subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: Islam and Christianity are the two major religions being followed and practiced in the Philippines. Like many countries all over the world, conflict between these two religions has been going on since the beginning of time and the Philippines is not an exception. For centuries, Muslims and Christians have been constantly engaging in violence in the Philippines and this study attempts to trace the historical origin of inter-religious conflict in the Philippines. Many attempts of the Philippine government to promote peaceful coexistence have been executed but none has successfully eliminated the prejudice and biases that the adherents of these two religions have towards each other, until the church leaders, religious leaders, and non-government organizations realize the need for a faith-based approach through interfaith dialogue to be introduced to facilitate intercultural and religious understanding to eliminate the prejudice and biases as well as to promote tolerance and coexistence among the Filipino people. Also, this study measures the effectiveness of the faith-based approach in conflict resolution. More importantly, this research analyses the activities of the interfaith organizations and their impact on the lives of Muslim and Christian communities while exploring the different approaches they employ, activities and events they organize, and as the organizations they established throughout the years to promote tolerance and coexistence. This study draws on interviews with two interfaith organizations: Silsilah Dialogue Movement and Al Qalam Institute of Ateneo de Davao University.

 Now Rhipidura leucothorax clamosa Diamond, 1967. See del Hoyo et al., 2006: 241.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 786037, adult male, collected at Soliabida, 2000 ft, near Karimui, 06.30S, 144.50E (Papua New Guinea, 1984), Simbu Province, Papua New Guinea, on 28 July 1965, by Jared Diamond (no. 1586).
COMMENTS: Diamond cited the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description and noted that he had two males from Soliabida and one male from Karimui. The two paratypes are: AMNH 809116, male, Karimui, 11 July 1965, JMD number 1009; and AMNH 809117, male, Soliabida, 25 July 1965, JMD number 1505.

 Syntype: AMNH 651729, adult male, collected at Hatam (5 Atam on label), Arfak Mountains, Papua Province, Indonesia, on 28 June 1875, by Bruijn’s hunters. From Salvadori’s Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1920: 498) was careful to call this specimen a ‘‘cotype’’ (5 syntype), as he noted that all of Salvadori’s specimens were marked ‘‘Typus’’. No type was designated in the original description but the type series was composed of nine specimens. This is specimen ‘‘e’’ of the list in Salvadori (1881: 72). There are four syntypes of R. atra in Genoa (see Arbacco et al., 1979: 227). For the location of Hatam, see map in Mayr and Meyer de Schauensee (1939).

 Rhipidura atra vulpes Mayr, 1931d: 684 (Cyclopengebirge).
 Now Rhipidura atra vulpes Mayr, 1931. See del Hoyo et al., 2006: 235.
 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 651765, adult female, collected in the Pegunungan Cycloop (5 Cyclops Mountains), 02.32S, 140.36E (USBGN, 1982a), Papua Province, Indonesia, on 5 September 1928, by Ernst Mayr (no. 2167). From the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mayr’s Cyclops Mountains specimens were divided between Rothschild and L.C. Sanford for AMNH, with a representative selection sent to MZB (Hartert, 1930a: 19). In the original description, the holotype of vulpes was said to be in the Rothschild Collection and to be a female, collected on 5 September 1928, bearing Mayr’s field number 2167. This specimen was not recognized as a type when the Rothschild Collection came to AMNH, and it was inadvertently exchanged to FMNH in the early 1960s and cataloged as FMNH 280390. This error has now been rectified through the kindness of FMNH, and the holotype has been returned to AMNH in exchange for paratype AMNH 293936.
Mayr collected 7 male and 6 female specimens, of which 11 came to AMNH, and apparently 2 were sent to MZB. AMNH 293933–293937, 651763, 651764, and 651766– 651768 are paratypes, of which AMNH 293936 and 651763 have been exchanged to FMNH.

