Dilma e a construção da imagem de um governo feminino

Year: 2013

description: Na política, mais do que ser, é preciso parecer ser, incorporar valores e ideais que diferenciem determinado personagem de seus adversários e utilizar estratégias discursivas que consolidem essa identidade aos olhos dos outros, no caso, o eleitorado, para alcançar o objetivo final, que é chegar ao poder e se manter nele. Em tempos de comunicação em multiplataformas, essas estratégias discursivas são estendidas aos mais diferentes meios, em busca de construir um efeito de verdade a essa imagem, a partir de elementos que reforcem uma coerência discursiva. No caso de Dilma Rousseff, primeira mulher a ser eleita presidente da República no Brasil, a construção de uma identidade que a relacione tanto a uma agenda social como a uma prática política diferenciada por ser mulher foi iniciada ainda na campanha eleitoral, em 2010. No governo, isso tem se ampliado, com a constituição de uma comunicação oficial que passou a incorporar também elementos pessoais da governante, em especial a condição feminina, como um aspecto de distinção de Dilma. Para compreender de que forma isso tem se difundido como uma política de comunicação, e quais as estratégias discursivas utilizadas para efetivar essa construção, proponho analisar o portal da Presidência da República do Brasil, canal oficial do governo brasileiro na Internet. Na página, a questão de gênero é exposta repetidamente, tanto na forma de tratamento definido pela governante - “presidenta” (a forma mais comum é o uso do substantivo “presidente” como comum de dois gêneros, porém o dicionário Michaelis admite o feminino flexionado, que também é atribuído à “esposa do presidente”) - como em discussões especiais sobre a mulher, disponibilizadas em links. A partir das concepções teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu e Erving Goffman, proponho uma análise dos elementos visuais e verbais utilizados na portal da Presidência com foco na construção da identidade de Dilma e do governo Dilma, de forma a perceber os recursos usados para a ressignificação do feminino como um atributo positivo para a gestão pública. Análise que se torna ainda mais relevante diante do contexto sócio-cultural e político do país, marcado por uma clara contradição: no Brasil, a mulher segue excluída do debate público - segundo levantamento da Inter-Parliamentary Union, entre 190 nações, o país ocupa o 119º lugar no ranking de participação de mulheres no Legislativo -, ao mesmo tempo em que Dilma Rousseff tem obtido seguidos recórdes de aprovação de governo, segundo pesquisas feitas pelo Ibope sob encomenda da Confederação Nacional da Indústria (CNI). Em março de 2013, 79% dos entrevistados declaram aprovar o jeito dela governar.

description: The article provides an assessment of the current content of gross iron, aluminum, silicon in the arzyk shoch soils of the lacustrine - alluvial plains of Central Fergana. As a result of the research, it was established that the concentrations of Fe, Al, Si and their ratios vary depending on the degree of destruction of the cemented arzyk shoch horizon in the studied soils. The radial distribution of these elements has features depending on the thickness and degree of destruction of the arzyk shoch horizon. The Fe:Al, Al:Si, Fe:Si ratios are close to each other in these soils. The radial distribution of bulk forms of Fe, Al, Si in the soils of the studied areas is uneven, but the minimum content of Fe, Al in all areas coincides with the groundwater horizons.

description: The main background for the supersymmetric stop direct production search comes from Standard Model ttbar events. For the single-lepton search channel, we introduce a few kinematic variables to further suppress this background by focusing on its dileptonic and semileptonic topologies. All are defined to have end points in the background, but not signal distributions. They can substantially improve the stop signal significance and mass reach when combined with traditional kinematic variables such as the total missing transverse energy. Among them, our variable M^W_T2 has the best overall performance because it uses all available kinematic information, including the on-shell mass of both W's. We see 20%-30% improvement on the discovery significance and estimate that the 8 TeV LHC run with 20 fb-1 of data would be able to reach an exclusion limit of 650-700 GeV for direct stop production, as long as the stop decays dominantly to the top quark and a light stable neutralino. Most of the mass range required for the supersymmetric solution of the naturalness problem in the standard scenario can be covered.

