Putting Jazz on the Page : "The Weary Blues" and "Jazztet Muted" by Langston Hughes

Hertzberg McKnight, Ralph January 2019 (has links)
The goal of this essay is to look at the poems “The Weary Blues” and “JAZZTETMUTED” (hereafter to be referred to as “JAZZTET”) by Langston Hughes andexamine their relationships to both the blues and jazz structurally, lyrically, andthematically. I examine the relationship of blues and jazz to the African-Americancommunity of Harlem, New York in the 1920’s and the 1950’s when the poems wererespectively published. Integral to any understanding of what Hughes sought toaccomplish by associating his poetry so closely with these music styles are the contexts,socially and politically, in which they are produced, particularly with respect to theAfrican-American experience.I will examine Hughes’ understanding of not only the sound of the two stylesof music but of what the music represents in the context of African-American historyand how he combines these to effectively communicate blues and jazz to the page. / <p>A</p>

"Ser-mãe-no-mundo com o filho que sofreu queimaduras: um estudo compreensivo" / "To be-a-mother-in-the world with a child victim of burns: a comprehensive study"

Lúcia Aparecida Ferreira 12 April 2006 (has links)
Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na linha fenomenológica, realizada com mães de crianças que sofreram queimaduras e foram internadas na Unidade de Queimados, do Hospital das Clínicas, da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, da Universidade de São Paulo (UQ-HCFMRP – USP). Teve por objetivo compreender e interpretar à luz da psicologia fenomenológica o que é ser-mãe-no-mundo com um filho que sofreu queimaduras. Foram convidadas 10 (dez) mães de crianças que estiveram internadas na UQ-HCFMRP – USP, de janeiro a dezembro de 2004; sendo que destas, apenas oito consentiram em participar da pesquisa. Destas oito mães que participaram da pesquisa, utilizaram-se os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ter um filho queimado internado na Unidade de Queimados; a mãe estar acompanhando o filho, e a criança se encontrar na fase mediata ou de recuperação. Os dados foram obtidos através da entrevista fenomenológica, a partir de uma questão norteadora: "Gostaria que você descrevesse como é ser-mãe-no-mundo com o filho que sofreu queimaduras”. A Análise Fenomenológica foi baseada nas orientações de estudo desta linha. Foram identificadas seis categorias temáticas: Lembranças do momento do acidente (Temporalidade); Procedimentos adotados após o acidente (Temporalidade e Solicitude); Manifestações de sentimentos (Afetividade); A mãe fala de si: preocupações e questionamentos (Preocupações); A mãe fala do comportamento da criança (Ser-com); Refere-se ao hospital, à equipe de saúde, ao relacionamento com o hospital e a equipe (Ser-com) que revelaram sentimentos de medo, tristeza, raiva, angústia, ansiedade, dor, impotência e culpa que permearam todos os discursos das mães. A pesquisa desvelou o apoio das mães a seus filhos, mesmo que algumas vezes, de forma solitária, pois em algumas entrevistas evidenciou-se a ausência da figura paterna, sendo que em sua maioria encontraram apoio e suporte na equipe multidisciplinar. As preocupações e sofrimentos das mães, decorrentes da queimadura e longo tempo de internação, levaram-nas a experienciar situações que as fizeram refletir sobre a sua existência humana e, a partir daí, parece ter ocorrido uma transformação desse ser-mãe-no-mundo com o filho que sofreu queimaduras, transformação esta, importante que parece marcar o seu existir. / This qualitative and phenomenological research was carried out among mothers of children who were victims of burns and were hospitalized at the Burns Nursing Unit of the Hospital das Clínicas at the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto Medical School (BNU-HCFMRP – USP). The aim was to understand and interpret, in the light of phenomenological psychology, what it means to be-a-mother-in-the world with a child who is a burns victim. We invited 10 (ten) mothers of children who were hospitalized at the BNU-HCFMRP – USP between January and December 2004, only 8 of whom agreed to participate. The following inclusion criteria were used for the 8 mothers who participated: having a child victim of burns hospitalized at the Burns Unit; mother accompanying her child, and child in the mediate or recovery phase. Data were obtained through a phenomenological interview with one guiding question: "I would like you to describe to be what it is like to be-a-mother-in-the-world with a child victim of burns." Phenomenological Analysis was based on orientations for this line of study. Six thematic categories were identified: memories of the time of the accident (Temporality); Procedures adopted after the accident (Temporality and Solicitude); Manifestations of feelings (Affection); The