 Rhipidura flabellifera frerei Mathews, 1912a: 319 (Bartle Frere, North Queensland).
 Now Rhipidura albiscapa alisteri Mathews, 1911. See Ford, 1981b: 129–130, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 481–483.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 650293, adult male, collected on Bartle Frere, 17.23S, 145.49E (USBGN, 1957b), Queensland, Australia, on 23 May 1900, by E. Olive for Herbert C. Robinson (no. 1247). From the Mathews Collection (no. 5883) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype as 5885. Ford (1981b: 130) has already called attention to this error; the specimen opposite Mathews’ number 5885 is Myiagra rubecula. The discrepancy apparently resulted from a misprint in the original description, because Mathews’ type label has the correct number, 5883, written on it. The Rothschild type label has the incorrect number. Olive’s original label has ‘‘Type’’ written on it in Mathews’ hand. It was the only specimen of Rhipidura cataloged by Mathews at that time. The number ‘‘107’’ written on his label by Olive is apparently a species number, because a second specimen, AMNH 650294, from Bartle Frere has the same number, whereas Robinson’s number on that specimen is ‘‘1246’’; this latter specimen is not a paratype, as it was never in Mathews collection.
 Mathews (1912a: 319) gave the range of frerei as ‘‘ Queensland (Bartle Frere)’’; the holotype was the only specimen Mathews had from that locality.
 Schodde and Mason (1999: 479–480) considered three allospecies to comprise the forms in the Rhipidura fuliginosa complex, with one of these being Australian Rhipidura albiscapa. Ford’s (1981b: 130) careful study showed that this holotype of R. f. frerei is a migrant individual of R. albiscapa alisteri.

 Now Rhipidura albiscapa alisteri Mathews, 1911. See Ford, 1981b: 130, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 481–483.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 650287, unsexed adult, collected at Inkerman, 19.45S, 147.29E (Storr, 1984: 183), Queensland, Australia, on 11 April 1907, by Wilfred Stalker. From the Mathews Collection (no. 1781) via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description; it is the only Queensland specimen entered in the catalog at that point. Ford (1981b: 130) determined that this type was a wintering specimen of alisteri. Mathews gave the range of harterti as ‘‘Mid Queensland’’, and I did not find other mid-Queensland specimens that had been in the Mathews Collection prior to the description. A specimen from Gracemere, collected in 1881, was obtained from Collett, but not cataloged until November 1912, after the publication of harterti in January.
 The number ‘‘476’’ on Stalker’s label refers to the number of this species in Mathews (1908a); his ‘‘Inkerman’’ refers to a cattle station where Stalker collected for Sir William Ingram. Collingwood Ingram (1908: 469) reported on this collection and listed this single specimen as Rhipidura albiscapa. Stalker’s given name was Wilfred (Ogilvie-Grant, 1915: vi), contra Ingram (1908) and Whittell (1954: 680–681).

 COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to the Mathews Collection label, marked ‘‘Type’’ by Mathews, the specimen bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. AMNH 650232 (Mathews no. 9648) collected at Warunda Creek, Eyre Peninsula, on 24 August 1911 and cataloged 7 November 1911 is a paratype.

description: Background. Bicycling has the potential to improve fitness, diminish obesity, and reduce noise, air pollution, and greenhouse gases associated with travel. However, bicyclists incur a higher risk of injuries requiring hospitalization than motor vehicle occupants. Therefore, understanding ways of making bicycling safer and increasing rates of bicycling are important to improving population health. There is a growing body of research examining transportation infrastructure and the risk of injury to bicyclists. Methods We reviewed studies of the impact of transportation infrastructure on bicyclist safety. The results were tabulated within two categories of infrastructure, namely that at intersections (e.g. roundabouts, traffic lights) or between intersections on "straightaways" (e.g. bike lanes or paths). To assess safety, studies examining the following outcomes were included: injuries; injury severity; and crashes (collisions and/or falls). Results The literature to date on transportation infrastructure and cyclist safety is limited by the incomplete range of facilities studied and difficulties in controlling for exposure to risk. However, evidence from the 23 papers reviewed (eight that examined intersections and 15 that examined straightaways) suggests that infrastructure influences injury and crash risk. Intersection studies focused mainly on roundabouts. They found that multi-lane roundabouts can significantly increase risk to bicyclists unless a separated cycle track is included in the design. Studies of straightaways grouped facilities into few categories, such that facilities with potentially different risks may have been classified within a single category. Results to date suggest that sidewalks and multi-use trails pose the highest risk, major roads are more hazardous than minor roads, and the presence of bicycle facilities (e.g. on-road bike routes, on-road marked bike lanes, and off-road bike paths) was associated with the lowest risk. Conclusion Evidence is beginning to accumulate that purpose-built bicycle-specific facilities reduce crashes and injuries among cyclists, providing the basis for initial transportation engineering guidelines for cyclist safety. Street lighting, paved surfaces, and low-angled grades are additional factors that appear to improve cyclist safety. Future research examining a greater variety of infrastructure would allow development of more detailed guidelines.