description: During the Great War, Canadians were swept up in the rhetoric of a Holy War. Leading theologians presented the First World War as the purifying agent that would cleanse Canada and the world from evil influences. All hope was put upon the citizen soldier, who became the embodiment of Christ in the ultimate fight between good and evil. In the collective psyche of Canadians, the soldier was cast as the mirror reflecting the moral character and aspirations of purity. The lived experiences of soldiers stationed in Calgary and Winnipeg are examined under the pressure of being publicly scrutinized with respect to their patterns of alcohol use. Alcohol became the central issue that galvanized various groups in solidarity to move towards Prohibition as the ultimate war measure. However, these efforts directly affected military recruitment. This dichotomy served to alienate the soldier and the reality of his experiences from the home front.
Paradoxes in Paradise: Neoliberalism in Alberta's Developmental Disability Field

description: This research examines the manifestation of neoliberal reforms and their institutionalising processes and effects in the field of services for adults with developmental disabilities in Alberta. The goal is to contribute to emerging understandings of how neoliberalism shapes the environmental context and characteristics of nonprofit human service organizations. A longitudinal embedded single-case study design and historical research approach are used. The study is grounded in a social constructivist perspective, guided by a theoretical framework integrating organizational and historical institutionalism with resource dependence theory. To understand the origins of the institutional arrangements existing at the start of the reforms, the evolution of the field is traced from 1905 to the 1990s. Four critical junctures are identified during this period, associated with: the eugenics movement; the deinstitutionalization and normalization movements; the social model of disability; and the onset of neoliberalism. The thesis identifies the broader socio-cultural, economic and political contexts in which the developments occurred. Neoliberal reforms, which intensified when the Klein government came into power in 1992, manifested in Alberta’s developmental disability field in four main ways: program cutbacks and limitations; a new structure for program delivery; increased family and individual responsibility; and managerial techniques for scrutiny and accountability. The thesis reveals poignant differences in the unfolding of the reforms, the identity and role of central actors, the levels and forms of acceptance, resistance, and entrepreneurship exhibited by various actors to shape institutional changes, and the nature and extent of change achieved. Organizations demonstrated isomorphic properties and tendencies expected in a highly institutionalised context, but their responses were diverse, structured by their histories, cultures and sense of self-identity, professional biases, and perceptions of dependencies. Even in a province much touted for neoliberalism, the reforms did not roll out coherently, and only partially achieved the benchmark principles of neoliberal government. Neoliberalism’s inherent paradoxes, a multiplex institutional context, and the creative agencies of strategic actors are implicated in the contradictory and experimental nature of the outcomes.
The unique pore and selectivity filter of HCN channels
Creators: name: Macri, Vincenzo S
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Hyperpolarization-activated Cyclic Nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channels are similar in structure and function to potassium channels. In both, changes in membrane voltage produce directionally similar movement of positively charged residues in the voltage sensor to alter the pore structure at the intracellular side and gate ion flow. Both classes of channels also allow mainly potassium ions to flow, are blocked by cesium ions, and are activated by extracellular potassium. However, HCN channels open when hyperpolarized, whereas most potassium channels open when depolarized. Thus, electromechanical coupling between the voltage sensor and gate is opposite. A key determinant of this coupling is the intrinsic stability of the pore. In potassium channels, the closed, and not the open, pore is more stable, however this it not known for HCN channels. HCN channels are also significantly permeable to sodium despite containing the GYG potassium channel signature selectivity filter sequence. In potassium channels, the selectivity filter sequence is ‘T/S-V/I/L/T-GYG’, which forms a row of four binding sites through which dehydrated potassium ions flow. In HCN channels, the equivalent residues are ‘C-I-GYG’, but whether they form four similarly arrayed cation binding sites is not known. In this thesis, we show using the mammalian HCN2 channel, that the stabilities of the open and closed pore are similar, the voltage sensor must apply force to close the pore, and that the interactions between the pore and voltage-sensor are weak. Furthermore, our data suggest that the conserved cysteine of the selectivity filter does not form a fourth binding site for permeating ions, which prevents it from contributing to either permeation or associated gating functions of the selectivity filter.

