Variações das propriedades granulométricas da barreira costeira da Pinheira (SC) durante a sua progradação no Holoceno Superior
Authors: Amin Jr Armand H. , Dillenburg Sérgio R. 
Published: September 2014

A barreira costeira da Pinheira está localizada no litoral centro-sul do Estado de Santa Catarina. Sua morfologia e estratigrafia são típicas de uma barreira regressiva. Durante o Holoceno Superior (últimos 6-5 ka cal), a barreira progradou cerca de 5.500 m. Sua progradação foi determinada por um abaixamento de aproximadamente 2 m do nível do mar e por um expressivo aporte de sedimentos arenosos em seu sistema praial, provenientes da plataforma continental adjacente. Nos últimos 3.000 m de progradação, ocorridos nos últimos 3 ka cal, cerca de 60 cordões de dunas frontais foram formados. O intervalo de tempo decorrido entre a formação de dois cordões sucessivos foi de aproximadamente 50 anos. O estudo das propriedades granulométricas do sistema praia-duna atual e de dois cordões antigos de dunas frontais, denominados cordões intermediário e interno, formados, respectivamente, há cerca de 750 e 3.000 anos cal AP, revelou que, nos últimos 3 ka cal, não ocorreram variações significativas destas propriedades. Este comportamento é atribuído à natureza policíclica do estoque de areia consumido na progradação e/ou a uma relativa constância, nos últimos 3 ka cal, das condições dinâmicas gerais do sistema praia-duna da enseada da Pinheira.O estudo comparativo entre os diferentes subambientes (face da praia, berma e duna frontal) mostrou que o desvio-padrão e a assimetria da distribuição granulométrica são potencialmente importantes na distinção entre depósitos eólicos (dunas frontais) e praiais (face da praia) da barreira.

Chant céleste
Authors: Aubourg Valérie 
Published: September 2014

La glossolalie est considérée comme le prototype des éléments, aussi mystérieux qu’irrationnels, garantissant la fascination des croyants pour les cultes pentecôtistes-charismatiques. Cependant, nos observations sur le terrain réunionnais nous conduisent à nuancer cette représentation : au-delà du caractère apparemment anarchique de ce phénomène, des normes et des codes lui sont associés. Nous souhaitons donc montrer l’influence jouée par le contexte religieux et organisationnel sur ces expériences extatiques individuelles. Pour ce faire, nous userons de la comparaison entre trois groupes : pentecôtiste, charismatique catholique et évangélique charismatique réunionnais. Dans chacun, nous procédons de manière originale en étudiant la musicalité des glossolalies. En amont, nous prendrons soin de situer ces interventions sonores dans le contexte de leur énonciation. Elles sont mises en lien en aval avec l’approche dogmatique portée par chaque groupe religieux. Les différences relevées entre ces assemblées mettent en évidence une pluralité de « chants célestes », ce qui permet de voir comment, dans l’état désordonné dans lequel le glossolale semble s’oublier, sa tradition culturelle et religieuse influence encore son comportement.
Stigmatisation de la jeunesse japonaise par le discours et les représentations de la délinquance juvénile (1997-2010)
Authors: D’Orangeville Akané 
Published: September 2014

À la suite de certains grands meurtres commis en 1997 et 2000 par des jeunes de 14 et 17 ans, un discours sur les délinquants juvéniles comme étant plus violents, plus cruels, plus anormaux et plus nombreux que jamais auparavant s’installait chez les intellectuels et dans les médias japonais. Or, par dérapage analytique, ce discours a été généralisé à tous les jeunes, qui ont été considérés comme étant des individus violents, incompréhensibles, anormaux et potentiellement criminels malgré une certaine normalité apparente, faisant d’eux des dangers pour la nation. Cette étude présente le développement du discours stigmatisant la jeunesse des années 2000, en présentant les concepts clés qui ont été utilisés comme caractéristiques ainsi que comme arguments de la monstruosité cachée chez les jeunes Japonais.
Poiesis and Enchantment in Topological Matter
Authors: Sha Xin Wei 
Published: September 2014