 Now Rhipidura phasiana De Vis, 1884. See Ford, 1981b: 133, and Schodde and Mason, 1999: 479–480.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 650400, adult male, collected on Buchanan Islet, 11.49S, 130.39E (Storr, 1977: 106), entrance to Apsley Strait, off Bathurst Island, Northern Territory, Australia, on 28 February 1912, by J.P. Rogers (no. 2973). From the Mathews Collection (no. 12468) via the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. In addition to Rogers’ field label, the holotype bears Mathews and Rothschild type labels. The range of this form was given as Buchanan Island. There are 13 specimens, in addition to the holotype, collected by Rogers during February to May 1912 on Buchanan Island. I found 10 of these in Mathews catalog, all cataloged before the publication date of 18 September 1912: AMNH 650395 (13401), 650397 (13402), 650398 (13406), 650399 (13405), 650401 (13407), 650402 (13404), 650403 (13400), 650404 (13403), 650406 (12466), and 650407 (12467). I did not find AMNH 650396, 650405, and 650408 in Mathews’ catalog, but I consider all of this series to be paratypes, especially in light of Mathews’ frequent failure to enter into his catalog multiple specimens bearing the same data.

description: Images assist in the propagation of mythological narratives, as is the case for the basic unit of analysis of this study, the Vancouver 2010 brand. The use of images gives material existence to abstract ideas such as nationalism, religion or the notion of unity. Using the notion of triadic semiosis, as well as the social semiotic model to which it belongs, this study analyzes contemporary notions of Canadian identity, as represented visually, through the Vancouver 2010 Olympic brand. Two empirical findings have emerged as a result of this study: (1) The Canadian identity as conceptualized by scholars who have studied it in the past has undergone a process of change, namely a shift from a "traditional" Canada, deeply connected to the natural landscape and geography, to a "contemporary" Canada, composed of large metropolitan centers ready to do business with an increasingly globalized world. (2) A linguistic dualism continues to pervade within contemporary Canadian life, a fact visually represented within marketing materials used to promote the Vancouver 2010 brand.

description: Background: Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of female infertility. Leptin, an adipocytokine which is elevated during obesity, may influence gonadal function through modulating steroidogenesis in granulosa cells. Methods: The effect of leptin on progesterone production in simian virus 40 immortalized granulosa (SVOG) cells was examined by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effect of leptin on the expression of the steroidogenic enzymes (StAR, P450scc, 3betaHSD) in SVOG cells was examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The mRNA expression of leptin receptor isoforms in SVOG cells were examined by using PCR. SVOG cells were co-treated with leptin and specific pharmacological inhibitors to identify the signaling pathways involved in leptin-reduced progesterone production. Silencing RNA against leptin receptor was used to determine that the inhibition of leptin on cAMP-induced steroidogenesis acts in a leptin receptor-dependent manner. Results and Conclusion: In the present study, we investigated the cellular mechanisms underlying leptin-regulated steroidogenesis in human granulosa cells. We show that leptin inhibits 8-bromo cAMP-stimulated progesterone production in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, we show that leptin inhibits expression of the cAMP-stimulated steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein, the rate limiting de novo protein in progesterone synthesis. Leptin induces the activation of ERK1/2, p38 and JNK but only the ERK1/2 (PD98059) and p38 (SB203580) inhibitors attenuate the leptin-induced inhibition of cAMP-stimulated StAR protein expression and progesterone production. These data suggest that the leptin-induced MAPK signal transduction pathway interferes with cAMP/PKA-stimulated steroidogenesis in human granulosa cells. Moreover, siRNA mediated knock-down of the endogenous leptin receptor attenuates the effect of leptin on cAMP-induced StAR protein expression and progesterone production, suggesting that the effect of leptin on steroidogenesis in granulosa cells is receptor dependent. In summary, leptin acts through the MAPK pathway to downregulate cAMP-induced StAR protein expression and progesterone production in immortalized human granulosa cells. These results suggest a possible mechanism by which gonadal steroidogenesis could be suppressed in obese women.