description: Esta comunicação insere-se no âmbito de uma investigação enquadrada tendo por base a comunicação multimédia e as ciências da informação e da comunicação, contextualizada no fenómeno das aglomerações neotribais associadas à cultura da música eletrónica. O aparecimento de movimentos culturais alternativos dos finais do séc.XX, alguns dos quais associados à cultura rave originaram a emergência de vários géneros musicais alternativos, como é o caso do Psy Trance (Transe Psicadélico). O fenómeno do Transe Psicadélico traz consigo eventos de contornos neo-rituais simultaneamente arcaicos e futuristas, em que as novas tecnologias multimédia assumem um papel fundamental enquanto criadoras e mediadoras de realidades paralelas. Através de uma pesquisa essencialmente qualitativa baseada em revisão de literatura, entrevistas a painel de peritos do universo da cultura Transe, e observação participante em vários eventos de referência, foram tiradas algumas conclusões que conferem às novas tecnologias e à comunicação multimédia um papel estratégico. Apesar da música eletrónica ser o elemento central desse universo, o próprio contexto onde esta se consome foi sendo aliado a novos conceitos estéticos através da comunicação multimédia. Estes elementos exclusivamente concebidos e mediados por computador funcionam assim como um todo concebido para despertar experiências e sensações, ao reforçar a intenção dos sujeitos nesse sentido. A comunicação multimédia, enquanto promotora de experiências multisensoriais, pode potenciar experiências psicadélicas transversalmente pela experiência multimédia, associadas à assimilação das sonoridades específicas deste estilo musical, em simultâneo com imagens projetadas em consonância com as variações rítmicas da música. Alguns DJ´s (Disc Jockeys) e VJ´s (Vídeo Jockeys) assumem-se metaforicamente como xamãs pósmodernos, ao proporcionarem a indução de estados de consciência alternativos (de transe) aos participantes no neo-ritual. Através da multimédia, eles comunicam com o público no limiar da manipulação. Considerando o xamanismo uma técnica arcaica do êxtase, explorasse neste trabalho a viabilidade de considerar o papel da multimédia como uma técnica pós-moderna do êxtase neste tipo de cenários, criados especialmente para remeter para mundos imaginários e realidades alternativas.

description: Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Since individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk for vitamin D insufficiency, studying vitamin D status in women with IBD is of importance as the peak incidence of IBD occurs between 18-35 years of age. Currently there is no literature that evaluates vitamin D status in pregnant women with IBD. Therefore, the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in pregnant women with IBD was assessed. This study demonstrated that pregnant women with IBD are more likely to be vitamin D insufficient than those without IBD. Further, the current recommended daily dosage of vitamin D supplements for all pregnant women is not appropriate to achieve vitamin D sufficiency, particularly for those with IBD. Appropriate clinical practice guidelines for vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy are needed for optimal prenatal care of pregnant women with IBD to improve their pregnancy outcomes.

The first stage crab (0.92–0.97 mm SL) has a whitish shield and brownish pigmented ocular acicles (Fig. 11 A– C). The pigmentation of the ocular acicles changes to dark brown in juveniles with an SL of> 1 mm after one month of age (Fig. 11 D–F, 12A, B, D, E). The upper edge of the shield is brown/dark brown in juveniles with an SL of> 1.3 mm after three months of age (Fig. 11 E, F, 12A, B, D, E). After four months of age (> 1.8 mm SL), the shield has a brownish stripe on the anterior lower margin of each side wall in some juveniles (Fig. 12 B, G–I) and the ocular peduncle of all specimens has a ventral brownish band (Fig. 12 B, C, F–I). The chelipeds and the second and third pereiopods of the first stage crab are reddish (Fig. 11 A, B); they vary in color pattern after four months of age, with brown bands on some segments (Fig. 12 A, D–I). The palm of the left cheliped has a brown stripe/patch with a large variation in area on the posterior middle portion (Fig. 12 F–I).