A groundbreaking conception of interactive media, inspired by continuity, field, and process, with fresh implications for art, computer science, and philosophy of technology.
In this challenging but exhilarating work, Sha Xin Wei argues for an approach to materiality inspired by continuous mathematics and process philosophy. Investigating the implications of such an approach to media and matter in the concrete setting of installation- or event-based art and technology, Sha maps a genealogy of topological media—that is, of an articulation of continuous matter that relinquishes a priori objects, subjects, and egos and yet constitutes value and novelty. Doing so, he explores the ethico-aesthetic consequences of topologically creating performative events and computational media. Sha's interdisciplinary investigation is informed by thinkers ranging from Heraclitus to Alfred North Whitehead to Gilbert Simondon to Alain Badiou to Donna Haraway to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.
Sha traces the critical turn from representation to performance, citing a series of installation-events envisioned and built over the past decade. His analysis offers a fresh way to conceive and articulate interactive materials of new media, one inspired by continuity, field, and philosophy of process. Sha explores the implications of this for philosophy and social studies of technology and science relevant to the creation of research and art. Weaving together philosophy, aesthetics, critical theory, mathematics, and media studies, he shows how thinking about the world in terms of continuity and process can be informed by computational technologies, and what such thinking implies for emerging art and technology.
The Greenest Nation?
Authors: Uekötter Frank 
Published: September 2014

An account of German environmentalism that shows the influence of the past on today's environmental decisions.
Germany enjoys an enviably green reputation. Environmentalists in other countries applaud its strict environmental laws, its world-class green technology firms, its phase-out of nuclear power, and its influential Green Party. Germans are proud of these achievements, and environmentalism has become part of the German national identity. In The Greenest Nation? Frank Uekötter offers an overview of the evolution of German environmentalism since the late nineteenth century. He discusses, among other things, early efforts at nature protection and urban sanitation, the Nazi experience, and civic mobilization in the postwar years. He shows that much of Germany's green reputation rests on accomplishments of the 1980s, and emphasizes the mutually supportive roles of environmental nongovernmental organizations, corporations, and the state.
Uekötter looks at environmentalism in terms of civic activism, government policy, and culture and life, eschewing the usual focus on politics, prophets, and NGOs. He also views German environmentalism in an international context, tracing transnational networks of environmental issues and actions and discussing German achievements in relation to global trends. Bringing his discussion up to the present, he shows the influence of the past on today's environmental decisions. As environmentalism is wrestling with the challenges of the twenty-first century, Germany could provide a laboratory for the rest of the world.
More Than a Quarter of a Century: The Doctoral Programme at Oslo School of Architecture and Design: notes on the development of education since 1981
Authors: Dunin-Woyseth Halina 
Published: September 2014

This paper is intended to present how the Doctoral Programme at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO, also referred to as the school later in this paper) has developed since 1981. The paper focuses on the organised research education which has been offered at the school since 1992. Although the school has been the main engine of these doctoral studies, (mainly because it has had the right to confer the doctoral degrees), it has cooperated with other kindred institutions in a mutual learning process. The paper examines in turn the eight volumes of the Research Magazine, which discusses the development of the Doctoral Programme at the school. The paper concludes with a brief evaluation regarding the doctoral programme at the AHO. In the postscript closing the paper, some contributors who have made this development possible are mentioned.
Towards a New Virtualist Design Research Programme
Authors: Wang David 
Published: September 2014

This paper considers how the influence of computer-cyber networks informs a new way of seeing on the part of designers as well as design researchers. In an adaptation of the notion of “virtual realities” made possible by computer technology, this new way of seeing is termed the New Virtualism. The INTRODUCTION suggests that this computer-cyber way of seeing is only the third paradigm shift in Western architectural history, following design predicated on the paradigm of the human body (1) and the machine (2). These three paradigms, following Tzonis and Lefaivre, are termed epiphores. After the introduction, PART I outlines implications of New Virtualist ways of seeing as expressed design trends, in terms of style. This is followed by PART II, in which is addressed seven ways New Virtualism can impact design research. The paper suggests that, while cyber technology vis-à-vis design might encourage some excesses of expression, cyber technology vis-à-vis design research actually helps to return design inquiry to constructs previous to the positivism inherited from the Enlightenment outlook. In other words, a New Virtualist design research programme can accommodate the qualitative aspects of design research more comfortably than the science-based positivism derived from the machine epiphore. This in turn promises new qualitative horizons for design research.
Situating Creative Artifacts in Art and Design Research
Authors: Nimkulrat Nithikul 
Published: September 2014