mother talks about herself: concerns and inquiries (Preoccupations); The mother talks about the child’s behavior (To be-with); She refers to the hospital, the health team and the relation with hospital and team (To be-with). These showed feelings of fear, sadness, anger, anguish, anxiety, pain, impotence and guilt, which permeated the mothers’ discourse. This study evidenced the mothers’ support to their children, even if solitarily at times, as the absence of the father figure was clear in some interviews. Most mothers found support in the multidisciplinary team. As a result of their concerns and suffering, due to the burn and the long hospitalization, the mothers experienced situations that made them reflect on their human existence and, from this point onwards, a transformation of this being-a-mother-in-the-world with a child victim of burns seems to have happened. This important transformation seems to mark their existence.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernanda Freire dos Santos.pdf: 2446064 bytes, checksum: 7b0bcb2c75aaf557d7a717cfc15175dd (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-08 / The aim of this study is to analyse the existence of the so-called "right to be forgotten", characterised as a desire of an individual regarding a fact from the past, published at the time, in a lawful way, not to be remembered in current or even past information (accessed through the Internet) by virtue of the disturbance caused to their life in the present. Not expressly implemented in Brazil, the right to be forgotten has emerged within a tense situation between communicative freedoms and fundamental personality rights, such as private life (not only treated herein as the traditional concept, but a more dynamic and relational definition, involving the control of personal data and information), image and honour. Considering that the absence of contemporaneous information is only one of the factual circumstances to be observed when assessing communicative freedoms and fundamental personality rights, the theory of principles developed by Robert Alexy is adopted as a model for resolving the tensions between fundamental rights. Based on this theoretical assumption, we examine communicative freedoms and fundamental personality rights in Brazil, in order to, in sequence, scrutinise the right to be forgotten from the foreign experience and in Brazilian cases. In addressing the desire to be forgotten in the traditional media and in the digital context, we differentiate its main aspects and its mechanisms of regulation and guardianship. We scrutinise the right to memory and truth, the right to informational self-determination, the storage of old news in digital Press archives and the removal of links from the search results in search engines, so-called de-indexation. Finally, we analyse specific cases submitted to the Judiciary Branch involving the right to be forgotten digitally in Brazil and we apply the rule of proportionality / O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar a existência do denominado “direito ao esquecimento”, caracterizado como uma pretensão de seu titular não ser relembrado em uma informação atual, ou mesmo pretérita (acessada pela Internet), de um fato do passado, publicizado, à época, de forma lícita, em virtude da perturbação causada à vida presente. Não expressamente positivado no Brasil, o direito ao esquecimento tem se revelado em uma situação de tensão entre as liberdades comunicativas e os direitos fundamentais da personalidade, como a vida privada (aqui não apenas em seu conceito tradicional, mas em uma definição mais dinâmica e relacional, envolvendo o controle de dados e informações pessoais), a imagem e a honra. Considerando que a ausência de contemporaneidade da informação é apenas uma das circunstâncias fáticas a serem observadas quando do sopesamento entre as liberdades comunicativas e os direitos fundamentais da personalidade, adota-se como modelo para resolução das tensões entre os direitos fundamentais a teoria dos princípios desenvolvida por Robert Alexy. Com base neste pressuposto teórico, examinamos as liberdades comunicativas e os direitos fundamentais da personalidade no Brasil, para, na sequência, esmiuçarmos o direito ao esquecimento a partir da experiência estrangeira e dos casos brasileiros. Em abordagem à pretensão ao olvido nas mídias tradicionais e no contexto digital, diferenciamos seus principais aspectos e os seus mecanismos de regulação e tutela. Esquadrinhamos o direito à memória e à verdade, o direito à autodeterminação informativa, a manutenção de notícias antigas em arquivos digitais da imprensa e a remoção de links dos resultados de pesquisa em motores de busca, a chamada desindexação. Ao final, analisamos casos concretos submetidos ao Poder Judiciário envolvendo o direito ao esquecimento digital no Brasil e aplicamos a regra da proporcionalidade