description: Background: Genetic variants at the vitamin D receptor (VDR) locus are associated with asthma and atopy. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in other genes of the vitamin D pathway are associated with asthma or atopy. Methods: Eleven candidate genes were chosen for this study, five of which code for proteins in the vitamin D metabolism pathway (CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP2R1, CYP24A1, GC) and six that are known to be transcriptionally regulated by vitamin D (IL10, IL1RL1, CD28, CD86, IL8, SKIIP). For each gene, we selected a maximally informative set of common SNPs (tagSNPs) using the European-derived (CEU) HapMap dataset. A total of 87 SNPs were genotyped in a French-Canadian family sample ascertained through asthmatic probands (388 nuclear families, 1064 individuals) and evaluated using the Family Based Association Test (FBAT) program. We then sought to replicate the positive findings in four independent samples: two from Western Canada, one from Australia and one from the USA (CAMP). Results: A number of SNPs in the IL10, CYP24A1, CYP2R1, IL1RL1 and CD86 genes were modestly associated with asthma and atopy (p < 0.05). Two-gene models testing for both main effects and the interaction were then performed using conditional logistic regression. Two-gene models implicating functional variants in the IL10 and VDR genes as well as in the IL10 and IL1RL1 genes were associated with asthma (p < 0.0002). In the replicate samples, SNPs in the IL10 and CYP24A1 genes were again modestly associated with asthma and atopy (p < 0.05). However, the SNPs or the orientation of the risk alleles were different between populations. A two-gene model involving IL10 and VDR was replicated in CAMP, but not in the other populations. Conclusion: A number of genes involved in the vitamin D pathway demonstrate modest levels of association with asthma and atopy. Multilocus models testing genes in the same pathway are potentially more effective to evaluate the risk of asthma, but the effects are not uniform across populations.

description: This thesis is directed towards the goal of advancing ethical discourse in public policy development. It examines a piece of the public policy process in a specific instance---public documents discussing genetics and the use of genetic technologies. The documents considered are examples of a part of the process that raises values questions and issues in the public domain as an explicit part of a decision process. This project is about one value in particular---human dignity---which is used as one of the core values in virtually all public policy documents discussing genetics. Human dignity is an example which focuses our discussion on how the term is used, what is the content of its expression, and what is its meaning for those who make decisions. The thesis is not an exhaustive inquiry into the meanings attached to human dignity. In addition, the thesis will explore the meaning of the expression human dignity from a theological perspective. It will be argued that the theological perspective may serve to be illustrative of insights not noticeably present in the public discourse. This thesis is presented in four chapters. Chapter 1 presents a brief overview of the rapidly evolving science of genetics and the issues it raises in the public forum. Chapter 2 is a more detailed examination of some of the public documents noted in passing in Chapter 1. It works with their presentations of human dignity and its importance in their presentations. Documents chosen are from public bodies in Canada, France, and the United States. We have chosen three documents from each country: one that deals with research involving human subjects, in that much of the technology in the field of genetics is presently at the level of research; one that deals with genetic testing; and one that deals with reproductive cloning. Chapter 3 attempts to bring some clarity in the use of human dignity through a brief sketch of the meanings attached to it, as well as its relationship with the term autonomy. Kant and Rawls are discussed and a perspective on their work from the point of view of Habermas, Virtue Ethics, Feminist philosophy, and the law as found in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is included. Further efforts to bring clarity to the discussion of the content and meaning of the term human dignity is sought via a theological perspective represented by Richard A. McCormick.

