarjoaa valtavasti erilaisia mahdollisuuksia, joita voi hyödyntää niin kouluissa opetuksessa kuin vapaa-ajan käytössä.
Tutkimuksen tavoite oli selvittää alakoulun opettajien sosiaalisen median käyttöastetta niin vapaa-ajalla kuin oppilaiden kanssa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli kerätä tietoa myös siitä, miten sosiaalista mediaa hyödynnetään opetus- ja oppimistilanteissa päivittäisessä koulutyössä. Tutkimuksessa lisäksi kiinnosti opettajien saama koulutus sosiaalisen median opetuskäytön suhteen. Opettajien vastauksia on analysoitu swot-analyysimenetelmällä. Tutkimusote on kvalitatiivinen ja siinä on käytetty fenomenografista analyysia. Aineisto on koottu eri kanavien kautta tammi-helmikuussa 2018. Vastauksia kyselyyn on saatu kaikkiaan 39:ltä alakoulun opettajalta. Vastaajat työskentelevät kouluissa ympäri Suomen ja vastaajia löytyy jokaiselta alakoulun luokka-asteelta. Vastaajien ikä vaihtelee 24 ja 60 ikävuoden välillä.
Yhteenvetona voidaan todeta, että sosiaalinen media on alakoulun opettajille tuttu ja jo laajalti käytössä opetuksessa. Jokainen kyselyyn vastannut opettaja hyödyntää sosiaalista mediaa toisinaan omassa opetuksessaan, lähes kaikki vastaajat käyttivät sitä kuitenkin vapaa-ajalla päivittäin. Sosiaalisen median sovellukset ovat hyvin arkipäiväistyneitä ja niin yleisessä käytössä, ettei käytettäviä sovelluksia edes osata suoraan yhdistää sosiaaliseksi mediaksi. Sosiaalista mediaa hyödynnetään opetuskäytössä, mutta sen käytön katsotaan usein olevan huomaamatonta tai jopa tiedostamatonta. Tutkimukseen vastaajissa ilmeni mielipiteitä sosiaalisesta mediasta niin puolesta kuin vastaankin — puolestapuhujat vannoivat opetuksen monipuolistamisen nimeen ja vastaansanojat muun muassa puolestaan kritisoivat ruutuaikaa sekä sosiaalisen median käytön yliähkyä. Tutkimuksen SWOT-analyysin mukaan, sosiaalisen median sovelluksissa on nähtävissä paljon eri mahdollisuuksia haasteista huolimatta, ja sillä voidaan joissain tapauksissa havaita vaikutuksia oppilaiden motivaatioon.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La poésie d’Auden (1907-1973) propose des formes inédites invitant le lecteur à repenser l’écriture de la cité. Fasciné par les villes, le poète n’a cessé de sonder divers modèles (Cité juste, Utopie, Cité de Dieu, etc.) pour renouveler sa création sans perdre l’espoir de voir advenir un « lieu bon » (« the Good Place »). Très tôt dans son œuvre, il rapproche la « civitas » de l’œuvre d’art permettant d’élever l’homme au-dessus de la nature. Cependant, ses textes mettent souvent en scène les tribulations de personnages perdus dans un contexte urbain (Bruxelles, Berlin, New York). Par ailleurs, le poète vit s’ébranler tous les repères de la cité avec la Grande Guerre avant d’assister à la montée du nazisme, et ses textes des années 1940 comptent parmi les premiers qui disent – ou tentent de dire – la réalité des camps de concentration dans un monde qui ne fait plus sens. Dans le sillage de The Waste Land d’Eliot, son œuvre soulève question même de la possibilité d’écrire la cité alors que son unité a éclaté en laissant régner les lois du mal. Ainsi, Auden s’inscrit en faux contre tous les grands chantres qui glorifient la ville moderne. Dans la veine de Baudelaire, il dit le monde désenchanté qui l’entoure, mais pour cela, il est prêt à user de tous les artifices de la langue. En temps de crise, seul le langage peut servir de refuge assurant la possibilité d’une « civitas ». Les autres tentatives de fuite vers un ailleurs joyeux (fêtes publiques ou privées) conduiront tout droit à une impasse. Ni philosophe, ni homme politique, Auden était poète, et c’est en tant que poète, c’est-à-dire en tant que créateur de formes, qu’il propose des « mondes secondaires » témoignant d’une vérité qui parfois s’approche de la Vérité retrouvée dans le silence de la Cité idéale, où plus rien ne divise la communauté des hommes, pas même les motsAuden’s poetry offers unprecedented forms inviting readers to reconsider the poetics of the city. The poet – who was fascinated by cityscapes – kept exploring models (the Just City, Utopia, the City of God, etc.) in order to renew his creation, while aiming at reaching what he called “the Good Place”. Very early in his career, he regarded the “civitas” as analogous to an artwork testifying to man’s superiority over nature. However, his poems often stage the labyrinthine wanderings of characters that have lost themselves somewhere in a city (Brussels, Berlin, New York). Moreover, during the First World War Auden saw all the bearings and landmarks of the City shattered; and in the early 1930s he witnessed the rise of Nazism. Actually, his