description: We consider operators arising from regular Dirichlet forms with vanishing killing term. We give bounds for the bottom of the (essential) spectrum in terms of exponential volume growth with respect to an intrinsic metric. As special cases we discuss operators on graphs. When the volume growth is measured in the natural graph distance (which is not an intrinsic metric) we discuss the threshold for positivity of the bottom of the spectrum and finiteness of the bottom of the essential spectrum of the (unbounded) graph Laplacian. This threshold is shown to lie at cubic polynomial growth.

description: The two-point correlation function of chaotic systems with spin 1/2 is evaluated using periodic orbits. The spectral form factor for all times thus becomes accessible. Equivalence with the predictions of random matrix theory for the Gaussian symplectic ensemble is demonstrated. A duality between the underlying generating functions of the orthogonal and symplectic symmetry classes is semiclassically established.
A fragile revival : Chinese Buddhism under the political shadow, 1522-1620
Creators: name: Zhang, Dewei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: I aim to reveal in this dissertation the dynamics behind the evolution of the late Ming Buddhist revival as well as some of its general characteristics, mainly from the political perspective. This significant religious revival has proved to be intimately tied to politics. Studying these interactions reveals a remarkable and complicated process. I examine how the revival took place and was processed at different social levels in different regions over the one hundred years of the Jiajing-Wanli period (1522-1620). The more theoretic portion of this project seeks to understand how, why, and to what extent this revival was a reaction and adjustment to the contemporary political environment by referring to the relevant social, economic, religious, cultural, and regional backgrounds. In addition to close reading of textual and epigraphical materials, I consistently employ quantitative analysis, regional approach and cases studies in the mould of the French Annals School. My argument is that, profoundly influenced by a weak Buddhist institution and a structural weakness in the Ming government, the evolution of the late Ming Buddhist revival was not so much driven by the inner dynamics of Buddhism as by drastic changes in the overall lay society, among which the inner and outer court politics, although not always the decisive factor, always remained a catalyst for other factors. This revival fostered a stronger commitment to Buddhism in society and produced some charismatic Buddhist masters who were tremendously influential, but it remained fragile because its development was basically under the control of its patrons rather than the samgha itself. I suggest that we reconfigure our understanding of the Ming Buddhist revival. Specifically, I point out that a long-distance shift of the national Buddhist centre took place from Beijing to the Jiangnan region around the 1600s, and that it was propelled both by drastic changes in national politics and by distinct traits of local Buddhism. I explain how this revival could happen after Jiajing‘s discrimination against Buddhism, and why it would conclude later when the socioeconomic environment mostly remained unchanged. Key words include Buddhist revival, court politics, the mid- and late Ming, Beijing, and Jiangnan.
Hip Derived Synovial Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Surface Markers In Situ as Indicators for Differentiation Potential

description: The degeneration of articular cartilage observed in patients with osteoarthritic (OA) joints coupled with the lack of regenerative abilities of cartilage play a major role in causing disability in OA patients. The synovial membrane within the joints is home to synovial mesenchymal progenitor cell (sMPC) populations that have the ability to undergo chondrogenesis (in vivo and in vitro). However, it remains unknown if these sMPCs express any markers in vivo/in situ that give information as to which of the specific MPC sub-populations have pro-chondrogenic capacity. In the patient cohort examined in this study, the most common cell surface marker profile on MPCs was determined to be CD90+/CD44+/CD73+, and though it included cells that had chondrogenic capacity, it also included cells that did not. Additional markers are therefore required to further discriminate the heterogeneous populations of MPCs and identify synovial MPCs that are enriched for chondrogenic capacity.

The shield of the first stage crab (1.06–1.07 mm SL) has faint reddish pigments (Fig. 13 A, B); they develop as two longitudinal dark reddish brown bands on the middle portion and a dark reddish brown band at the anterior lower portion of each side wall of the whitish/creamy shield in juveniles with an SL of> 1.1 mm after one month of age (Fig. 13 C–F, 14A–F). The ocular peduncle of the first stage crab is reddish (Fig. 13 A, B); it gradually becomes a whitish color dorsally and laterally and develops a dark reddish brown band ventrally (Fig. 13 C–F, 14A–F). The ocular acicles and the upper edge of the shield exhibit a reddish brown color in juveniles with an SL of> 1.4 mm after three months of age (Fig. 13 E, F, 14A–F). The chelipeds and the second and third pereiopods of first stage crabs are brownish red, excluding the distal and proximal parts of each segment; they appear to have whitish rings at the boundaries between segments (Fig. 13 A, B). The whitish part becomes prominent in the left second and third pereiopods, especially at the distal propodus of the left third pereiopod (Fig. 13 E, F, 14A–F). Longitudinal white stripes develop on the middle and ventral portions of the left cheliped palm (Fig. 13 E, F, 14A–F).