 Rhipidura drownei Mayr, 1931b: 11 (Bougainville Island, Solomon Islands).
 Now Rhipidura drownei drownei Mayr, 1931. See Mayr and Diamond, 2001: 392, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 226.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 225358, adult male, collected on Bougainville Island, Solomon Islands, on 5 January 1928, by Frederick P. Drowne (no. 155) on the Whitney South Sea Expedition.
COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are: AMNH 225350–225357 and 225359–225377. Of these paratypes, the following were exchanged in January 1932: AMNH 225355 to ZMB, AMNH 225359 to Cleveland Museum of Natural History, AMNH 225360 and 225363 to ANSP, AMNH 225364 to CM, AMNH 225369 to USNM, and AMNH 225370 to BBM.
The Whitney Expedition personnel went inland from Kieta and made a base camp at Kupei (ca. 06.15S, 155.27E) from 31 December 1928 to 31 January 1928. From there they collected up to a little over 5000 ft in the Crown Prince Range, with the village of Kobari being the farthest inland village that they contacted (Frederick P. Drowne, unpublished journal Q, AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives).
 Mayr and Diamond (2001: 392) considered drownei an allospecies in the superspecies Rhipidura [spilodera].

An end system multicast protocol for multi-party videoconferencing applications
Creators: name: Hosseini, Mojtaba
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: This thesis presents the design of an end system multicast protocol appropriate for multi-party videoconferencing applications. More specifically, the said protocol attempts to address the upload bandwidth limitations of current Internet connections to the home as well as the lack of ubiquitous infrastructure support for multicasting needed for many-to-many applications. After a study of the requirements of a particular class of many-to-many applications (mufti-party videoconferencing), the thesis includes the proposal, design, justification, implementation and evaluation of a novel end system multicast protocol targeting such applications that in comparison to existing systems and protocols will better deal with limitations of today's Internet connections to the home and improve their feasibility of deployment. The core of the thesis is formed by novel routing heuristics appropriate for multi-source outflow constrained overlay tree construction that significantly perform better than existing heuristics in fording solutions while taking into account priority and heterogeneous bit-rates for every source-receiver pair. Furthermore, the design and implementation of a 3D videoconferencing application with a novel visibility-based awareness mechanism provides a proof of concept application making use of our proposed end system multicast protocol.

description: Background: Hypercholesterolemia causes atherosclerosis in medium to large sized arteries. Cholesterol is less known for affecting the microvasculature and has not been previously reported to induce microvascular pathology in the central nervous system (CNS). Results: Mice with a null mutation in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene as well as C57BL/6J mice fed a high cholesterol diet developed a distinct microvascular pathology in the CNS that differs from cholesterol-induced atherosclerotic disease. Microvessel diameter was increased but microvascular density and length were not consistently affected. Degenerative changes and thickened vascular basement membranes were present ultrastructurally. The observed pathology shares features with the microvascular pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), including the presence of string-like vessels. Brain apolipoprotein E levels which have been previously found to be elevated in LDLR-/- mice were also increased in C57BL/6J mice fed a high cholesterol diet. Conclusion: In addition to its effects as an inducer of atherosclerosis in medium to large sized arteries, hypercholesterolemia also induces a microvascular pathology in the CNS that shares features of the vascular pathology found in AD. These observations suggest that high cholesterol may induce microvascular disease in a range of CNS disorders including AD.

 HOLOTYPE: AMNH 217672, adult male, collected on Guadalcanal (5 Guadalcanar) Island, Solomon Islands, on 25 July 1927, by R.H. Beck and Joe Hicks on the Whitney South Sea Expedition (no. 27084).
COMMENTS: Mayr gave the AMNH number of the holotype in the original description. Paratypes are AMNH 217671, 217673, 217674, 217684, 219506–219518, 225387, and 225388. Of these, the following were exchanged in December 1931 and January 1932: AMNH 217671 to NRM, AMNH 219506 to Cleveland Museum of Natural History, AMNH 219508 to USNM, AMNH 219509 to ZMB, and AMNH 219512 to BBM.
 When the holotype was collected, the Whitney Expedition vessel France was anchored in a bay near Cape Hunter and from there Beck and Hicks went ‘‘eastward to the big river’’ (5 the Irina River, ca. 09.50S, 159.50E). Their inland base was at 1800 ft and they collected from there to more than 4000 ft (R.H. Beck, unpublished journal D, AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives).