O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar físico-química, biológica e antigenicamente o vírus BE AR 701405, com o objetivo de obter dados que auxiliassem sua classificação taxonômica. Camundongos recém-nascidos manifestaram alterações neurológicas, como tremores e ausência de coordenação motora, após a infecção pelo vírus BE AR 701405. O vírus praticamente não determinou efeito citopático (ECP) nas células de Aedes albopictus, clone C6/36, entretanto, causou ECP em células Vero com aproximadamente 48 horas pós- infecção. O título do vírus obtido foi de 10-4,1 DL50/ 0,02 mL e o título após a ação do DCA foi de 10−2,6 DL50/0,02 mL. O vírus BE AR 701405 reagiu antigenicamente com o soro hiperimune do Virus Pixuna. Portanto, o vírus BE AR 701405 é sensível ao DCA o que indica que é um vírus envelopado. Ele é um membro do grupo antigênico A, do gênero Alphavirus, família Togaviridae, relacionado ao Virus Pixuna. Camundongos recém-nascidos e células Vero e C6/36 são suscetíveis à infecção pelo vírus BE AR 701405. Estudos posteriores são necessários para esclarecer o relacionamento antigênico do vírus BE AR 701405 com o Virus Pixuna. / The BE AR 701405 virus was isolated from a pool of Psorophora (Jan.) ferox mosquitoes captured in the municipality of Altamira, Para state, Northern Brazil, in 2006. The objective of this study was the physicochemical, biological and antigenic characterization of the BE AR 701405 virus in order to provide data for it taxonomic classification. Newborn mice inoculated by intracerebral route showed evidences of neurological manifestations, such as chill and motor disorders after the infection with the virus BE AR 701405. Cytophatic effect (CPE) was in infected Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells was not clearly observed, however in VERO cells CPE was observed after 48 hors post infection. The virus load was determined in 10-4,1 LD50/ 0.02 mL and the titer after DCE analysis was calculated in 10−2,6 LD50/0,02 mL. The BE AR 701405 virus reacted antigenically with Pixuna virus hiperimmune serum. In conclusion, the studied vírus was sensible to the DCA solvent suggesting that it is an enveloped virus. Furthermore, by serology this virus was identified as a member of the group A, genus Alphavirus, family Togaviridae, more closely related to Pixuna virus. In addition, newborn mice, as well as C6/36 and VERO cells demonstrated to be sensible to the infection by the BE AR 701405 vírus. Further studies are needed to better understand the antigenic relationship between the BE AR 701405 virus and Pixuna virus.