This article aims to discuss the position of art and design artifacts, and their creation, in a practice-led research process. Two creative productions and exhibitions featuring my textile artifacts were intentionally carried out in order to tackle a specific research problem, and these will be examined here as case studies. These cases cover the production and exhibition of two sets of artworks, named Seeing Paper and Paper World, that were created as part of my completed doctoral research entitled Paperness: Expressive Material inTextile Art from an Artist’s Viewpoint. The study examined the relationship between a physical material and artistic expression in textile art and design. Both cases exemplify the roles of creative productions and artifacts situated in the process of inquiry. Throughout a practice-led research process, art and design artifacts can serve as inputs into knowledge production and as outputs for knowledge communication. As inputs, both art productions and artifacts can be the starting point of a research project from which the research question is formulated. They can also provide data for analysis from which knowledge is constructed. Asoutputs, artifacts can indicate whether the research problem requires reformulation, demonstrate the experiential knowledge of the creative process, and strengthen the findings articulated in the written output. Creative practice in a research context can contribute to generating or enhancing the knowledge which is embedded in the practice and embodied by the practitioner. This knowledge or insight can be obtained from the artist creating the artifact, the artifact created, the process of making it, and the culture in which it is produced and viewed or used, all taking place at different stages of a research process.
Assessing dance: A phenomonological study of formative assessment in dance education
Authors: Andersson Ninnie 
Published: September 2014

This article includes a study that examines how formative assessment in dance education is constituted in three Swedish upper secondary schools. The starting-point for the study is life-world phenomenology. A phenomenological way of thinking entails that the human being is intersubjective, linked with and within the world and that learning requires the bodily subject´s active experience. To turn towards the things themselves and to be open and adherent to things in the world is a basic rule and the starting point for research within phenomenology. This study is based on empirical material from observations of the phenomenon formative assessment in dance. Spiegelberg´s philosophical method was used as a base for phenomenological analysis. The analysis results in three themes: modes of communication, dance-related knowledge and function of formative assessment. Formative assessment was observed in the study to commonly involve teachers´ verbal communication and visualisation. The assessment practice is a continuous activity and very rarely involves any kind of self-assessment or tests. The results were discussed and related to a life-world phenomenological view of learning and earlier research.
An approach to modelling the effect of environmental and physiological factors upon biomass accumulation in winter wheat
Authors: GILLETT A. G. , CROUT N. M. J. , STOKES D. T. , SYLVESTER-BRADLEY R. , SCOTT R. K. 
Published: July 2002

Six sites of variable soil type and environments in England and Scotland were sown with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mercia) in the autumns of 1992 and 1993 with optimum inputs for growth. Crop monitoring between February and grain maturity provided data to investigate environmental and physiological factors important in controlling biomass accumulation.With increasing use of crop modelling as a tool for interpreting experiments and as crop management decision support systems, it is important that all influences on crop productivity are understood. The ‘radiation use efficiency’ or radiation conversion coefficient provides a convenient basis to study these influences.Significant differences in seasonal radiation conversion coefficients were observed between sites (P < 0·001), ranging from 2·82 to 3·87 g total dry matter/MJ absorbed photosynthetically active radiation. A series of simple dry matter models were developed to help explain biomass accumulation in relation to a number of environmental variables (using the measured green area index as an input) with correlation coefficients [ges ] 0·98 obtained across all sites. Apart from sunlight, differences in the canopy's ability to accumulate nitrogen and maintenance respiration costs were the most significant factors (P < 0·001). The nitrogen effect suggests changes in the conversion of assimilates with nitrogen availability, despite relatively high nutrition levels ([ges ] 180 kg N/ha).Over all sites the canopy extinction coefficient could be described as a linear function of the site spring time plant population (P < 0·01). A more detailed model considered canopy light attenuation to vary between sites according to sowing date and autumn/winter plant establishment and environment.
Timing of critical developmental stages and leaf

production in field-grown spring wheat for use in crop models

Published: July 2002

Detailed information on the timing of terminal spikelet formation,

anthesis, maturity and the rate of

leaf appearance is crucial to the predictive accuracy of the

AFRCWHEAT2 growth simulation model

for wheat. To obtain appropriate data under different growing

conditions for two spring wheat

(Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (cvs Minaret and Canon),

a main field experiment was conducted

comprising eight sowing dates between mid-March and late June 1994;

data from single sowings of

Minaret in 1992 and 1995 were also included in the analysis. Minaret is

the focus of a major European

study of the impact of climate change factors on the growth and development

of wheat, and data of the type reported here were essential to support
the modelling

aspects of the project involving AFRCWHEAT2.The accumulated thermal time from emergence to critical developmental