The Call of the Buffalo: Exploring Kinship with the Buffalo in Indigenous Creative Expression
Creators: name: Hubbard, Tasha
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Literature
subject: Indigenous

description: This dissertation examines the kinship relationship between Indigenous peoples and our relative the buffalo. I posit that texts in which Indigenous peoples express their relationship with the buffalo contain expressions of Indigenous epistemologies. Indigenous kinship theory, Indigenous critical geography, and Indigenous histories are foundational for this project. The presence of the buffalo is found within Indigenous oral stories, literature, art, and other forms of expression. Specifically, the dissertation engages with the representation of buffalo’s role in creating and renewing kinship ties. It examines Indigenous grief and mourning during the genocide of the buffalo; buffalo confinement and diaspora during the settlement era; women’s knowledge of the connection between buffalo and the land; and the artist’s role in revitalizing the relationship with buffalo. Authors and creators include Percy Bullchild, Alexander Wolfe, Edward Benton-Banai, Leslie Marmon Silko, Stan Cuthand, Barry Ahenakew, Neal McLeod, Marilyn Dumont, Louise Erdrich, Mourning Dove, D’Arcy McNickle, Linda Hogan, Beverly Hungry Wolf, Beth Cuthand, Louise Halfe, Jaune Quick-To-See Smith, Adrian Stimson and Thomas King. This work can be understood as the imperative for Indigenous peoples to remember the kinship relationship shared with the buffalo, including the web of responsibilities to all peoples, human and more-than-human, with whom we share this land.

description: O eye tracking é cada vez mais utilizado como uma ferramenta de análise em diversas e distintas áreas científicas, como é o caso da psicologia e medicina, mas sobretudo em estudos de usabilidade aplicados à web, aos videojogos e à televisão em todos os seus domínios (e.g. publicidade, comerciais, entretenimento). Esta multiplicidade de usos permite ao eye tracking ocupar um lugar de destaque no que diz respeito à avaliação do comportamento e interação do utilizador com um dado serviço e/ou produto, tendo sempre como base as questões infocomunicacionais, que possibilitam o desenvolvimento de serviços e produtos mais eficazes e eficientes para o consumidor/utilizador. Contudo, as aplicações e ferramentas relacionados com a utilização da tecnologia eye tracking estão muito direcionados para a análise da eficácia comunicativa de conteúdos estáticos, como são os casos de websites e imagens. Existe um desenvolvimento muito escasso no que diz respeito a ferramentas e estratégias de análise de conteúdos dinâmicos, como são os casos de conteúdos audiovisuais e videojogos. Este artigo tem como objetivo, por um lado, refletir e evidenciar alguns problemas encontrados na utilização da tecnologia eye tracking em conteúdos dinâmicos, e por outro lado, expor os desafios inerentes à utilização e tratamento de dados neste tipo de conteúdos.