A deficiência do hormônio do crescimento (DGH) precisa ser considerada quando outras causas de BE são excluídas, porém há limitações quanto ao estabelecimento de seu diagnóstico definitivo, sendo assunto de vários debates e controvérsias. Apesar de muito questionados, os testes de estímulo de GH ainda são considerados o padrão para a confirmação diagnóstica de DGH. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar a sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia dos diferentes pontos de corte de pico de GH utilizados para o diagnóstico de DGH, sob o estímulo do teste de tolerância à insulina (TTI) e do teste da clonidina, além de identificar o melhor nivel de pico de GH para confirmar o diagnóstico por meio da abordagem da curva ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics). Para este fim, foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo e de caráter observacional, a partir da coleta de dados clínicos e laboratoriais de 62 pacientes do serviço de endocrinologia do Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB). O padrão-ouro considerado para análise de desempenho dos pontos de corte em ambos os testes de estímulo de GH foi a resposta terapêutica. Assim, 26 pacientes que obtiveram acréscimo de altura de pelo menos 0,3 desvio-padrão ao final de um ano de tratamento com o GH recombinante humano (rhGH) foram classificados como DGH. Os pacientes que não obtiveram esse ganho foram classificados como não-DGH. Ambos os grupos partiram de estaturas médias semelhantes (p = 0,8155) e obtiverem ganho de estatura ao final do acompanhamento, porém esse ganho foi maior no grupo DGH em comparação ao não-DGH (20,5 ± 14,8 cm vs. 9,2 ± 6,7 cm, respectivamente; p = 0,0064). O grupo DGH apresentou pico mediano de GH significativamente menor em relação ao grupo não-DGH em ambos os testes (p < 0,0001). Foram definidas sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia dos pontos de corte 3, 5, 7 e 10 ng/mL no TTI e no teste da clonidina, não sendo observada superioridade de um teste sobre o outro. Adicionalmente, foram encontrados os pontos de corte 7,92 ng/mL e 6,78 ng/mL para o TTI e teste da clonidina, respectivamente, a partir da construção da curva ROC, representando os níveis de pico de GH mais sensíveis e específicos para o diagnóstico de DGH. Concluímos que os pontos de corte encontrados neste estudo poderão representar uma ferramenta emergente na seleção de pacientes que provavelmente se beneficiariam do tratamento com rhGH, sendo eles DGH por uma causa conhecida ou mesmo DGHI. / Short stature (SS) is an important referral cause for evaluation in pediatric endocrinology. Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) needs to be considered when other causes of BE are excluded, but there are limitations in establishing its definitive diagnosis, being the subject of several debates and controversies. Although highly questioned, GH stimulation tests are still considered the standard for the diagnostic confirmation of GHD. The present study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the different GH peak cut-off points for diagnosis of GHD, in response to stimulus by insulin tolerance test (ITT) and clonidine test, in addition to identifying the best GH peak level to confirm diagnosis using a Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve analysis. For this purpose, a retrospective and observational study was carried out. Clinical and laboratory data from 62 patients at the endocrinology department of the Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto (HUJBB) were collected. The gold standard considered for performance analysis of cut-off points in both GH stimulation tests was the therapeutic response. Thus, 26 patients who achieved a height increase of at least 0,3 standard-deviation at the end of one year of treatment with recombinant human GH (rhGH) were classified as GHD. The remaining patients who did not obtain this gain formed the group called non-GHD. Both groups had similar mean height (p = 0,8155) and gained height at the end of follow-up, but this gain was higher in the GHD group compared to the non-GHG group (20,5 ± 14,8 cm vs. 9,2 ± 6,7 cm, respectively, p = 0,0064). GHD group had a significantly lower meddle GH peak than the non-GHG group in both tests (p <0,0001). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of cut-off points 3, 5, 7 and 10 ng/mL were defined in the TTI and in the clonidine test, and there was no superiority of one test over the other. In addition, the cut-off points found were 7,92 ng/mL and 6,78 ng/mL in the TTI and clonidine test, respectively, based on the construction of the ROC curve, representing the most sensitive and specific GH peak levels for the diagnosis of GHD. We conclude that the cut-off points found in this study may represent an emerging tool in the selection of patients who would probably benefit from treatment with rhGH, both in cases of GHD for a known cause and in cases of IGHD.