stages was similar for all

sowings of both cultivars, even though biomass was greatly reduced in

the later sowings. Although

final leaf numbers were comparable for all sowing dates, the rate of

leaf appearance was correlated

with the rate of change of day length at crop emergence in Minaret. The

unmodified AFRCWHEAT2

model did not predict the timing of critical growth stages and leaf numbers

well, but removal of the

vernalization and photoperiod factors from the developmental sub-model

greatly improved the

accuracy of such predictions. These results strongly suggest that fixed

quantities of thermal time may

be employed successfully to predict the timing of critical developmental

stages of these spring wheat

cultivars over a range of sowing dates, geographic locations and

climatic conditions, since

development appeared to be a linear function of temperature.Despite removing the photoperiod and vernalization functions, the

model consistently over-predicted final leaf number because

leaf production by the model continued until 1·8 phyllochrons

before anthesis, as compared to the three phyllochrons actually

recorded for Minaret. AFRCWHEAT2

could therefore be further modified to reproduce more accurately

the smaller number of leaves typical of these spring cultivars.
Quasi-one-dimensional steady-state cavitating nozzle flows
Authors: DELALE C. F. , SCHNERR G. H. , SAUER J. 
Published: July 2002

Quasi-one-dimensional cavitating nozzle flows are considered by employing a homogeneous
bubbly liquid flow model. The nonlinear dynamics of cavitating bubbles
is described by a modified Rayleigh–Plesset equation that takes into account bubble/bubble
interactions by a local homogeneous mean-field theory and the various
damping mechanisms by a damping coefficient, lumping them together in the form of
viscous dissipation. The resulting system of quasi-one-dimensional cavitating nozzle
flow equations is then uncoupled leading to a nonlinear third-order ordinary differential
equation for the flow speed. This equation is then cast into a nonlinear
dynamical system of scaled variables which describe deviations of the flow field from
its corresponding incompressible single-phase value. The solution of the initial-value
problem of this dynamical system can be carried out very accurately, leading to an
exact description of the hydrodynamic field for the model considered.A bubbly liquid composed of water vapour–air bubbles in water at 20 °C for
two different area variations is considered, and the initial cavitation number is
chosen in such a way that cavitation can occur in the nozzle. Results obtained,
when bubble/bubble interactions are neglected, show solutions with flow instabilities,
similar to the flashing flow solutions found recently by Wang and Brennen. Stable
steady-state cavitating nozzle flow solutions, either with continuous growth of bubbles
or with growth followed by collapse of bubbles, were obtained when bubble/bubble
interactions were considered together with various damping mechanisms.
Neuroscience and Anna; a Reply to Glenn Hartz
Authors: Radford Colin 
Published: July 2002

Glen Hartz argues, that neuroscience reveals that persons moved or frightened by fictional characters believe that they are real, so such behaviour is not irrational.But these beliefs, if they exist, are not rational and, in any case inconsistent with our conscious rational beliefs that fictional characters are not real. So his argument fails to establish that we are not irrational or incoherent when moved or frightened by such characters. It powerfully reinforces the contrary view.
Verbal self-monitoring and auditory verbal hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia
Authors: JOHNS L. C. , ROSSELL S. , FRITH C. , AHMAD F. , HEMSLEY D. , KUIPERS E. , McGUIRE P. K. 
Published: July 2002

Background. Contemporary cognitive models of auditory verbal hallucinations propose that they arise through defective self-monitoring. We used a paradigm that engages verbal self-monitoring to investigate this theory in patients with schizophrenia.Methods. Ten patients with auditory verbal hallucinations and delusions (hallucinators), eight patients with delusions but no hallucinations (non-hallucinators), and 20 non-psychiatric control subjects were tested. Participants read single adjectives aloud, under the following randomized conditions: reading aloud; reading aloud with acoustic distortion of their own voice; reading aloud with alien feedback (someone else's voice); and reading aloud with distorted alien feedback. Immediately after articulating each word, participants identified the source of the speech they heard (‘self’/‘other’/‘unsure’), via a button press. Response choice and reaction time were recorded.Results. When reading aloud with distorted feedback of their own voice, patients in both groups made more errors than controls; they either misidentified its source or were unsure. Hallucinators were particularly prone to misattributing their distorted voice to someone else, and were more likely to make errors when the words presented were derogatory. Both patient groups made faster decisions than controls about the source of distorted or alien speech, but faster responses were only associated with errors in the former condition.Conclusions. Impaired verbal self-monitoring was evident in both hallucinators and non-hallucinators. As both groups had delusions, the results suggest an association between delusions and impaired judgements about ambiguous sensory stimuli. The specific tendency of hallucinators to misattribute their distorted voice to someone else may reflect impaired awareness of internally generated verbal material.