description: O turismo, enquanto indústria, foi metamorfoseado pelo progresso tecnológico, quer ao nível das estratégias e práticas de negócio inerentes, como ao nível do empowerment e da participação do consumidor/utilizador/turista (Buhalis & Law, 2008), enquanto ator do ciclo de experiência turística – constituído pelos momentos de antes, durante e após viagem (Raposo, Beça, Figueiredo, & Santos, 2012). Com o surgimento das ferramentas Web 2.0 (O’Reilly, 2005), os utilizadores/turistas detêm a capacidade criar conteúdos multimédia, que circulam de forma convergente através de vários canais de distribuição, o que permite que os mesmos sejam disseminados e consumidos por outros turistas/utilizadores em diferentes momentos da viagem, o que impacta na construção e vivência da experiência turística. O turista é também cada vez mais nómada, podendo aceder à Internet através de dispositivos móveis como smartphones e tablets, em qualquer lugar e em qualquer altura (Kleinrock, 2003), o que evidencia conceitos como o da ubiquidade e a sensibilidade ao contexto. Decorrendo do contexto identificado, Neuhofer, Buhalis, and Ladkin (2012) salientam as alterações operadas pelas Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) na natureza da experiência turística, realçando a cocriação de experiências e enfatizando a expansão do espaço em que estas são criadas. Noutro prisma, focando os novos paradigmas de interação e a sua relação com as dinâmicas comunicacionais referidas, Yeoman (2012) identifica as interfaces gestuais como um dos futuros impulsionadores tecnológicos no âmbito do turismo, evidenciando que a detecção dos movimentos do utilizador, sem o contacto físico com o display, permitirá uma interação natural com a informação, distinta dos paradigmas tradicionais. Assim, e já na atualidade, é possível a concepção de paredes/vitrines interativas que permitem a exploração e a manipulação da informação pelos turistas através de gestos. O presente artigo pretende referir as mutações inerentes ao ciclo da experiência turística tecnologicamente mediada, procurando uma atualização conceptual, e, por outro, almeja focar um momento de mediação tecnológica específico, através da proposta de uma metodologia para a avaliação da tourist user experience mediada por interfaces gestuais no destino, durante a viagem.

description: Os manuais escolares digitais são ainda uma raridade no quotidiano do ensino português. Contudo, as potencialidades destes recursos são consideravelmente exploradas em países como os Estados Unidos da América, onde o forte mercado editorial tratou de disponibilizar um elevado número de plataformas de leitura e distribuição de manuais digitais. A abordagem adotada pelas principais editoras americanas é descentrada do objeto como um dos principais instrumentos pedagógicos, ao invés é utilizada uma perspetiva mercantilista, onde se alugam ou vendem trechos, capítulos ou livros completos. A premissa do manual escolar digital como estratégia de remediação pode contribuir, de certa forma, para uma evolução ou revolução no paradigma de interação com o livro. Neste âmbito torna-se relevante perceber de que forma pode este recurso resultar numa ferramenta adaptada à era digital e ocupar, nestes novos formatos, o papel de relevo que sempre teve na promoção da aprendizagem. Numa pesquisa anterior que versou a análise de mais de uma dezena das referidas plataformas foi possível reconhecer um padrão no desenho das interfaces, bem como várias funcionalidades de especial relevo para a conceptualização de um protótipo inicial. É neste contexto que surge o presente trabalho, apresentando uma reflexão sobre o manual escolar digital como objeto essencial na aprendizagem e como este pode ser reconfigurado de modo a ocupar o seu lugar na educação digital do futuro.

description: The Transcritical Organic Rankine Cycle (TORC) is a non-linear time-varying heat recovery system for small-scale power generation. It is similar to a boiler-turbine system but uses organic fluid as the primary heat carrier instead of H2O and works in both subcritical and supercritical regions. The heat source can be either renewable energy or industrial waste-heat. In order for the TORC to work efficiently, it is essential the control system tracks the set points as closely as possible while remaining robust to disturbances; the control system design treats the heat source as a time-varying disturbance. To achieve this goal, this thesis presents a design of an adaptive Cere- bellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) which uses a single-input-single-output strategy by pairing the controlled variables (CVs) to the manipulated variables (MVs) using Relative Gain Ar- ray (RGA) analysis of the system. The CMAC improves performance and robustness compared to a traditional PI control.

description: We have experimentally studied the magnetic-field dependence of the decay of a Bose-Einstein condensate of metastable 4He atoms confined in an optical dipole trap, for atoms in the m=+1 and m=-1 magnetic substates, and up to 450 G. Our measurements confirm long-standing calculations of the two-body loss rate coefficient that show an increase above 50 G. We demonstrate that for m=-1 atoms, decay is due to three-body recombination only, with a three-body loss rate coefficient of 6.5(0.4)(0.6)10^(-27)cm^6s^(-1), which is interesting in the context of universal few-body theory. We have also searched for a recently-predicted d-wave Feshbach resonance, but did not observe it.