Revealing the Structure of the Outer Disks of Be Stars

Klement, Robert, Carciofi, Anthony C., Rivinius, Thomas, Matthews, Lynn D., Vieira, Rodrigo G., Ignace, Richard, Bjorkman, Jon E., Mota, B. C., Faes, Daniel M., Bratcher, A. D., Cure, M., Stefl, Stanislav 01 May 2017 (has links)
Context. The structure of the inner parts of Be star disks (≲ 20 stellar radii) is well explained by the viscous decretion disk (VDD) model, which is able to reproduce the observable properties of most of the objects studied so far. The outer parts, on the other hand, are not observationally well-explored, as they are observable only at radio wavelengths. A steepening of the spectral slope somewhere between infrared and radio wavelengths was reported for several Be stars that were previously detected in the radio, but a convincing physical explanation for this trend has not yet been provided. Aims. We test the VDD model predictions for the extended parts of a sample of six Be disks that have been observed in the radio to address the question of whether the observed turndown in the spectral energy distribution (SED) can be explained in the framework of the VDD model, including recent theoretical development for truncated Be disks in binary systems. Methods. We combine new multi-wavelength radio observations from the Karl. G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) and Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) with previously published radio data and archival SED measurements at ultraviolet, visual, and infrared wavelengths. The density structure of the disks, including their outer parts, is constrained by radiative transfer modeling of the observed spectrum using VDD model predictions. In the VDD model we include the presumed effects of possible tidal influence from faint binary companions. Results. For 5 out of 6 studied stars, the observed SED shows strong signs of SED turndown between far-IR and radio wavelengths. A VDD model that extends to large distances closely reproduces the observed SEDs up to far IR wavelengths, but fails to reproduce the radio SED. Using a truncated VDD model improves the fit, leading to a successful explanation of the SED turndown observed for the stars in our sample. The slope of the observed SEDs in the radio is however not well reproduced by disks that are simply cut off at a certain distance. Rather, some matter seems to extend beyond the truncation radius, where it still contributes to the observed SEDs, making the spectral slope in the radio shallower. This finding is in agreement with our current understanding of binary truncation from hydrodynamical simulations, in which the disk does extend past the truncation radius. Therefore, the most probable cause for the SED turndown is the presence of binary companions that remain undetected for most of our sources.

The Right to Be Forgotten: Analyzing Conflicts Between Free Expression and Privacy Rights

Weston, Mindy 01 May 2017 (has links)
As modern technology continues to affect civilization, the issue of electronic rights grows in a global conversation. The right to be forgotten is a data protection regulation specific to the European Union but its consequences are creating an international stir in the fields of mass communication and law. Freedom of expression and privacy rights are both founding values of the United States which are protected by constitutional amendments written before the internet also changed those fields. In a study that analyzes the legal process of when these two fundamental values collide, this research offers insight into both personal and judicial views of informational priority. This thesis conducts a legal analysis of cases that cite the infamous precedents of Melvin v. Reid and Sidis v. F-R Pub. Corp., to examine the factors on which U.S. courts of law determinewhether freedom or privacy rules.

Este trabajo fue realizado para cubrir una necesidad que hoy en día tiene mucha importancia en las personas, el cual es tener un mejor estilo de vida mediante una buena ingesta de comida saludable. Para ello, se identificó, mediante una investigación hecha a un grupo de personas interesadas en estos cambios, que habían dos inconvenientes muy puntuales para que puedan vivir con este nuevo proceso y cambios en sus vidas. Se trata del factor tiempo para poder prepararse el tipo de comida que hoy en día necesitarían para mejorar su estilo de vida y el conocimiento sobre ello para saber adecuadamente las porciones e ingredientes que deberían considerar. A raíz de ese hallazgo es que vimos una oportunidad de hacer un modelo de negocio que cubra con cada punto hallado en la investigación con la finalidad de entregar un servicio que cubra la necesidad de estas personas. Por ello, creamos NUTRIVA, un modelo de negocio sofisticado el cual consiste en brindar un servicio de delivery de comida saludable mediante paquetes mensuales por medio un aplicativo móvil muy sofisticado que servirá para brindarte consejos de alimentación, planes alimenticios diarios, monitoreo y seguimiento de tu desempeño, entre muchas otras asesorías con relación a comer saludable y estar informado sobre todo lo que se debe saber para estar en forma mediante un equipo de nutricionistas. / This project was done to cover a need that today is very important in people, which is to have a better lifestyle through a good intake of healthy food. To do this, it was identified, through an investigation made to a group of people interested in these changes, that there were two very specific inconveniences so that they could live with this new process and changes in their lives. It is about the time factor to be able to prepare the type of food that today they would need to improve their lifestyle and the knowledge about it to know adequately the portions and ingredients that they should consider. Following this finding is that we saw an opportunity to make a business model that covers each point found in the investigation in order to deliver a service that meets the need of these people. Therefore, we created NUTRIVA, a sophisticated business model which consists of providing a healthy food delivery service through monthly packages through a highly sophisticated mobile application that will serve to provide you with food tips, daily food plans, monitoring and tracking of your performance, among many other advice regarding healthy eating and being informed about everything you need to know to be fit, through a team of nutritionists. / Trabajo de investigación