description: Background. Large multigene sequence alignments have over recent years been increasingly employed for phylogenomic reconstruction of the eukaryote tree of life. Such supermatrices of sequence data are preferred over single gene alignments as they contain vastly more information about ancient sequence characteristics, and are thus more suitable for resolving deeply diverging relationships. However, as alignments are expanded, increasingly numbers of sites with misleading phylogenetic information are also added. Therefore, a major goal in phylogenomic analyses is to maximize the ratio of information to noise; this can be achieved by the reduction of fast evolving sites. Results Here we present a batch-oriented web-based program package, named AIR that allows 1) transformation of several single genes to one multigene alignment, 2) identification of evolutionary rates in multigene alignments and 3) removal of fast evolving sites. These three processes can be done with the programs AIR-Appender, AIR-Identifier, and AIR-Remover (AIR), which can be used independently or in a semi-automated pipeline. AIR produces user-friendly output files with filtered and non-filtered alignments where residues are colored according to their evolutionary rates. Other bioinformatics applications linked to the AIR package are available at the Bioportal http://www.bioportal.uio.no, University of Oslo; together these greatly improve the flexibility, efficiency and quality of phylogenomic analyses. Conclusion The AIR program package allows for efficient creation of multigene alignments and better assessment of evolutionary rates in sequence alignments. Removing fast evolving sites with the AIR programs has been employed in several recent phylogenomic analyses resulting in improved phylogenetic resolution and increased statistical support for branching patterns among the early diverging eukaryotes.

Artificial microwave volume holograms based on printed dielectrics: Theory, performance analysis and potential application in antenna systems
Creators: name: Zhu, Wenhao
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Electronics and Electrical.

description: A new type of complex electromagnetic structure, the artificial microwave volume hologram (AMVH), has been studied systematically. The structure consists of cascaded planar lattices of metallic circular patches with varying size and can be designed to have an effective dielectric modulation that follows a holographic interference pattern. Under the illumination of certain electromagnetic waves, an AMVH can reproduce a required wave field pattern based on its design, just like a traditional volume hologram in optical holography. A theoretical model, namely the self-consistent dynamic-dipole interaction theory (DDIT), has been developed to characterize AMVHs for wave scattering and beam form conversion. It can also be used for designing AMVHs as well as for optimization. Multiplex AMVHs have been proposed and simulated, in which more than two wave beams interact with the structure, which results in wave beam conversion, splitting or combining. Their flexibility and application potential are illustrated through a number of examples such as multi-beam antennas, shared apertures, and beam splitting and combining. Experimental validation of the theory has been carried out on several fabricated AMVHs, which has confirmed the theory. An alternative patch geometry, namely a square patch, has been proposed and analyzed for application in AMVHs, which can provide significant higher electric polarizability. Finally, a full-wave FEM simulation has been done to verify the accuracy of the theoretical model.

Qu'enseignons-nous?: Un regard sur l'état de la science politique au Brésil

Subjects: subject: Political Science, General.

description: Alors que le Brésil connaît un essor politique et social sans précédent, comment ce phénomène se répercute t-il sur la discipline des sciences sociales intéressée au premier chef par de tels changements, la science politique ? Notre étude note l'absence d'une véritable réflexion sur le développement de la science politique dans le Brésil contemporain, surtout au niveau de l'enseignement. Nous cherchons donc à brosser un portrait rigoureux de l'enseignement de la discipline au Brésil aux cycles supérieurs, notamment en s'interrogeant sur la présence d'une hégémonie méthodologique et théorique en provenance des pays ou la science politique s'est institutionnalisée en premier. La discipline calque-elle son enseignement sur ce qui se fait au " centre " ou doit-on plutôt parler d'un enseignement proprement brésilien de la science politique ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous procédons à une analyse du contenu des plans de cours d'un échantillon représentatif d'institutions d'enseignement brésiliennes, complémentée par une serie d'entretiens semi-dirigés avec des professeurs de science politique. Notre analyse des résultats obtenus tend à montrer que l'enseignement de la science politique aux cycles superieurs au Brésil dépend largement d'instruments théoriques et méthodologiques importés du centre mais que cette importation est diverse et fragmentée, ce qui remet en question l'idée d'une dépendance singulière face à l'étranger. Notre thèse se veut une contribution empirique à l'établissement d'un portrait général de l'état de la science politique au Brésil et représente une opportunité de comprendre le développement de la science politique en dehors des " centres " nord-américains et européens.