description: Hydrate-bearing sediments are characterized as soils in which the pore space is partially or fully occupied by ice-like crystalline solid consisting of hydrogen bonded water lattices encapsulating guest gas molecules, mostly methane in natural environments. These sediments are found along marine continental margins and in permafrost regions. The main focus of this thesis is to investigate the behaviour of hydrate-bearing sediments subject to triaxial compression. The work presented includes (1) an investigation into the formation process dependency of hydrate growth habit, spatial distribution, and saturation (the key deterministic factors of the physical behaviour), (2) a novel formation methodology to isolate the effects of formation habit from those of spatial variation in hydrate distribution, (3) an investigation into the accurate estimation of hydrate saturation, (4) and a comprehensive series of tests to investigate the initial effective confining stress and hydrate saturation dependent stress-strain behaviour, strength, and stiffness, (5) a comparison of present results with previous work published in literature to investigate the differences in strength/stiffness behaviour between different formation habits. The results of the study reveal that the stress-strain behaviour is affected by hydrate added cohesion (or cementation), the failure strength at low saturations is controlled by frictional resistance at mineral grain contacts, the failure strength at high saturations is determined predominantly by hydrate-mineral bonding strength or intact hydrate breakage strength while the residual strength is determined by the hydrate saturation, stiffness is controlled predominantly by formation habit while hydrate saturation acts as a factor of secondary importance, and the effects of initial effective confinement on the strength/stiffness behaviour is significant only at low hydrate saturations. Additionally, an increased dilative tendency, reflected in strongly negative pore pressure development was observed in the hydrate-bearing specimens under constant mass shearing. Comparison of our results of the experimental program with theoretical predictions generates a good match, which indicates that theoretical modeling of the strength gain due to the presence of gas hydrates is possible. The knowledge generated in this research is essential in evaluating the potential risks associated with drilling and methane production, reservoir subsidence, and dissociation induced submarine slope instability.

description: Im Projekt SaWa (Sakralität im Wandel) geht es um die Transformationen der sakralen Landschaft in Deutschland, die sich seit der Wende 1990 beobachten lassen. Das Projekt verfolgt demnach christliche, muslimische und jüdische Bauprozesse, die signifikant das Stadtbild prägen. Dabei werden Neubauten, Umnutzungen und Abrisse in ganz Deutschland quantitativ erhoben und anhand von einigen Fallbeispielen qualitativ erforscht. Für die quantitative Erhebung wird eine Datenbank angelegt, die zu Ende des Projekts nicht nur für Forschende, sondern auch für Interessierte einen Überblick über die Veränderungen in der architektonischen Landschaft wiedergeben soll. Im Rahmen des Digital Humanities Day #3 an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum stellt dieses Poster die Ansätze von SaWa skizzenhaft dar, Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Datenbank als Beispiel für Archivierung, digitaler Kartierung und Wiedergabe der Datensätze in einem bestimmten zeitlichen Rahmen. Die Herausforderungen, die die sozio-politischen und baulichen Aspekte von Neubau, Umnutzung und Abriss mit sich bringen, deuten gleichzeitig auf die Komplexität hin, die es digital abzubilden gilt.
Systole et rayon maximal des variétés hyperboliques non compactes

description: We bound two global invariants of cusped hyperbolic manifolds: the length of the shortest closed geodesic (the systole), and the radius of the biggest embedded ball (the inradius). We give an upper bound for the systole, expressed in terms of the dimension and simplicial volume. We find a positive lower bound on the inradius independent of the dimension. These bounds are sharp in dimension 3, realized by the Gieseking manifold. It provides a new characterization of this manifold.