long poems published in the 1940s count among the first literary works dealing with – or trying to do so – the reality of concentration camps in a world that doesn’t make any sense anymore. In the wake of Eliot’s Waste Land, his work questions the possibility of writing about the City whose unity has been broken while the laws of evil rule over the world.Thus, Auden makes a stand against the bards who glorify the modern city. Following Baudelaire, he describes the disenchanted world in which he lives; but to do so, he is ready to resort to all the artifices of language. Indeed, in times of crisis, only language may serve as a refuge allowing citizens to rebuild a “civitas”. Any other attempt at escaping towards some happy place (on the occasion of public or private parties) will inevitably come to a dead end. Auden was neither a philosopher nor a politician: he was a poet, i.e. a maker designing “secondary worlds” bearing witness to a truth that sometimes reaches the Truth, regained in the silence of the ideal City where nothing divides men, not even words

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis is about Thackeray and the comic tradition in the plays and novels of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It aims at showing that a study of Thackeray's fiction and its connection with the comedy of the past contributes to an understanding of the sophistication and subtlety of his comic vision. In his fiction Thackeray takes some of the comedic conventions of the tradition, though in some respects he also departs from them, expanding, developing and applying them to his time to make ironic comments on the inconsistencies and follies of English society from the eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. In the early and central stage of his career as a novelist he adheres to the comic tradition, yet he also introduces unconventional elements, while in the later phase occasionally he detaches himself from it temporarily, but never completely. This study examines the Thackeray's major works of fiction in chronological order, because it allows us to trace a development of his comic perspective, his narrative technique and his concerns through time. Each chapter deals with a single work of fiction, except Chapter 1 and Chapter 8. A selection of his illustrations, which offer visual comments on the story, will also be analysed; they have various purposes and integrate with the text, adding subtlety and sophistication to the author's vision. Thackeray's comic perspective is a complex combination of satire and sentimentality where the two aspects often overlap and generate ambiguity and challenge for the reader. But, ultimately, this thesis reveals that towards the end of his life the writer enriches his vision considerably by adding tragic elements in alignment with comic ones, and that he was turning to a new direction: he was embracing the tragicomic.

A presente dissertação de mestrado pretende analisar como o escritor alemão W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) enxerga a história, a memória e a ficção nos seus quatro livros em prosa. As narrativas desse autor lançam mão do procedimento de colecionar diversas pistas e fragmentos do passado, que surgem por meio de encontros com pessoas, imagens, objetos, paisagens e lugares da memória - algo que nos remete ao historiador arqueólogo-colecionador que Walter Benjamin dizia ser necessário para enxergar o passado de um modo crítico. Dividido em três capítulos, que tratam do deslocamento como modo de pensar, da elaboração da memória e da história em Sebald, esse trabalho buscou verificar relações entre a história e a literatura, tomando a obra singular desse autor como exemplo de que a ficção é uma ferramenta essencial para se apreender o passado.The aim of this dissertation is to analyze how German writer W.G. Sebald (1944-2001) talks about History, Memory and Fiction in his four prose books. The narratives of this author act by collecting several trails and fragments from the past through encounters with people, images, objects landscapes and places of memory - something that recall us of the historian who should be like an archeologist or a collector that Walter Benjamin thought necessary to understand and think critically about the ruins of History. Divided by three chapters - about the displacement as a way of thinking, the elaboration of memory and about History in literary narratives - this work has tried to deal with the connections between History and Literature by taking the singular work of a writer as an example that fiction makes it possible to have a different relationship with the past.