Embeddedness through Utilitarianism: An Example of Cultural Identification of Post-85s in Alberta

description: This research study utilizes the theoretical perspective of critical inquiry, and employs multi-disciplinary methodologies within a critical bricolage, to contextualize Christotainment in Alberta, Canada, analyze its nature, and the reasons for its acceptance by Chinese Post-85s (people who were born between 1985 and 1990 in China), and examine its effects. The compound word of Christotainment refers to the merging of “Christ” and “entertainment”, indicating the socio-political and socio-cultural marketing of Christian fundamentalism. The findings are as follows: a) Christotainment to Chinese Post-85s in Alberta represents a power of cultural embeddedness; b) The motivations for the involvement of Chinese Post-85s in Alberta in Christotainment are both external and internal due to the utilitarian characteristics of their cultural identification; c) The embedding effect of Christotainment on Chinese Post-85s in Alberta imposes upon the Chinese a Western cultural hegemony characterized by its ostensibly profiteering purpose. At the same time, bricolage as methodology opened possibilities for alternative understanding as the study unfolded and the author wrote about struggles, confusion, emotions, and her personal achievement, as well as that of the interviewees during the four-and-a-half-years of exploration. The study is constantly in progress with the pace of the constantly shifting values and cultural identity of the special group of Chinese Post-85s in Alberta.

description: Despite evolution from the handicapped-access design of the 1960s to current universal design, society has yet to consistently implement socially inclusive and functionally and socially sustainable built environments for people with disabilities. This study has concentrated on deriving an effective inclusive-design learning framework for built-environment designers. Nineteen participants from five disparate realms (disability studies; environmental design; lived experience of people with physical and visual disabilities; occupational therapy; orientation and mobility; and social work) were interviewed over a 14-month period. Three rounds of interviews were conducted with each participant from each realm. A grounded theory research methodology was applied to elicit the in-depth tacit knowledge of participants who retained a mean average of 22.8 years in their respective realm. The result has been the discovery of a coalescing in disciplinary and lived experience theories, conceiving a new term: Environmental Design Transinclusive Learning Theoretical Approach Framework. This framework relies upon four dynamic, holistic, complex, and mutually interactive transinclusive learning dimensions of: (a) embodiment, (b) lived experience in environment, (c) transdisciplinarity, and (d) social sustainability—all interacting on a self-directed-learning and adult-education foundation. This vital discovery could well act as a catalyst for professional-cultural and emancipatory-learning shifts toward more socially inclusive design.

description: The cumulant expansion is used to estimate generalized Lyapunov exponents of the random-frequency harmonic oscillator. Three stochastic processes are considered: Gaussian white noise, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck, and Poisson shot noise. In some cases, nontrivial numerical difficulties arise. These are mostly solved by implementing an appropriate importance-sampling Montecarlo scheme. We analyze the relation between random-frequency oscillators and many-particle systems with pairwise interactions like the Lennard-Jones gas.

description: As diversas linguagens – áudio, vídeo, texto, gráfico – interagem de diferentes formas com os dispositivos, que muitas vezes não são mais fixos, mas sim móveis, e podem ser acessado em qualquer local ou tempo. As telas, por sua vez, dependendo do seu tamanho e formato, determinam o tipo de relação que o indivíduo constrói com a informação no ambiente digital. Tendo em vista este contexto, os meios de comunicação passaram a ser consumidos de formas diferentes. O rádio, que sempre foi um meio sonoro, também passou a interagir com as telas. Nesta pesquisa, o Ubilab (Laboratório de Pesquisa em Mobilidade e Convergência Midiática) teve por objetivo entender esta nova relação do rádio com as telas, a fim de criar a “primeira tela” deste meio. Esta investigação partiu de um problema teórico e resultou em uma proposta prática, resultando em um registro em depósito de patente. Isto apenas reforça que existe um novo campo de possibilidades de atuações acadêmicas para esta área.

description: Two different formalisms for the homogenization of composite materials containing oriented ellipsoidal particles of isotropic dielectric materials are being named after Bruggeman. Numerical studies reveal clear differences between the two formalisms which may be exacerbated: (i) if the component particles become more aspherical, (ii) at mid-range values of the volume fractions, and (iii) if the homogenized component material is dissipative. The correct Bruggeman formalism uses the correct polarizability density dyadics of the component particles, but the other formalism does not.
